The WOLF MAN Remake Gets a 2018 Release Date

Earlier this week, Prisoners writer Aaron Guzikowski was hired to pen the screenplay for the new Friday the 13th film. Now it looks like one of his other efforts has a release date: Universal's remake of The Wolf Man. Box Office Mojo reports that the film will arrive in theaters on March 30th, 2018.

The studio tried a remake of the movie back in 2010 with Anthony Hopkins and Benicio Del Toro, but that didn't turn out very well. This one, however, will be part of the studio's push to resurrect all of its classic movie monsters — including Dracula, The Invisible Man, Frankenstein, and The Mummy, the latter of which now has Tom Cruise attached to star — into a shared cinematic universe, Marvel-style. Whether that will actually work is still up in the air, but they're definitely not off to a good start considering Dracula Untold is supposed to be a part of that new cineverse. We'll see if The Mummy fares any better, and if not, I wouldn't be surprised to see the studio give up on this whole shared universe entirely.
