Del Toro seems psyched for the project to be directed by Mark Romanek. “We’re trying to go back to the original. There’s something very nostalgic about it for me. I loved all those monsters when I was a kid,” he said.

Anthony Hopkins Role In The Wolfman

Anthony Hopkins told RottenTomatoes.com that he is considering a role in The Wolfman, starring Benicio Del Toro.

"There's also a chance I may play the Wolfman in London in a movie with Benicio Del Toro," Hopkins told the site. "My agent says it's a great script, but he hasn't sent it to me yet."

Hopkins indicated that this is purely a matter of studio negotiations and that he wants the role. "He said he just wants to make sure that the deal is all in, but I play the Wolfman's father in Paris. A wonderful part."

The film would be based on Universal Pictures' classic 1941 movie The Wolf Man.
