“At the top of the world, there’s a job only a few would dare. Last season the dash for the cash was fought on the smooth playing field of Canada’s Arctic ice.

Two investigators set out to solve the mystery. Applying modern day forensics, they hunt to uncover the real wolf man.”

With the Universal remake of one of its classic monsters you can expect to see a lot of related material come out of the woodwork to capitalize on the buzz. Unfortunately, the remake of The Wolf Man pretty much tanked, plagued more by too many internal problems than the full moon.
