It always saddens me to see wolves portrayed like that. Looks like it's worth a watch, but it won't help peoples view of wolves as they leave the theatre.

Oh great. There goes any chance of reastiblishing wolves in former parts of their range (assuming it would be appropriate to do it). Another setback to conservation in the name of entertainment.:(

Rest assured, wolf introduction or protection is based on more solid arguments than a hollywood movie.;)

For a true story about a predatory wolf you should see the "man eating Wolves of Gysinge" which is about an incident in Sweden in the 1820's when a wolf killed several children in the village of Gysinge. The irony of the story is that the wolf was so dangerous not because it was wild, but because it had been raised as a pet and then let loose, so had no fear of man. Personally I'd sooner face a wolf than some of these pit bulls and mastiffs that seem so popular these days.

I have heard many scary stories about wolves from Eastern Europe.

Like lions, they seem to be rather whitewashed these days

That's one way to demonise wolves.
I don't see that as being natural behaviour.

Thats exactly what I thought when I saw the trailer. Peter Benchley the author of Jaws spent most of the rest of his life trying to debunk the notion of the 'killer shark'

Bill Mason's 'Cry of The Wild' is an excellent documentary on Wolves:

http://www.nfb.ca/film/cry_of_the_wild

This feature-length documentary from Bill Mason imparts his affection for the big northern timber wolves and the pure-white Arctic wolves. Filmed over three years in the Northwest Territories, British Columbia, the High Arctic and his home near the Gatineau Hills in Quebec, Mason sets out to dispel the myth of the bloodthirsty wolf. Going beyond the wolf's natural habitat, Mason relocated three young wolves to his own property and was able to film tribal customs, mating and birth. As a result, Cry of the Wild offers viewers access to moments in wildlife never before seen on film.
