Female Werewolf needles in a haystack

[howlingfan]

The more I think about it, the more the casting of Anna makes sense to me. After all, it would make sense to cast a relative unknown in the lead role. (No, I don’t count a bunch of YouTube videos as signs of a major celebrity.) David Naughton was relatively unknown when he was cast as David Kessler in the original. At that point, he only made a few commercials tap dancing for Dr Pepper. (“I’m a Pepper, he’s a Pepper, wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper too?”) In fact, in its parody of “AWIL,” Mad Magazine referred to this fact by having the werewolf dance and ask, “I’m a werewolf, he’s a werewolf, wouldn’t you like to be a werewolf too?” It wouldn’t make sense to cast someone like Jennifer Lawrence in the lead role because, not only would she be unwilling to suffer the grueling hours of makeup, we wouldn’t buy the TF scene because we know “J-Law” isn’t a werewolf. Obviously, werewolves aren’t real, but we could suspend our disbelief just a bit by seeing an unknown actress rip off her clothes and go through the motions. There’s a small part of your brain that would think, “Well, maybe she IS a werewolf.” If the IMDb synopsis and casting of Anna are unchanged a month from now, I would say it’s a pretty good sign that this is not a prank. You would think in that time, SOMEONE would tell Landis that his movie’s entry on IMDb was messed with, and he would go back and change it. As Homer famously once said: “Now we play the waiting game….. Oh, the waiting game sucks. Let’s play Hungry, Hungry Hippos!”

What was the name of that werewolf short film on vimeo? It’s with a guy hits on a girl in a bar and she turns into a werewolf? I’ve been trying to find it.

There's one aspect of the AWIL remake that is being overlooked.

Even if the lead is female, and even if Landis the younger is at the helm...the effects will be nowhere near as good. Even if Rick Baker hadn't retired, the movie studios would instinctively resort to less expensive CGI as opposed to the previously used makeup, prosthetics, and animatronics.

There's just ultimately no way the remake will stack up to the original, solely for that fact.

I believe it's called "The Dark"? That Aussie chick was smoking hot. Pretty good TF phases, but I would have liked to see more process.

Having watched a lot of Max Landis' videos about movie pitches...he seems to always give women a huge role in his movie scripts that he writes. there is a very good chance that this woman will be our werewolf. it seems VERY much in his character that he would attempt to give a female lead a chance in his next big movie

Ehhh. I'm going to remain cautiously optimistic. I'm not going to get my hopes up because I've been burned after Bitten. And AWIP. And Cursed. And Darkwolf. And...


Need I go on?

asking for a AWIL remake with female in it is like wanting a ghostbusters remake starring only women as the leads. XD

Did anyone in this forum happen to save the short film M is for Moon (later known as Hello Moon)? Here's the trailer to jog your memory:

https://vimeo.com/108617860

It used to be on Vimeo and was posted in this thread ages ago, but now it's gone. I know this would be better suited in requests... but since we are on the topic of old Vimeo videos and since the only people who would know this video are long time followers of this thread, I thought I would ask here.

I second this. I've been looking all over the place for that video since it went down on Vimeo. If any kind soul happens to have it, I'd be very grateful.
