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. We reported back last year that Max Landis, John’s son, is remaking his father’s 1981 classic (at least it is staying in the family). Robert Kirkman and David Albert, the producers of ‘The Walking Dead’ are the source of the idea to do the remake and will produce under their Skybound banner. Max recently spoke with IMDb about the project: I’m gonna write it and I think I’m gonna direct it,” Landis said. “I like the script I wrote, you know? I’m halfway through it right now, I hope it turns out great.” He went to make it clear that he understands that fans are concerned and that he is

Season 2 Of Outcast Gets International Premiere Date

One of the best new series in 2016 was Fox’s supernatural series Outcast from creator Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead), based on his comic by the same name. We got our first taste of what’s to come in season 2 back in October. In season 2, Kyle will continue to seek out answers about himself, why those around him are being possessed and why the residents of his small town are being taken over. Philip Glenister, who plays Reverend Anderson, had this to say about the upcoming season in an interview with Mymbuzz.com: The biggest arc that I can tell you is the fact that what we, the characters, and the audience perceive as being this virus – this threat that’s spreading – turns out to be much, much, much bigger and more dangerous thing than any of us thought possible. Season one was quite a slow-burner in order for the audience to get acquainted with the characters, so the

Max Landis Will Direct The American Werewolf In London Remake

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. 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
