Johnston Directs Wolf Man?

Harry from AICN, is reporting that the third director that was in line to direct the Wolf Man remake, John Johnston is snaged it.

Hey folks, Harry here… As I’m watching the New York Giants desperately
trying to fuck the Patriots’ dreams of history… I get a call from a source
inside Universal Studios that laid on me… the director of THE WOLF MAN. Damn
that catch was amazing! Oh, sorry… WOLF MAN. The director is long time genre
film lover – JOE JOHNSTON.

Now – Joe Johnston is the man that designed Boba Fett. Art
director on EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and RETURN OF THE JEDI.
And the director of HONYE, I SHRUNK THE KIDS, THE ROCKETEER, THE PAGEMASTER,
JUMANJI, OCTOBER SKY (a film I love so much), JURASSIC PARK III and
HIDALGO.

Impressive, he directed the movies from my childhood. Well, this is his opportunity to shine, with a genre he hasn’t tackle with before or crash and burn.
