Legendary six-time-Oscar-winning make-up artist Rick Baker joined stars Benicio Del Toro and Emily Blunt to bring us the first footage of Universal’s new version of The Wolfman. And it’s a period piece.

Highlights:

- The origins of the remake stem from Del Toro’s Lon Chaney Jr. fandom.

- It looks like “Francis Ford Coppola’s The Wolfman”

- Of course, Anthony Hopkins would be more welcome as Van Helsing again

- At least it will likely be R-rated, as it looks quite bloody

- Baker honors Stan Winston by labeling his death “the end of an era”

- Blunt is apparently into two-headed dudes
