Cry Wolf

The Wolfman is a 2010 remake of the 1941 classic horror film of the same name.
Set in the late 1880s, the film keeps the plotline of the original, with Lawrence Talbot (Benicio del Toro) meeting his father (Anthony Hopkins) following the death (and in the remake, disappearance) of his brother.
The Wolfman details events during Lawrence’s past that led to his estrangement from his father, and the setting is changed from the mythical Welsh village of Llanwelly to the English village of Blackmore and the city of London. The official synopsis states Talbot was traumatized by his mother’s death as a child, while Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt) is his brother’s fiancée. Following his brother’s disappearance, Talbot hunts a murderer, which turns out to be a werewolf, and the curse is passed on. The remake is directed by Joe Johnston and stars Benicio del Toro.
