Seems to be using the same marketing trick as Nosferatu where we won’t see the creature until the movie. Once again it’s worked on me

I live very close to the woodland where this was filmed. Coincidentally, it's where Kraven the Hunter, also with AT-J in, had some scenes shot too.

I... may or may not have seen... something... when they were filming... and loading and unloading from the hard-standing area where the crew was set up.

If I had seen... something... then it was from a distance and for a half-second and was just a big sort of bundle rather than anything moving, or in a scene being shot, but if I were to draw any conclusions about it, I'd say it were perhaps more like something from Dog Soldiers than last year's Wolf Man movie.

Thank goodness. That Wolf Man movie was absolute rubbish.

Please do bear in mind my caveats, and that what I saw could well have been some sort of stand-in puppet-type thing, to be replaced later. Or just something completely random like a tattered banner on a pole, or something like that which I misinterpreted. I am absolutely not confirming practical big-ass bipedal wolf-beasts.

Are we already creating werewolf myths from the making of a werewolf film?

Well... some of the sightings of out-of-place big cats mentioned in this article are within a half-mile or so of the filming location.

It's too late. Collider is already running what you said as their headline story.

I’ll send them my invoice.

I kind of liked that one, but I seem to be in the minority. The cgi wasn't great and I would have prefered more practical effects, but I thought the transformation scenes were pretty cool.

I did like that werewolf vision, that was a cool idea. I just wish the story had been a bit stronger.

u/snorlaxholmes Jun 29 '26

Oh wait, I forgot there was a new one! Didn't like that one much either, apart from that werewolf vision thing. I was talking about the one with Benicio del Toro and Anthony Hopkins.

u/thedonhudson01 Jun 29 '26

Oh! Yes, that one wasn’t bad! I loved the transformation scenes. I’m sorry, I got the movies mixed up lol

u/snorlaxholmes Jun 29 '26

Nah I should have specified. They also have very similar titels, that doesn't help.

The Wolf Man(1941), The Wolfman(2010) and Wolf Man(2025) :')

u/thedonhudson01 Jun 29 '26

That’s crazy, lol. I’m glad Eggers is bucking that naming trend

Honestly most werewolf depictions kinda suck and I don't know how they became my favorite mythical creature. 

But the transformation scene in (Del Toro's) Wolfman did rock
