Having been involved in a contemporary werewolf horror/comedy for the past couple of years myself, I’ve kept an elevated schooner to the door of many offices of those also in the same game. One of those pine exteriors belongs to the Weinstein’s who, for a while now, have been toying with the idea of doing an “American Werewolf in London” remake, sequel, prequel… what have you. Personally, I don’t… or should I say, didn’t… think it would ever come to fruition though. A lone tear slides down my cherub cheek.

According to our friends at Bloody Disgusting, there is indeed a Bad Moon Rising. Again.

Landis tells the site, ‘’Dimension is now in negotiation for the ‘An American Werewolf in London’ remake rights. Perhaps someone will make a brilliant movie out of it”.

Um, someone already made a brilliant movie out of it – YOU John.

Meanwhile, Landis says he’s just supervised a Blu-ray transfer of the original
(and dare I say, best – I mean, c’mon, it’s the Weinstein’s!) original, and it looks sweeter than corn syrup!

‘’I was afraid the digital cleaning of the negative would result in too clear a picture and hurt Rick Baker’s make-up, when in fact the incredibly crisp detail actually makes Rick stuff look even better!”, says the amiable filmmaker.
