Joe Johnston‘s remake of The Wolfman won’t be arriving in theaters until next year, but why wait ’til then to get a look at Benicio del Toro in all that makeup?

Renowned makeup artist Rick Baker — most recently known as “the reason Norbit got an Oscar nomination” — sat down for a chat with Entertainment Weekly recently, and he was kind enough to bring a pair of stills to give folks an idea of what to expect when the remake shows its claws. Observe:

Not bad, eh?

As it turns out, Baker’s an entertaining interviewee, even without the stills — he held forth on a number of Wolfman-related topics, including the challenges of turning his leading man into a werewolf (“he’s practically the Wolfman already”) to the toughest projects he’s ever worked on (“I had to turn Eddie Murphy into a believable old Chinese man”).
