John Landis’s werewolf masterpiece, An American Werewolf took us to London forty years ago, then a werewolf bared its teeth in Paris in 1997, now a new beast is on the prowl, this time, in Rome.
From actor, writer, director, and producer Hunter G.Williams (pictured), An American Werewolf in Rome will pay tribute to the classic 1981 film while offering its own unique spin on the lycanthrope sub-genre.
Currently being shopped, the script is described as a horror-comedy that serves as a love letter to the classic werewolf film while also showcases the epic history of Rome.
Here, we’ve a chance to do something incredibly fun but also transport a postcard to Rome into the mailbox of every theater. Further, cinemagoers are ready for another werewolf film that successfully combines horror and humour. Hopefully this silver bullet will be firing shortly.” Williams states.
Williams’ longtime producing partner, Justin Chien, and longtime collaborator, Nadia Lanfranconi will produce.
Williams’ most recent script The Madness Within (review) resulted in a critically acclaimed 2019 feature.
