Earlier this month I posted the story that The Wolfman had been pushed back to February of next year. Well now they’ve released a trailer and I think it will be worth the wait.

Lawrence Talbot (Benicio Del Toro), a haunted nobleman, is lured back to his family estate after his brother vanishes. Reunited with his estranged father (Anthony Hopkins), Talbot sets out to find his brother… and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself. Talbot’s childhood ended the night his mother died. After he left the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor, he spent decades recovering and trying to forget. But when his brother’s fiancée, Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt), tracks him down to help find her missing love, Talbot returns home to join the search. He learns that something with brute strength and insatiable bloodlust has been killing the villagers, and that a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector named Aberline (Hugo Weaving) has come to investigate.

My first thoughts after viewing this trailer are that it’s got to be a hit. It looks awesome! I don’t think it will an all out horror movie, it definitely seems more accessible to the mainstream ‘non-horror’ fans. It’s got a big score, talented actors and appears well scripted. And I didn’t get any signs of cheesiness which would have instantly put me off.

I’m really excited to see this.

Take a look after the jump…
