The trailer of the remake of the 1941 horror classic The Wolfman debuted on Yahoo! Movies. The upcoming film features Benecio Del Toro as the lycan itself as well as Anthony Hopkins and Emily Blunt as Sir Jon Talbot and Gwen Conliffe respectively.

The trailer features Anthony Hopkins as Lawrence's father Sir John Talbot, Emily Blunt as Lawrence's love interest Gwen Conliffe, Hugo Weaving as Detective Aberline and Geraldine Chaplin as old Gypsy Maleva. In addition to giving out more to the storyline, it also teases how gory the movie will be.

Inspired by 1941 horror film from producer/director George Waggner, "The Wolfman" is set in the late 1880s and follows Lawrence Talbot, a haunted-by-his-past nobleman who is forced to go back to his family estate and meet his estranged father after his brother vanishes. Seeking to find his brother and his murderer, he soon finds out a horrifying secret cursed upon him.
