• Wolf Man director quits over dollar dispute

  Director Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo) has bailed from The Wolf Man, just weeks before shooting on Universal's lycanthropic horror flick was set to begin. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Romanek's exit stemmed from a disagreement over the film's budget, which the studio was determined to keep under $100 million.

  Universal appears intent on moving forward without delay, though a new helmer has yet to be chosen. Anthony Hopkins and Benicio del Toro are slated to star.
