It appears Universal are taking no chances with their second stab at a
Wolfman movie after disappointing returns for Joe Johnston's effort last year. THR report that the new, still untitled movie will be heading straight to DVD/Blu-ray. This version began shooting in Bucharest, Romania today and will be directed by Louis Morneau, who previously helmed
Joy Ride II and
Hitcher II: I’ve Been Waiting. Should be great then eh!
Here is a synopsis..
"The movie amps up the action and the werewolf count with a tale set in an unnamed 19th century European village where a werewolf attack draws bounty hunters, thrill seekers and charlatans. A young man studying under a local doctor joins a team of bounty hunters but “it soon becomes clear that this creature is stronger, smarter and more dangerous than anything they have faced before. As casualties mount and villagers see their neighbors transformed into ravening monsters, the townsfolk take up arms against each other to find the true identity of the werewolf."
The full cast are: Stephen Rea (The Crying Game), Steven Bauer (Scarface), Ed Quinn (True Blood) and Nia Peeples (Pretty Little Liars), along with Guy Wilson, Adam Croasdell and Rachel DiPillo
The pic is aiming for a release on Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand in October 2012.
