This may come as a shock to those with short memories, but not all summer blockbusters used to be about larger-than-life superheroes, rampaging robots, and radioactive lizards. (more…)

Believe it or not, there are werewolf movies other than “An American Werewolf in London”.
“WolfCop 2” greenlit weeks before “WolfCop” premiere
As reported by The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline, CineCoup has already approved a sequel to WolfCop, despite the fact that the public won’t get to see the first film until June 6th. After “unanimous positive” reactions to the from buyers at Cannes, the Canadian film company has scheduled a Fall 2014 shoot / early 2015 “worldwide” release, with Lowell Dean returning to direct.

Lance Polland’s “Werewolves In Heat” has Ron Jeremy, no Manischewitz
I recently received an email from Lance Polland, a filmmaker whose two most recent projects were Bloody Bloody Bible Camp (featuring “Sister Mary Chopper”) and Crack Whore (switchblade revenge against rapist hillbillies). His latest film is Werewolves In Heat, which he describes as “‘The Hangover’ meets ‘Werewolves on Wheels’ with a dash of ‘American Pie'”. (more…)
Is Robert Downey Jr. producing a werewolf movie? The answer is: maybe
Deadline reports that Susan Downey and her somewhat famous husband Robert will be producing “Cloaked”, a “supernatural horror comedy in the vein of An American Werewolf In London”. Dread Central has gone so far as to label the project “a werewolf tale”, but a comparison to AWIL doesn’t necessarily mean werewolves, Mickey Mouse figurines or a decomposing Griffin Dunne. (more…)

The guys in the band were so impressed with the effort and the results that they made it the official music video. I can see why! Great song, great video.
Extraterrestrial nonsense couldn’t derail Face Off’s “Cry Wolf”
When I heard that last Wednesday’s episode of Face Off was the conclusion of a two-episode competition involving vampires and werewolves, I had to take a look. What I saw puzzled me: alien werewolves. In “Cry Wolf”, the four remaining competitors were tasked with creating werewolves displaying “newly-evolved feature specifically designed to take their vampire rivals down”. They did something very similar a year ago. Is it a rule that every challenge on this show has to be hampered by the requirement that the creature be from another world? (more…)
Get a little WolfCop in your life / in your home / on your body
Every time the creators and filmmakers behind WolfCop come up with something new, I holler like a maniac and run in an excited circle. Friends, I’ve been hollering and circling all morning. Yesterday they launched a $10,000 Indiegogo campaign to “take WolfCop beyond the big screen”, and its centrepiece is a little WolfCop to call your own. (more…)
