Another Werewolf In London
|
Dimension Films has secured the rights to remake director John Landis’ infamous 1981 black comedy horror An American Werewolf In London. Landis will serve as executive producer on the project. According to The Hollywood Reporter, "No writer or director is on board but Dimension and the producers hope to make an elevated genre picture that will keep the fun comedy elements of the original as it seeks to be relevant to contemporary audiences." Dimension is making a name for itself relaunching old horror franchises. It will release Halloween II in August and is also developing a remake of Hellraiser. |
Crap.
Did AWIP not teach them to leave alone?
Pathetic... American Werewolf in Paris was precisely the kind of self referential, smirking, stupid piece of crap that remakes often are. The fact that they have no writer or director yet suggests to me that this is studio and money man led. This is no-ones labour of love.
Either do the remake justice by keeping all the stuff that made the old one great, or forget it.

No. I don't think it will. Surely they should have learned by now.
Cult classics are just that,and the studios should respect that.

And I am filled with dread on what kind of crap they will put in the film, as they said:
"...as it seeks to be relevant to contemporary audiences"
(What ever THAT means)
