In 2009, Werewolves are the New Vampires

Wolfman 2009 Poster

…Or is it werewolves are the new zombies? Whichever it is, 2009 is going to be a big year for high-profile werewolf movies. Besides New Moon, we’ll also be seeing:

Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans (January 2009): This is the third movie in the popular Underworld series, but Kate Beckinsdale won’t be back, and the guy who did the special effects for the last two films is directing this one.

Wolfman ( November 6, 2009): Benicio del Toro and Anthony Hopkins star in Wolfman, which is a remake of the 1941 movie of the same name. It’s being directed by Joe Johnston, who also directed Jumanji and Jurassic Park III.

So what do you think–will this be the year of the wolf? Wolfman is coming out just two weeks before New Moon, although it was originally supposed to come out in April. I wonder if they pushed it back to get some of the werewolf buzz from New Moon to rub off on it?

    It's awesome that we agree on the subject of Taylor remaining cast as Jacob Black but honestly the werewolf gendre has been coming back in full swing starting next year with the Wolfman and Underworld 3 and pretty soon.....New Moon!!! I love vampires as much as the next person but coming 2009 they'll be setting aside their fangs and making way for their howling nemisis. Vampires and zombies have had their spotlight it's time they took a break!!! Werewolves all the way!!!!

    p.s. PLZ LEAVE TAYLOR AS JACOB!!!

    IM TEAM EDWARD AT FIRST I DIDNT LIKE TAYLOR BUT NOW I'VE CHANGE MY MIND BECAUSE TAYLOR IS WORKING VERY, VERY HARD DAY AND NIGHT TO KEEP HIS JOB AT THE NEXT MOVIE NEW MOON. I THINK HE DESERVES THE ROLE AND IF YOU CHANGE TAYLOR FOR COPON OR BEN OR ANYBODY ELSE IS NOT GOING TO BE THE SAME WITHOUT TAYLOR HE IS THE PERFECT GUY FOR THE ROLE OF JACOB BLACK. AND HE IS SHOWING THAT HE IS FIGHTING HIS GUTS OUT TO KEEP HIS JOB AND YOU SHOULD GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO DEMOSTRATE EVERYBODY THAT HE DOSEN'T NEED A REPLACEMENT BECAUSE HE IS PREFECT. SO, IF YOU TAKE LAUTNER OUT OF THE MOVIE , THE MOVIE WILL NOT BE THE SAME. AND I DONT LIKE MICHAEL COPON CAUZE HES PUTTING THAT HIS THE NEXT JACOB BLACK AND ALL THAT SHIT IN FACEBOOK AND ITS NOT EVEN CONFIRMED.
  • ALYSSA
    I DONT THINK YOU SHOULD PUT MICHAEL COPON AS JACOB BLACK CAUZE HIS PUTTING TO MUCH SHIT ON FACEBOOOK ABOUT HIM BEING THE NEXT JACOB BLACK. SO, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MICHAELS FACE WHEN THEY TELL HIM THAT HE WILL NOT BE ON NEW MOON AND THAT TAYLOR KEEPS HIS JOB BECAUSE HIS FIGHTHING HES GUTS OUT FOR IT SO I THINK HE REALLY DESERVES TO KEEP THE ROLE.
    TEAM EDWARD 4EVER.
    HOPE TAYLOR WILL BE ON NEW MOON.

    always been like that and always will be
    It will be a HUGE mistake if they replace Taylor for the role of Jacob Black and many fans would be really mad. Taylor is working sooooo hard to keep the role and they really should give him some credit and he has grown soo much since twilight
    and no i dont think that werewolves are the the new vampires

    KEEP TAYLOR!! :)

    Okay, I'm 'team edward' and I was really kinda "eh, whoever" on the whole who should play Jacob in New Moon and Eclipse. But now, I'm really thinking that Taylor needs to keep this role. This kid is working his butt off to remain as Jacob...it's obvious that his heart and soul are in this and we 'know' him now as Jacob.
    Keep Taylor!
  • TwilightLover21
    i agree on the whole " we 'know' him now as Jacob." Because i know i do, when i read the books now his face comes into my head!

    Summit if you do not keep Taylor you will FAIL!!!!!! He is the only person who can take Jacob's character to new heights!! Give this kid some flippin' credit!!!!!


    Now on the subject of werewolves going to be the new vampire, I totally agree 100%!!! It has been years since we've seen decent horror films about this imfamous monster. I mean the Ginger Snaps series was awesome and who could forget the brilliance of An American Werewolf in London? It's about time Hollywood started taking notice of this creature besides vampires and zombies all the time!!!



    Don't get me wrong I love vampires and zombies but I feel werewolves deserve a comeback. They've been neglected for years evident to plenty of bad movies that totally give this monster a horrible rep. Please Hollywood continue to make good werewolf movies!!!! I'd like to see these monsters reach a respectable & proper cult statis!!!!!

    It's awesome that we agree on the subject of Taylor remaining cast as Jacob Black but honestly the werewolf gendre has been coming back in full swing starting next year with the Wolfman and Underworld 3 and pretty soon.....New Moon!!! I love vampires as much as the next person but coming 2009 they'll be setting aside their fangs and making way for their howling nemisis. Vampires and zombies have had their spotlight it's time they took a break!!! Werewolves all the way!!!!

    I've always loved wolves. Not so sure about werewolves, but definitely wolves ;P Maybe that was why it was so easy for me to see how attractive Jacob is right from the get-go. Even with his flaws, it was far easier for me to read between the lines and see how much he cared for Bells, not just some wedge between her and Edward.


    I hope Summit and Weitz does the saga justice by casting the best people for the Wolf Pack. If they recast Jacob, that will be their biggest mistake.

    As you can see im a TEAM JACOB!! I think the werewolfs in new moon should look like giant wolfs not the weird monster creature things that are SUPER CREAPY, like in Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans and Wolfman. But thats my opinion bcuz Bella said they looked like giant wolves.


    TEAM JACOB/TAYLOR!!!!
