AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN ROME Movie Will Pay Tribute To AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON
Actor, writer, director, and producer Hunter G. Williams is looking to build on the An American Werewolf in London horror-comedy franchise with a new film titled An American Werewolf in Rome.
It’s explained that the film “will pay tribute to the classic 1981 film, while offering its own unique spin on the sub-genre.” The script is described as “a horror-comedy that serves as a love letter to the classic werewolf film while also showcases the epic history of Rome.”
Williams said in a statement, “Here, we’ve a chance to do something incredibly fun but also transport a postcard to Rome into the mailbox of every theater. Further, cinemagoers are ready for another werewolf film that successfully combines horror and humor. Hopefully, this silver bullet will be firing shortly.”
The film project is currently being shopped around. I love director John Landis’ original film and while I’m open to another American Werewolf film, unless it has the blessing of Landis and he’s involved in some way, it’s going to be a tough sell to the studios and fans.
This movie seems like it could be a cool concept, though. It’ll be interesting to see if the project actually ends up getting made.
