It’s no secret that director John Landon’s son Max Landis (Chronicle) has always wanted to reboot his father’s classic An American Werewolf in London, but the reboot been dead in the water for years.

Before there was An American Werewolf in London from master of horror John Landis, there was Schlock. Now, for the first time, Landis’ 1973 film is getting a limited theatrical release in over 150 theaters during the annual Art House Theater Day this September. Not only is it Landis’ first film, Schlock helped launch the career of one of the best SFX artists to ever walk the earth, Rick Baker. “Carnage! Terror! Banana skins! The mighty prehistoric ape Schlocktropus has emerged from hiding to embark on a full-scale rampage across a quiet SoCal suburb. The police are baffled. The army is powerless. The body count is rising…but when Schlock encounters a kindly blind woman who sees beyond his grotesque visage, the homicidal simian is presented with a chance at redemption…” Schlock opens in theaters on September 23, 2018.

One of the most iconic films in horror history is ‘An American Werewolf in London’. It was only a matter of time before it fell victim to the remake machine. That’s right, ‘An American Werewolf in London’ is being remade by Universal. Max Landis, along with Robert Kirkman and David Albert, the producers of ‘The Walking Dead’, are behind the upcoming film. Max Landis, whose father, John Landis, wrote and directed the original, will both pen the script and direct. Kirkman and Albert will produce under their Skybound Entertainment banner, Variety reports. John Landis and Anthony Waller, who was behind ‘An American Werewolf in Paris’, recently finalized a deal with Universal for the remake rights.

Max Landis penned the scripts for ‘Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency’, ‘American Ultra’, ‘Victor
