A little while ago, it was revealed that rather than the originally planned straight to DVD sequel,
The Wolfman (released in 2010, and directed by
Captain America: The First Avenger's Joe Johnston) would instead be receiving the reboot treatment.
Writer Michael Tabb has reworked the script for Universal into an original, stand-alone picture and
Moviehole now exclusively report that the movie, set to be titled
Werewolf, has found a director in the form of Louis Morneau. Casting is also expected to begin soon.
Morneau’s previous credits include
Joy Ride 2 : Dead Ahead,
The Hitcher II : I’ve Been Waiting,
Bats and
Retroactive. Yeah...I'm guessing this is probably still going to heading straight to DVD then. Apparently, the tone of the movie will have more in common with the original 1941 George Waggner film rather than the critically panned effort from the 2009 remake.
