  He plays the character of Sir John Talbot the father of Lawrence Talbot (played by Benicio del Toro). Sir John is a man who lives in this vast house up in the Midlands of England and he is a rather eccentric, isolated man who nobody gets to know. Nobody gets near him. He seems, on the surface, to be quite harmless. He is just a little odd. He lives in this old rambling house with a big dog and servant and that's all. Then other things develop.

• Emily Blunt as Gwen

  English actress Emily Blunt first broke through with 2004's My Summer of Love. The following year she co-starred with Bill Nighy and Miranda Richardson in the British TV drama Gideon's Daughter, and in 2006 earned international renown for her performance in the box-office hit The Devil Wears Prada. This year she starred as eponymous queen in The Young Victoria, directed by Jean-Marc Vallée and written by Julian Fellowes, and in 2010 will appear with Jack Black in Gulliver's Travels and with Matt Damon in The Adjustment Bureau…

  She is the love interest but she is really the picture of purity and she's the only person who is willing to extend her hand to Lawrence Talbot (played by Benicio del Toro) as he is going through this horrific ordeal. Gwen Conliff honestly doesn't believe that it could be real until the end. She doesn't believe the fears he is having are true. She believes in seeing the best in everyone and it is a rather taboo relationship she is having with Lawrence, because she was engaged to his dead brother.
