Remake of “American Werewolf”

The latest in remake news is that John Landis’ 1981 film AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON has been acquired by Dimension Films. It was Bloody-Disgusting.com that broke the big scoop this weekend and now it’s being confirmed. Landis has also been attached as executive producer on the project and is likely to be a consultant too.

Bloody did have a Landis quote, he explains the project is in negotiations.

“Brad – Yes, Dimension is now in negotiation for the ‘An American Werewolf in London’ remake rights. Perhaps someone will make a brilliant movie out of it,”

Keeping Landis involved in the remake would calm my doubts some, but AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON still holds up good in my book. As always, only time will tell.
