Werewolf links, news, and reviews
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.
July is Werewolf Month at MonsterLibrarian.com. Werewolf Month– I like the sound of that! (more…)
It’s a shame that I have to introduce this movie to the site by posting bad news about it. According to its IMDB page, Jack and Diane, which was to star Juno‘s Ellen Page, is about two teen lesbians who…
…meet in New York City and spend the night kissing ferociously. Diane’s charming innocence quickly begins to open Jack’s tough skinned heart. But, when Jack discovers that Diane is leaving the country in a week she tries to push her away. Diane must struggle to keep their love alive while hiding the secret that her newly awakened sexual desire is giving her werewolf-like visions.
Sounds interesting, right? Unfortunately, due to lack of funding and Ellen Page’s desire to protect her career’s rising star from colliding with controversy, Jack and Diane has run into trouble.
Is nothing sacred? As reported by Bloody Disgusting and others, John Landis, director of American Werewolf In London, confirmed at HorrorHound that he would be open to doing a remake of his classic 1980s werewolf film. Landis owns the rights to AWIL, and is apparently “in talks” with people to resurrect David, Jack and Nurse Price. I don’t know about you, but I think that’s a terrible idea. What do you think? Should AWIL be “re-imagined” for 21st century audiences? Post your opinions in the comments.
You may have seen this trailer for a werewolf movie called Night Hunger floating around on YouTube recently. Grainy, scratchy film stock, wooden voice-overs, actors who all sound constipated, budget werewolf effects, buckets of gore– this has got to be a trailer for a trashy 1970’s grindhouse flick, right? Wrong.
John Landis has confirmed that the legendary film American Werewolf in London, which he directed, will be released on Sony’s Blue-ray format sometime in 2009.
Comic Book Resources has posted a few pages from June 16th’s double-sized issue of Moon Knight #20, in which Moon Knight brawls with… wait for it… Werewolf By Night!
From Comic Book Resource’s article:
Award winning television writer Mike Benson (Entourage) pits Moon Knight against an opponent fueled by instinct and rage…Werewolf by Night! With visually striking interiors from fan-favorite artist, Mike Deodato (Amazing Spider-Man, New Avengers, Thunderbolts), Moon Knight will have to release his inner demons and become what he faces if he hopes to survive against Werewolf by Night!
Hey, everyone. Sorry for the silence over the past few days. I had some personal things to deal with, and connecting flights hither and yon. I’m back now, and the werewolf news will start flowing again shortly. Thanks for visiting!
