Director Mark Romanek has quit Universal's planned remake of the Lon Chaney horror classic The Wolf Man. According to the Deadline Hollywood site, Romanek complained that the budget of $85-$100 was simply insufficient for a film in with only one monster. (Unless the script calls for a Love Boat- like, all-star monster cast a la the ill-fated Van Helsing.) If you've never heard of Romanek, you're not alone. Aside from directing one feature film (the 2002 Robin Williams thriller One-Hour Photo), Romanek's resume is as thin as a Hollywood starlet, with primarily music videos to his credit. Nevertheless, in the great traditions of artists since Van Gogh, Romanek isn't about to compromise his reputation by directing a movie with one hirsute, ill-tempered star (not Sean Connery!) on a paltry budget of only $85-$100 million. Here's an idea for Universal: scrap the whole project, which is bound to be laden with awful CGI-effects, and book the original film into theaters nationwide.
