Del Toro to become 'The Wolf Man'

Benicio Del Toro, who if you think about it kind of looks like Lon Chaney Jr., wants to star in a remake of the Universal classic, The Wolf Man.

Del Toro, an avid Wolf Man fan and collector himself, will play the titular hairy hero after he wraps Steven Soderbergh's Che Guevara biopic "Guerrilla" next year. As in the original, Del Toro will play a man bitten by a werewolf in Victorian England, although scripting by Andrew Kevin Walker ("Se7en") will update the story.
