We’ve been following Universal’s big blow-up over their remake of Wolfman quite a bit this week, mostly because NBC Universal got screwed by talented director Mark Romanek.

Mark left the project because of creative differences a mere three weeks before the Benicio Del Toro vehicle started shooting.

They were scrambling to find a director, but now Harry over at AICN seems to have heard that they’ve attached Bret Ratner, the crappiest possible decision (Paul W.S. Anderson and Uwe Boll are busy).

If you’ve watched any of Ratner’s films, you know the formula. The man just apes other people’s visual styles. Red Dragon looked like Hannibal, X3 looked like X2, Rush Hour looked like countless other Jackie Chan movies choppily melded with Money Talks – Ratner aping young Ratner.

We’re convinced the guy doesn’t have a genuinely creative bone in his body anymore. He’s skating by on his ability to imitate and he’s going to ruin Wolfman.

Mark our words.
