In Friday's DAILY VARIETY and HOLLYWOOD REPORTER than ran some great articles about this project, and while the title is still up in the air, the wolfman does appear still. SO most of what I ran was dead on. But here's a report from someone that's seen a bit more, and here's his descriptions...
Being the classic monster freak that I am, I thought I'd pass along some cool info on the upcoming remake of "Frankenstein" . Universal Pictures is planning on doing an all-computer generated remake of this classic and plans on releasing it on Halloween,2000. All this is based on a 17 second test film created by ILM. Picture this: A SHAQ sized hulk lumbering downstairs to his lair, the floor thudding with each step as if his legs were filled with concrete . Suddenly a door flies open, piercing the room with a shaft of light. Surprised, the giant turns towards us, the light illuminating the familiar scars on his hairline and the bolts in his neck. The real impressive part was vulnerable look in his eyes. They were the real eyes of a man, not the computer generated type. This super secret project is an 80 million dollar movie will be overseen by 2 directors, ILM's visual effects supervisor Dave Carson and Brett Maddock, a veteran screenwriter who co-wrote the "Frankenstein" script with writing partner S.S Wilson. The story will retain a period setting of 19 century Europe, and is expected to have close to 1500 cgi shots. They plan on using the computer technology to re-create the original makeup done by Jack Pierce and the Boris Karloff profile, to have the monster look the way it should. Look for "The Wolfman" to co-star .
