Female Werewolf needles in a haystack

There's just ultimately no way the remake will stack up to the original, solely for that fact.

This is likely to be true, since Universal (I assume it will be the same studio that released the original) basically sent Rick Baker into early retirement because of his treatment during the making of The Wolfman (2010) and their trashing of the practical effects for the Thing remake and replacing them with CG.
