Universal Studios resurrects the classic lycanthrope with this tale of an American who experiences an unsettling transformation after returning to his ancestral home in Victorian-era Great Britain and being attacked by a rampaging werewolf. Benicio Del Toro stars as the unfortunate bite victim in a film penned by Sleepy Hollow scribe Andrew Kevin Walker, with Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt, and Hugo Weaving co-starring and makeup maestro Rick Baker providing the physical effects. Joe Johnston (Jurassic Park III) picked up the directing duties after music video veteran Mark Romanek famously quit the production weeks before shooting was scheduled to begin. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
