Universal Pictures has pushed back the release of potential horror franchise The Wolf Man from April 3 to Nov. 6 and pushed Ridley Scott's Nottingham out of 2009 altogether.

According to Variety, Universal Pictures has also pushed up the release date for The Fast and the Furious 4 which will now open on April 3, instead of June 12.

Nottingham, toplining Russell Crowe, will open in 2010, but Universal did not set a specific date.

Univeral said the reshuffling was the sensible thing to do, considering that The Fast and the Furious 4 is completed, while the Brian Grazer-produced Nottingham won't start lensing until February or March.

And moving The Wolf Man -- a reboot toplining Benicio Del Toro -- to Nov. 6 gives the film more of a high-profile release, as well as ample time for post-production. The film is directed by Joe Johnston.

The Wolfman was released February 12th, 2010 and stars Simon Merrells, Gemma Whelan, Emily Blunt, Benicio Del Toro, Mario Marin-Borquez, Asa Butterfield, Cristina Contes, Anthony Hopkins. The film is directed by Joe Johnston.

Robin Hood was released May 14th, 2010 and stars Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Max von Sydow, William Hurt, Mark Strong, Oscar Isaac, Danny Huston, Eileen Atkins. The film is directed by Ridley Scott.
