- Well, Hollywood is doing it again! Apparently inspired by the success(?) of
- Coppola's Dracula, director Mike Nichols (Regarding Henry, The Graduate, etc.)
- will present, next holidays, Wolf. Apparently a remake of Wolfman with more
- contemporary feel to it. I'm not sure if it's going to be in a gothic,
- Victorian era as Dracula and the two upcoming remakes of Frankenstein. I do
- know that it will star Jack Nicholson (Presumably the Larry Talbot/Wolfman
- character) and Michelle Pfeiffer. Sounds good enough, then again, did
- anyone bother seeing 'Man Trouble'. Hmmm...
-
- Apparently, I was correct a few months ago, when I predicted Hollywood
- rehashing all of the 'Classic' horror films. Why not? It was done in the
- sixties too. Hmmm... 30's, 60's (Well, some were late fifties), and 90's.
- Any connection?
-
- Well, they still haven't touched Jekyll and Hyde yet, or The Mummy, or The
- Phantom of the Opera (Unless you count the recent Robert Englund attempt).
-
- Where are Abbott and Costello when you need them?!?
