Universal Pictures Making a New Wolfman movie called WEREWOLF

It's being reported that Universal Pictures is going into development on a new Wolfman film called Werewolf, and it will in no way be associated with the previous Wolfman film, which as you all know was incredibly terrible. Instead of making a sequel to that film, the studio decided to pretty much start over from scratch and create an original film based on the classic monster, which isn't a bad idea. According to the source, this film will share a link to the original George Waggner film from 1941.

The studio has also hired director Louis Morneau to take on the horror film project. Morneau is credited for making strait to DVD horror films such as Joy Ride 2 : Dead Ahead, The Hitcher II : I’ve Been Waiting, Bats with Lou Diamond Phillips, and Retroactive with Jim Belushi. I haven't seen any of these films so I don't know if Morneau is a good director or not. 

Casting is about to get underway, and the studio is looking to get it into production in the fall. It will be interesting to see how this turns out.
