Saying the castle is surrounded by surrounded by 23 packs of wolves is ridiculous. Though the German grey wolf numbers have begun to recover, they are a very skittish 1300 individuals in 41 packs that exist almost exclusively on unused areas of military bases. The story could have just as easily said surrounded by 32 flocks of song birds.

Came here to say that this story has a makings of a fun “based on actual events” docu-horror. Now I think it has the makings of a much more wholesome version, where the wolves end up being the displaced, misunderstood victims.

I don’t know…I think I might skip this one.
Isle of Dogs was okay, but didn’t have the magic of say, Moonrise Kingdom. And I might be the only one who didn’t really like Grand Budapest Hotel, which this new one sounds a bit too similar to.

From the photo alone Rheinsberg Palace clearly isn’t a 15th century moated castle but an 18th century palace, maybe built on the site of a 15th century maoted castle.
And you’re really not doing the great enlightenment philosopher king Frederick any favours by relating him to Hitler.

Weird, I’ve read all of Vonnegut’s books, but I don’t remember this one. They end up charming the wolves with music and escaping through the forest during a lunar eclipse, right?
