The Wolf Man Trailer Hits Two Weeks Before Full Moon

Today, Yahoo! debuted the theatrical trailer for Universal’s upcoming franchise reboot of The Wolf Man. Some may remember the film was set to release this past February, then April, then November, but now is slatted to open February 12, 2010. So just to be safe, wait to buy your tickets until the night before. Usually, movies that bounce around and have re-shoots typically means there was hesitation on behalf of the studio but it looks like the changes made to the film pertained to CG work. Watch the trailer after the jump.

The Wolf Man tells the tale of Lawrence Talbot, a disturbed gentleman who returns home to England upon the disappearance of his brother. He learns that a werewolf was responsible for what happened to his brother and the curse of the werewolf is passed on to him. The film has a very strong cast, but considering the somewhat dated nature of the story, it could end up a flop. Universal compiled their classic monster stories for Van Helsing and put a strong cast with the movie, but that ended up a disappointment. Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt, and Hugo Weaving take on The Wolf Man next February.
