Max Landis Speaks Out About Remaking ‘ An American Werewolf In London’

With the film industry determined to remake/reboot every genre film we ever loved (at least that’s how it feels), it seems no classic is off limits. It was just a matter of time before John Landis’ An American Werewolf in London was added to the loooong list of revamped films.

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. I have to say, that if anyone was going to remake this classic, I’m glad that it is Max Landis. His father will hopefully have a heavy influence on the remake. Max Landis penned the scripts for ‘Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency’, ‘American Ultra’, ‘Victor
