As reported on his blog and discussed by myriadothersources, Rob Zombie is planning a comic series based on Werewolf Women of the S.S., one of the trailers-for-fake-movies that ran with Grindhouse. There’s no other information available at the moment —no release date, publisher or artist— but as soon as that info becomes available, you know we’ll post it here schnell. Oh, and if you’d like to see the original (probably NSFW) trailer, here you go.
If you’re lucky enough to be attending the San Diego Comic-Con on Friday the 25th, check out Hall H at 2:00 PM for a sneak peak at footage from The Wolfman, and a presentation from the film’s official werewolf-creator and special effects god, Rick Baker. From the SDCC site:
For its upcoming action-horror film The Wolfman, Universal will showcase new footage and a presentation from the title monster’s creator, six-time Oscar-winning special effects artist Rick Baker.
If you’re a fan of the short-lived TV series Wolf Lake, you might want to get your DVR ready– SciFi is running a Wolf Lake marathon through July and into August. Starting July 16th, they’ll be showing every episode of the first (and only) season! Follow the Read More link for a full schedule, courtesy of ArcLight.
CHUD.com’s Jon Abrams waxes philisophical in a fantastic essay about why werewolf movies basically stink. He suggests (rightly, in my opinion) that while every genre, sub-genre and niche in film has its diamonds in the rough, werewolf movies are fundamentally lacking.
Every major strain of genre filmmaking, whether it be the war movie or the alien invasion/science fiction movie, the time travel movie or the samurai movie, the Western or the boxing movie or the comic book movie or the vampire movie – all these have their few-and-far-between classics that make sitting through all the more inferior efforts worthwhile. The exception is the werewolf movie.
If you’re a fan of werewolf special effects, you’re probably familiar with Alex CF’s super-detailed lycanthrope research case– I mentioned it back in April, and it’s still pretty much the coolest piece of three-dimensional art I’ve seen. Apparently a lot of other people dug it too, because he’s made another one.
Visit Alex’s site for more pictures, and for an excellent (and lengthy) video tour of the kit’s components. This man is all about detail.
