Articles and screencaps related to B&C.

First of all, here are a couple screencaps to clips from Blood & Chocolate. The link to all of them can be found at the director's site under the updates or trailer section.

There are also two articles relating to, of all things, wolves. The first one comes from WENN.

British actor Hugh Dancy put his life in the hands of a Romanian wolf trainer while shooting new movie Blood & Chocolate in Bucharest - because he was at the mercy of hungry beasts during some hair-raising scenes. The young actor plays a comic book writer on the run from werewolves in the new movie, and literally had to be thrown to real-life wolves for many of his scenes.

He explains, "I had them thrown at my head and I wrestled with them. Basically, the way these wolves are persuaded to put in a good day's work is they come in the morning pretty hungry and then somebody puts pieces of steak about the person, that's me, and they set the wolves on you. There are certain wolf guards in place, but it was up close and personal. They'd put the steaks on my shoulders. It's really weird. There's a man standing on a platform about to throw a wolf at you from behind the camera across the room, and you're basically thinking, 'I mustn't let this steak fall off my shoulder.' You wouldn't think it would be a worry balancing the little appetiser on your shoulder but it is."

But Dancy admits he spent hours with the wolves before the attack scenes, and felt completely safe when it came time to wrestle them. He adds, "I didn't feel any danger except for the instinctive irrational fear of a very powerful animal that could tear you to pieces."

There's also another one from Contact Music.

Other crews get personalized baseball hats or signed tees for wrap gifts. Hugh Dancy got a wolf. To explain: Hugh Dancy and Olivier Martinez had just finished shooting werewolf movie Blood and Chocolate.

The film producers, in what probably seemed like a good idea at the time, adopted a whole pack of wolves in Romania, where the movie was being filmed. When the movie wrapped, producers gave Hugh, Olivier (shown below) and most of the rest of the cast their very own wild animal.

Because...because that probably seemed like a good idea at the time, too.

Dancy says: "It was a gift from one of the producers to each of us. He adopted a wolf on our behalf. I suppose I am now the adoptive father of a wolf. I suppose I should probably go about thinking of a name (for my wolf)."
