“There Wolf” is terrific. Classic and self-aware – can’t wait to see where it’s going.

That’s a great idea! Considering actual grindhouse movies were often disjointed and full of stock fottage and filler, he might even be able to fill out a full length one.

That’s a fantastic image. Love to see pictures of werewolves engaged in ordinary behavior.

I once read that Zombie shot an insane amount of footage — well over 30 minutes by some estimates — which he then boiled down to what we saw in the trailer. Even if he doesn’t want to flesh the story out to feature length, at the very least he could take the material he already has in the can and fashion it into a short, no matter how disjointed the end result might be.

The practical effects in this movie where great. The actual scene these guys are from (well theres two, but there mainly from the coven attack) is truly the best action sequence in the whole series imo (no shaky cam, you can actually see the lycans kicking vampire butt for once) Using cgi on the skinny guys is understandable (and it didn’t look that bad) the uber lycan on the other hand… not so much.
The first few minutes of this movie was terrific. It was dramatic, it wasn’t flashy,it was engaging and there was no involvement with selene or hybrids. Werewolves and vampires and being killed by humans (like some brutal stuff, dragging vampires out into the sun) This is the set up to a good movie. What if your roommate or family member was a werewolf/vamp, would you just let them be killed, do they even deserve to die? well I don’t know because underworld never explains if they are evil, outside of caring for their own race. We never see a day in the life of one, their feeding habits or a human turning into one, and no Micheal doesn’t count. And then a few minutes later… Selene is back and that entire concept is thrown out the window and we get more of the same (hybrids, boss lycan,)

Well, actual wolves only run about 75-90lbs, so something half human and half wolf would logically be smaller than the average human.

I wholeheartedly agree, Andrew. Practical effects are awesome. I wish filmmakers would trust them more instead of relying on the crutch that is CGI. Of course, this would require more creativity at the writing stage and for them to gear the action more toward what can be done on the soundstage (which, as this featurette shows, is quite a lot).

Looks like they’ve softened the extreme boxy/angular look Tatopoulos likes in his designs – this version looks much more organic and less stylized. I’ve got to admit, the Underworld movies aren’t great cinema but I really like their visual take on werewolves. The way they build up the neck and shoulders and those dead black shark eyes are nice stylistic touches.

I actually rather like the visual design of the Underworld werewolves. The short face makes sense to me as something that fits the idea that these are creatures HALFWAY between men and wolves, the snout is shorter than wolves, but longer than humans. And of course they would look like baboons, isn’t that sort of a great way to describe a baboon’s look? A human face with a wolfish snout and huge fangs attached ;)

Cursed werewolf – good. american werewolf – good. Bad moon werewolf – good. latest howling werewolf – good. Werewolves with bald shiny skin and cat faces that look about five feet tall – shit. What sort of werewolf has WINGS anyway?
