WOLFMAN has a new director, Joe Johnston. Though this may not have been the most exciting of the contenders it really came down to finding a director who's ego would allow them to step into a film that already has a concept and direction of another director. Joe Johnston started out as an art director on among other things-EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and RETURN OF THE JEDI. His direction credits include HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS, THE ROCKETEER, JUMANJI, OCTOBER SKY, JURASSIC PARK III and HIDALGO. He really loves the old Universal Horror Films and most importantly he has a cast in place that really need no director, so I still think this will be a great movie.

Joe will do a good job. If you want more information on him, check his IMDB file. Empire is the best of the Star Wars and Raiders is a solid movie. I know a lot of that came from the writing and the actors, but you have to throw some credit Joe's way.
