An American Werewolf in London Remake Coming from The Walking Dead Team
Back in August of this year, there was rampant speculation that Max Landis was penning a script for a remake of his father’s quintessential werewolf flick, An American Werewolf in London; and then things went quiet. Today all hell has broken loose!
Per Deadline, “The Walking Dead’s” David Alpert and Robert Kirkman are producing an AWIL remake through their Skybound Entertainment for Universal Pictures. The script is indeed being written by Max Landis, who is also attached to direct with his deal currently being negotiated. Also producing will be Todd Garner and Matt Smith, and John Landis will executive produce.
The news comes after the elder Landis and filmmaker Anthony Waller (An American Werewolf in Paris) sealed a deal with the studio on the rights.
Stay tuned for updates as they come!
