Since the news first broke so many months ago that Benicio Del Toro would be playing everyone's favorite lycan, The Wolfman, the biggest question has been what he'll look like. Of course we all have faith in Rick Baker, but nowadays you just can't be too sure of anything.
Well, put those fears to rest. EW.com got the first look at Benicio in character as part of an interview with Baker himself. If the photos aren't enough to convince you, Baker goes on to declare, "What I would say to fans is that at least you know that the guy who's doing the makeup in the movie is coming from the same place they are — as a fan. I have a real appreciation for the old Universal classics. The old fanboy in me is jumping up and down here!"
I don't think you're the only one jumping for joy right now, Rick! For another picture and the rest of the interview, visit EW.com immediately.
Howl at the moon in the Dread Central forums!

It's just great. I couldn't have hoped for more. It's been a while since we had a torn shirt werewolf.

Damn, giving away the fun already?
Either way, great picture. Very faithful to Chaney.
