April 3, 2009 may be a long time away for Joe Johnston's remake of Universal's classic Wolf Man, but the wait should be worth it. Benicio Del Toro alone makes up for it. If you've been wondering just how close to the original this new venture will be, STYD got a hold of the official synopsis:

Another very interesting name has joined the cast of Universal’s upcoming remake of The Wolf Man according to today’s Variety: former Smith and Elf King Hugo Weaving.

Finally, some movement on the Wolf Man redux front has taken place, and thankfully it’s actually good news, not news that, say, Drew Carey has taken over the title role. Now that is scary.
