After four months of shooting The Wolfman
in London, Benicio will be on vacation starting
next Monday when the filming will wrap.
Benicio will complete the recordings that day
and will then return to the United States.
Benicio recorded virtually every day in the
last four months, since he appears in most scenes.
It is unknown how long his vaction is going to last
though, since it could become necessary that he
return to London to repeat scenes or for
the process of voice dubbing.

According to Mike Tiley, an extra who worked on
The Wolfman, actor Anthony Sher is part of the cast
in the film. Mr. Tiley talks about his experience on the set:
"[I play] the part of [a] learned medical doctor of the 1890s
complete with morning coat, striped trousers, waistcoat
and top hat, starring... and Anthony Sher. Anthony Sher (or
at least his stunt man) had a 'sticky end' by being thrown
through a second floor window by the Wolfman onto some
spiked railings below, which was filmed as part of our
'night shoot' at the Royal Naval College."
