The remake, starring Benecio Del Toro and Anthony Hopkins, was originally scheduled for February 9, 2009; it was then pushed back to April 3, and then again to November 6. Well apparently delaying this monster movie remake has gotten to be a favorite pastime for Universal, because they have delayed it yet again to February 12, 2010. So let’s see, this $112 million budget film is on it’s second director, and fourth release date. I think there’s a few worried execs at Universal right about now.
Universal Orlando releases promotional artwork for Halloween Horror Nights 2009

“Ripped from the Silver Screen” will be the theme of this year’s HHN. According to Universal’s press release, the Wolfman haunt will also be a special preview for the movie due in November. I’m not too excited to see Chucky in the promo artwork – I’ve never found the movies scary. While I’m not a fan of the Saw movies either, I’ll admit the Jigsaw character will fit in with HHN. What I’m most excited about is that the theme “Ripped from the Silver Screen” does support the rumor of a Bioshock themed haunt, since Universal does own the rights to the movie, and it is due out in 2010. They’re using HHN to cross-promote Wolfman, so maybe they will get an early start on promoting Bioshock as well.
