An American Werewolf…Again

Here to rip out even more favorite eighties movies is Dimension Films who are ready to snatch up the rights to the John Landis film, An American Werewolf In London. Originally a cult classic that spawned in 1981, the original centered around two American backpackers (played by David Naughton and Griffin Dunne) hiking in the Yorkshire moors attacked by a mysterious animal who turns out to be a werewolf. Naughton ends up terrorizing London while Dunne is a reanimated corpse suggesting ways for Naughton to kill himself and stop the curse (THR).

"Another remake!? It hurtsssss."

Since this news is so ridiculously fresh right now, and barely is starting to get into development, there is nobody attached to write or direct the horror film. With the huge intake of horror remakes that have already been released (Friday the 13th) to ones that are still being made at the moment (Hellraiser) this continuing trend will not blow off any steam anytime soon, unless a huge burst of creativity suddenly pops onto the scene.
