BENICIO DEL TORO EVEN MORE WOLF LIKE
03.20.08
These are the first pictures of Benicio Del Toro as the Wolf Man in director Joe Johnston’s upcoming remake, The Wolf Man. Makeup artist Rick Baker described the three-hour process:
The part that covers his nose and his brow is what we call an appliance. It’s made up of a foam, latex piece with tissue-thin edges that covers part of Benicio’s face and blends into his own skin. Then we have a wig and dentures that change his teeth into the giant Wolfman teeth. Most of the hair on his face is what we call ”laid.” It’s actually loose hair that we apply little bits at a time with glue to his face. It’s very much the way the Wolfman was done in the [1941] original [starring Lon Chaney]. [EW]
In addition to his extensive makeup, Gary Busey was brought in as a creative consultant to teach Del Toro how to realistically devour live animals. (I know, too easy, right?)

It’s nice to see that Benicio’s cleaned himself up a bit.
Zac Efron is very jealous of the hairdo.
Most of the hair on his crotch is also what we call "laid"
Sweet, another movie about Persians.
My ex wife wanted to be a special effects make-up artist, I think. She was constantly trying to put appliances on my face. I drew the line at the waffle iron.

Yeah, that’s the same process that happens to my
dead hookersgirlfriends too…If it’s the same make up process as the 1941 movie, how come Lon Chaney looked like a bearded lady and Del Toro looks like a badass?
Bah! Back in the day, Lon Chaney would have killed a werewolf, tucked his dick between his legs, and wore the hide for the movie! That guy was extreme! Dor sho gha!
bryce-Correction: Lon CHaney, Jr. was in the 1941 film. Lon Chaney, Sr. was a bad ass.
Lon Chaney? The last time I saw him was at Trader Vic’s. His hair was perfect.
That looks like the same cloud of smoke i used to stroll into middle school with.
Thanks to corporate product placement in today’s movies, the only weapon capable of killing the wolfman in this film will be the mythical "Heineken Hammer"
Or work after lunch nowadays.
Wouldn’t it be the Coors Light Cannon? Shooting refreshing, smooth Silver Bullets straight from the Colorado Rockies.
"The part that covers his nose and his brow is what we call an appliance."
Rick Baker went on to say, the part that covers his torso is what we call a ‘shirt’. The part that covers his genitals, hips, and legs is what we, in the business, call ‘pants’. The part that covers his feet are customarily termed ’shoes’. Rick Baker then informed EW’s interviewer that he is "from Oregon."
No, this is Europe’s way of getting back at us for replacing the only European-made cars in Transformers with GM’s
Kudos to Stone Soup. Long live *cough* long live *cough, cough* long *cough* *wheeze* ummm, yeah Warren Zevon.
*cough*
I wonder if this Wolfman has nards.
I think I’m part werewolf because every time I drink Coors Light I get terrible diahrea.
In addition to his extensive makeup, Ron Jeremy was brought in as a creative consultant to teach Del Toro how to realistically lick his own balls and provide excess body hair.
Judging by his hairstyle and beard, I see wolfmen in tight jeans riding 10-speed bikes all over Orlando. I just assumed they were hipster douchebags.
I hope he pisses all over the bathroom to mark his territory. That never gets old.
Did Joe Johnston lose the ventriliquist’s dummy?
Oh wait, that way Jay, not Joe.
but can he make the final free throw shot as just plain Benicio?
