Gene Simmons has issued the following update:

"Recently was proud to have been asked to come in and do the "howling" voice for Universal's The Wolfman, starring Benicio Del Toro and Anthony Hopkins. What I saw looked terrific. The movie is having some special effects added.

The original Universal Wolfman starred Lon Chaney Jr (born Creighton Tull Jr)... son of the legendary Lon Chaney Sr. Chaney Sr was called Man Of 1,000 Faces and for me, was a pivotal figure in my childhood. So much so, that I wrote a song called 'Man Of 1,000 Faces' on my 1978 solo album, and my production company (which signed VAN HALEN, when I found 'em in a club and other artists) was also called Man Of 1,000 Faces... in homage to Chaney.

Yesterday, I went up to Vox, where I was asked to do the voice of the Dragon Spirit in M Night Shyamalan's forthcoming Airbender movie. This may or may not come to fruition. We'll see."
