Gene Simmons In A Movie…with Oscar Winners!
Filed under: Film Flickers > Z List
The man loves the sound of his own voice, and now he's pushing it on us!
Gene Simmons has signed on to voice the title character in the upcoming animated flick The Wolf Man.
We don't know how he pulled if off because the film also stars Anthony Hopkins and Benecio Del Toro!
It almost seems legit!
Plus, he's fulfilling a childhood dream in the process.
"The original Wolfman starred Lon Chaney Jr., son of the legendary Lon Chaney Sr. Chaney Sr. was called Man Of 1,000 Faces, and for me was a pivotal figure in my childhood," explained Simmons. "So much so, that I wrote a song called Man of 1,000 Faces on my 1978 solo album, and my production company was also called Man of 1,000 Faces in homage to Chaney."
No one cares!
He was also offered a role in M. Night Shyamalan's latest animated project!
How does Simmons get so lucky?!

first
im guessing he used his tongue to get his way……………….
wrong movie dude…that WOLFMAN is not animated…it is love action and it just got it's release date moved.
Uhm….get your facts straight, Mario.
It's not an animated film.
Gene is the legendary Man of 1000 Faces of different women.
I'm pretty sure the movie you're talking about it Live Action, not Animated. I saw the trailer with Inglourious Basterds this morning.
talk about walking d-bag
I just saw a preview for the "Wolf Man" and it isn't animated…?????
Mario must have ate the mushrooms. Misinformation at it's finest.
I don't think it's luck, the guy works like crazy! He's gotta be one of the hardest working guys in show biz…hustle, hustle, hustle!
ur confusing 2 different movies idiot ,
He gets so lucky because his voice is right for the part.
I don't think he is lucky… He just believes in himself soooooo much, that failure doesn't occur to him, and he will put his face on just about anything…..
His hair is scary
I FREAKN LOVE HIM GOSH GIVE IT TO HIM ALREADY HE'S FREAKN TALENTED.
Like Rev Run, Gene got his family show. And even though I have never been a fan of KISS, I love the way him and Shannon are such a close, ever watchful, always supportive, parents to their son and daughter. Gene is THA MAN, WITH A REP, however, he lets his kids and his Shannon make fun of him, tease him, and he's not afraid to expose his weak sides. Nor Shannon. One of their recent episodes, centered around Sophie having a sleepover with like 5 girlfriends. One of them is a damn hootchie and took off w/5 stranger guys. Sophie begged her not to go, but hootchie was hot to trot. Sophie and the rest of the girls went to sleep and a few hours later, hootchie is calling her, crying hysterically, asking her to come get her, cuz the dudes left her abandoned. Sophie and friends, snuck out, took her dad's ride, and went to get her. Gene, went to check in, and there are no girls anywhere and Sophie's laptop is open with directions to the place she's going. So he jumps in her car, and goes there. He gets there and first thing, Hootchie comes up to him crying like crazy, then the rest of the girls and sophie see him with her. And they're scared. But he was soooo damn cool. He took them out to eat (it's like 2-3am) made her friends laugh, and told his daughter "you should have told me, I would have helped you"
I've always appreciated Gene's speaking voice. He could have a really lucrative career doing nothing else but voice overs/ads. Seriously.
the movie is not animated retard, just watched the trailer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is soooooo overrated!
What a tool!!!
"The Wolfman" is live action you dolt! Check yer facts!!
Gene Simmons is awesome. He works hard for what he has accomplished and gives to many charities. He's a loving father and Unhusband to Shannon. I think you just fucking jealous.
Re: Muhahahaha – Hi, Nick.
SOOOO SICK OF THIS SEXIST!!!
I've never been a KISS fan, but one night I watched an episode of Family Jewels. It was a marathon, so here came another. Before long I was absolutely impressed with the whole deal. Gene is an egomaniac, no doubt. But he's done well by his family, he's not a druggie or a drunk, and beneath the veneer he's as real as they get.
He's got talent and business acumen. Purrezz has his mommy clean up after Teddy and his sister write his blog, while he does nothing more than breathe. I'll take Gene, anytime.
this movie is NOT animated.
seriously, how can someone whose sole real job is to blog about hollywood get something so simple so wrong?!
u sound shocked u idiot.
If you did your homework ya wouldve known Gene was in a legit film back in like 1984. Wasnt the greatest movie but had Tom Selleck (or T-Sell using your stupid nicknames) when he was Alist.
Re: cdv –
That movie was RUNAWAY, and it's not the only movie Gene has been in. Check is IMDB page, he's done may movies, and voiceovers for films.
And fatass, it's not animated, how dumb can you be that you get even that wrong?
GENE IS A GOD!!!! you are so fucking jealous!
I actually kind of like this guy when I started watching family jewels. Yeah, he's kinda arrogant, but there are worse stars out there.
Ha ha ha, I use the Secret! Perez, you are so funny. I love your sense of humor!
Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
Doing the werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen
Doing the werewolves of London
None of you stupid kids even get that.
Mario, please stop trying to bash Gene Simmons one of the most successful music entrepreneurs of all time.. He has earned hundred of millions of dollars and is a pretty nice guy IRL… He has more talent in his fingernail that you will even have in your whole body! The man is NOT lucky, he is a hard working, shrewd, calculating business tycoon, who believes failure is NOT an option.
gene simmons isnt lucky.. hes a good actor! watch the tom selleck movie "runaway." he is the bad guy.
the benicio del toro version is NOT animated, perez. PLEASE check your facts!!! maybe its a different version
his hair is looks terrible same like he is. Dont light a cigarette next to him
Who is he anyway?
Re: moxiecrimefighter – Warren Zevon - ahhwoooo!!
It's BENICIO you fucking moron!
Gene Simmons is one ugly dude! He actually looks better with the makeup!
gene simmons gets so lucky because he's incredibly talented.
lets see perez, bc gene simmons, is an very smart business man, unlike yourself. he owns rights to the KISS name, and alot more companies, stop hating bc he didn't like your american idol boy - who by the way has been like no where to be seen. gene simmons rocks, has more money than you will ever have, more common sense all the way around than you will ever have, two beautiful children, a wonder partner in life - to me it sounds like you are JEALOUS! get over it
That movie is NOT ANIMATED. Just saw the preview, it's an actual movie.
