“BER” or “PURR” months season: "Night's were made for...full moons, cemetery strolls, thunderstorms, fairy tales with french kisses and dark, handsome man, who know when to be gentle & when to awaken their big bad wolf." /Ann Marie Eleazer/
The film is not for children, nor for young teenagers. 16 + is worth watching this classic as Joker becomes a wolf. Someone will spot a Tim Burton's adorable Cat woman or Stardust's witch, who wanted a star for her youth to come back. One of my favorite films. Wolf is a 1994 American romantic horror film directed by Mike Nichols and starring Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, James Spader, Kate Nelligan, Richard Jenkins, Christopher Plummer, Eileen Atkins, David Hyde Pierce, and Om Puri. It was written by Jim Harrison and Wesley Strick, and an uncredited Elaine May. The music was composed by Ennio Morricone and the cinematography was done by Giuseppe Rotunno. Filming took place in New York City, Long Island, and Los Angeles. The exteriors for Raymond Alden's country mansion were filmed at Old Westbury Gardens in Nassau County, New York. Will Randall's publishing offices are in the Bradbury Building in downtown Los Angeles, a location frequently used in movies. The film was shot from early April to late July in 1993. Its release was delayed for six to eight months, in order to reshoot the poorly received ending. The wolves were professionally trained by employees from Thousand Oaks, California's Animal Actors of Hollywood and Palmdale, California's Performing Animal Troupe. Wolf won a Saturn Award for Best Writing for Jim Harrison and Wesley Strick's screenplay, and it was nominated for a further 5 Saturn Awards, in the categories of Best Horror Film, Best Actor (Jack Nicholson), Best Actress (Michelle Pfeiffer), Best Supporting Actor (James Spader) and Best Make-up (Rick Baker). Ennio Morricone was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition Written for a Motion Picture or for Television.
