In a story from
Bloody-Disgusting it seems that John Landis, the man who created the franchise, has apparently sold off the rights to a remake of
An American Werewolf in London to Dimension Films.
The studio has picked up the rights from Landis. Overture executives-turned-producers Sean and Bryan Furst are on board to produce.
In the original film two American tourists in England are attacked by a werewolf that none of the locals will admit exists.

FIRST OF THE ORIGINAL CANNOT BE TOUCHED, THOUGH THEY TRIED WITH AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN PARIS, REMEMBER THAT ONE FOLKS?

HOW BOUT THIS HOLLYWOOD, IM JUST THROWING IT OUT THERE, HOW BOUT MAKING A JAMAICAN WEREWOLF IN MEXICO...LOL,JK I KNOW ITS STUPID...BUT THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING ...U NEVER KNOW IF THEY GET THAT STUPID :]
I remember now I was 10 at the time.
I don't know the year Howling was made in but I'll find out right away.
But Howling was an average faired werewolf film, the first was good, what came after, the first, were awful.
American Werewolf In London, revolutionised the werewolf genre because it was the first werewolf film were we see a human go from human form to werewolf form on-screen, thanks to the awesome effects of Rick Baker.
I agree, the_gray.
Although The Wolfman ain't from my childhood, i watched the film many a times and loved it, and was pretty annoyed when i heard the announciation of the remake.
But when the names of the cast and crew started coming out, i realised that this film is in very good hands and looks to stand as the most successful remake yet for a fan's perspective point of view and i hope profit wise.
In fact i think that 'The Wolfman' is the only remake i'm anticipating, lol with a cast like Benico Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins and last but not least Rick Baker as SFX designer, what ain't there to look forward to with this remake?
They are taking remakes too far now, ok this could be done with better CGI, but this is a classic.
Its like the jaws of all werewolf movies
