Ok, I'm a bit confused about this new Universal Wolfman film. The posters say "coming soon" and give a date of 12/2/10. Are we seeing trailers and promos for a film with a release date that is actually more than a year away??? That's some sort of pre-release publicity record in my book.Â

Retro responds: Bill, it's long been said that Americans and Brits are two peoples separated by a common language. You can extend that to how we designate dates on the calendar, as well. The posters in question were designed for the British market, which puts the day first, followed by month, then year. Thus, the anticipated release date is 12 February 2010. Universal executives would have heart palpitations if they were to carry this expensive film through the end of 2010 before releasing it. The movie seems to have been in production since Lon Chaney Jr. originally played the role...- Lee Pfeiffer
