The last time we heard about Universal's future plans for The Wolfman, the report was that the studio is essentially planning to pretend the 2010 film by Joe Johnston (who stepped in at the last minute) never existed.

Rumor: 'The Wolfman' Already Heading For A Reboot?
The modern incarnations of the Universal's classic monster stable haven't quite had the best luck. And by 'modern' I mean in the last twenty years: Francis Ford Coppola kicked things off with his not-quite-canonical retelling of Dracula, and Kenneth Branagh bombed with his take on Frankenstein. (Neither of which were Universal films, however.) Fast-forward several…

Sample The Rejected Rock Score For The Wolfman
Many changes were wrought to Joe Johnston's The Wolfman during production, many of which we talked about yesterday. One of the last-stage changes was a switch from Danny Elfman's original score to a new one by electronic/rock composer Paul Haslinger. Originally working as part of Tangerine Dream in the mid '80s, Haslinger had a part…
