Universal Chief Calls ‘The Wolfman’ “One of the Worst Movies [They] Ever Made”!
This is some really juicy stuff that comes via Movieline. The site reports on Universal Chief Ron Meyer‘s recent trip to Savannah College of Art & Design where he spoke to students on VOD, while also admitting that Cowboys & Aliens, Land of the Lost and The Wolfman all suck ass!
“We make a lot of shitty movies. Every one of them breaks my heart,” Meyer said. “We set out to make good ones. One of the worst movies we ever made was ‘Wolfman.’ ‘Wolfman’ and ‘Babe 2’ are two of the shittiest movies we put out, but by the same token we made movies we believe in,” he states quickly covering his ass. “We did ‘United 93,’ which is one of the movies I’m most proud of. It wasn’t a big moneymaker, but it’s a film I believe every American should see and it showed you what people can do in the worst of times and how great the human spirit is and all that, so there are moments that can make up for all the junk that you make.”
