Read this at scifi.com--how sweet! I'll go see the movie just because of this!
Real Romanian wolves were used in the filming of the upcoming werewolf romance film Blood and Chocolate, and after production, many of the cast and crew received "adoption papers" for the wild animals, who were subsequently moved to a nature reserve in Wyoming. "I got this gift certificate that I adopted a wolf at the end of the shoot, but there's no continuing communication with it," star Agnes Bruckner (Venom) said with a laugh. She plays a reluctant werewolf who falls in love with a human (King Arthur's Hugh Dancy). "I hope my wolf is all right."
The producers of the movie, which was shot in Romania, sponsored a wolf adoption for each of the cast and major crew members. The animals are not protected under Romanian law.
Olivier Martinez plays the leader of a werewolf pack, to whom Bruckner's character is betrothed. Martinez said in an interview that his adoption certificate was one of the more unusual presents he has ever received after wrapping a film. "It was a wolf adopted in my name, so there is a wolf running around in America called 'Olivier,'" Martinez said. "In Romania, the wolves are not protected. They don't care about them, because there are plenty. In America you have to take care of them, because they will go extinct."
Awwww :-)
