Wolfman gets some love

Last Updated on July 27, 2021

Mark Romanek’s remake of THE WOLFMAN is pushing forth with preproduction, with Benicio Del Toro still on board as the titular character. But not much has been heard about other cast joining the film until now.

According to a source from CHUD, super hottie Emily Blunt has been offered the role of Gwen, The Wolfman’ love interest. I don’t know much about how different the script is from the original film, but in the 1941 original Gwen was a local Welsh girl who runs an antique shop. She sells Larry Talbot his famous silver cane. I’ve heard rumors that the Gwen in the 21st century version will be married to Larry’s brother, making their love forbidden.

I’d hate to see them go into the film trying to revamp the structure of the characters. The dynamic worked, and it’s one of the reasons why I feel remakes told drop the ball when compared to their respected originals.

But I can’t complain about Blunt, she’s a total babe. So here’s to hoping that she takes the part!
