Audie & The Wolf – A Werewolf Movie in Reverse?

We all know how werewolves work. Take a human, and turn him (or her) into a wolf-like creature. But what if the reverse happened, and a wolf woke up one morning as an amnesiac human with a craving for lots and lots of flesh? It’s a concept that’s been tossed around before, but Audie & The Wolf, a film by Brooklyn Reptyle Productions, looks like a fresh take on the idea. Black humour, gore, a Satanist villain named Jim and a grinning reverse-werewolf with a chainsaw? Yes.

Watch the trailer below, visit the official web site, or check out the Fangoria interview with director Brian Scott O’Malley for more info and some exclusive photos.

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans – Photos and Interview

Rhona Mitra in Underworld 3

FirstShowing.net has got some great photos of Rhona Mitra, the werewolf death-dealer in Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Sorry, no werewolf photos yet, but according to this MoviesOnline interview with director Patrick Tatopoulos, the film’ story is seen “from the eyes of the werewolf. We are not seeing it from the eyes of the vampires anymore.” Sounds promising!

Interview with Brenton Spencer, Director of Never Cry Werewolf

If you just can’t get enough of Never Cry Werewolf (and Google Analytics says most of you can’t), horroryearbook.com has a brief interview with the film’s director, Brenton Spencer. The interview is largely biographical, with few anecdotes or comments about actual film making, but Spencer does have this to say about selecting an actor to wear a werewolf costume:

If I’ve learned anything in my career it is this; If you are looking to put someone in a Werewolf costume, or any creature costume, use an actor, use an athlete, use a stunt man, but don’t ever use a classical ballet dancer. A grande jette is just not scary!

Thanks for that, Spencer!

Beware the Moon – Remembering An American Werewolf in London

An American Werewolf In LondonArguably the best and most famous werewolf movie of the 20th century is An American Werewolf In London. AWIL had it all: great horror, black humour, a killer soundtrack, and the best werewolf transformation scene ever committed to film. Now, over 25 years after AWIL was released, filmmaker Paul Davis is getting ready to release Beware the Moon – Remembering An American Werewolf in London, a feature-length documentary on the making of the classic werewolf movie.

Toby Barlow Interview

Mother Jones magazine has an interview with Toby Barlow, author of the fantastic free-verse werewolf novel Sharp Teeth (I’m halfway through my copy, and I strongly recommend it). The interview focuses pretty heavily on the dynamic of human / animal interaction and the potential benefits of a wolf-pack structure in human society.

I think human beings have all these tools for social connection, which should bring us together but instead causes all sorts of confusion and discombobulation. With dogs, they’re either fighting or they’re falling asleep on one another’s necks. It’s a much simpler form of community that they’ve come up with. I agree, people are oftentimes very self-congratulatory about the civilization we’ve built around us, when in fact lying at our feet are much simpler and more satisfied societies.
