The sequel to 2014’s horror-comedy Wolf Cop, Wolf Cop 2, will begin filming in Saskatchewan, Canada in February, and we couldn’t be more excited! In Wolf Cop we were introduced to Lou Garou (Leo Fafard), an alcohol chugging, lazy, small town cop. Lou was a poor excuse for a cop and a human being, that was until he was the victim of an assault and a dark ritual in the back woods after a call. The ritual transformed Lou into a werewolf and a better man. Lou’s now on a mission to rid his town of corruption and drug dealers. He also happens to be a bit of a party animal. Lowell Dean’s film made a huge impression on fans, including myself, and formed an instant cult following.
