Many since childhood remember Jack London’s White Fang book and its adaptation. It was a wonderful movie about wolves! Now more and more people are shooting not about gray predators, but about werewolves (in other words, werewolves). Such a fashion!
These mythological creatures are present in the series ("Wolf Blood", "Teen Wolf", "The Vampire Diaries", "Supernatural" and others). Pay attention to them in franchises. For example, one of the Hogwarts teachers
(Rimus Lupine performed by David Thewlis, appearing for the first time in the third part about the prisoner of Azkaban and becoming one of the victims of Voldemort in the final of the saga) is a werewolf. And in Twilight there is a whole galaxy of human wolves led by Bella's friend Jason. They, in general, are not bad guys, these “twilight” Indians protecting their territory from vampires. The famous wrestler with evil spirits Van Helsing, as a result of an annoying misunderstanding, became a werewolf and even ruined (not on purpose) his comrade-in-arms, being in an unsightly Werewolf guise. You cannot directly call all these pictures a “movie about wolves,” but the wolves in them are important characters.
In the literal and figurative sense
A good film was shot in 1994 by the legendary Mike Nichols (he is the unique owner of all the entertainment business awards in the United States, including Golden Globe and Oscar). It was a movie about wolves, which was called “Wolf”. The idea of the tape, long hatched and, finally, found a very worthy embodiment, belonged to the lead actor, no less venerable than the director, Jack Nicholson. The plot was about the editor Will, who was bitten by a wolf brought down by his car. As a result, the culprit of the incident began to turn into a wolf. What is interesting: although the horror story is, in fact, about a werewolf, this word itself has never been spoken in the frame. Sharon Stone refused the role of the future "wolf" Will Randall Laura, but she was brilliantly played by Michelle Pfeiffer. Often in the figurative sense, the phrase "lone wolf" is used. Cinema was no exception. An example is the story of the uninhabited ranger played by Chuck Norris (The Lone Wolf McQuade) or the Indian movie The Lone Wolf, as well as the recent Russian crime series of the same name.
Victorian England
In 2010, the movie "Wolf Man" (a remake of the horror film of the same name in 1941) was released. Not a very successful attempt, despite the abundance of stars: the Spanish Puerto Rican, who has long worked in Hollywood,
Benicio del Toro, the British
Emily Blunt and Sir Anthony Hopkins, as well as Hugo Weaving (a product of mechanical evil in the Matrix, agent Smith and the elf ruler in Jescon's sagas about Middle-earth). The picture tells about the tragic fate of the Englishman Lawrence Talbot, who returned in 1891 to
his native land after the death of his brother. This movie about wolves is worth a look to admire a gloomy exquisite picture depicting the good old Victorian England, and even because of the abovementioned magnificent actors. Sir Anthony shook antiquity and in the best traditions of Hannibal-cannibal portrayed the creepy head of the Talbot family, for which special thanks to him.
