Earlier in the year, there were reports that Universal was working on a direct-to-DVD sequel to 2010's The Wolfman. Moviehole is now reporting that the film is actually planned as a reboot that will be closer to the original 1941 classic.
According to Moviehole: "...the Universal project is currently undergoing a rewrite; it is likely headed before the cameras in the Fall. The studio is said to be talking to prospective directors over the next couple of weeks. Casting will begin shortly thereafter."
There is no word on whether this is still a direct-to-DVD project, although it would surprise us if they rushed a reboot of The Wolfman to theaters so quickly after the last film was released and underperformed. We'll report back as soon as more information is released.
