Benicio Del Toro To Be The Wolf Man

Benicio Del Toro is set to star in a remake of the film The Wolf Man.

The new movie will also be set in Victorian England, as was the original film in 1941.  Del Toro will play the lead role, a man who leaves America to return to his homeland where he is killed by a group of werewolves.  At nightfall, he turns into The Wolf Man.

Filming for the project is set to begin in early 2007, and The Wolf Man is expected to be in cinemas in 2008.
