This is likely to be true, since Universal (I assume it will be the same studio that released the original) basically sent Rick Baker into early retirement because of his treatment during the making of The Wolfman (2010) and their trashing of the practical effects for the Thing remake and replacing them with CG.

Re: Female Werewolf needles in a haystack

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

Re: Female Werewolf needles in a haystack

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?

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.

You're right on the nose. It'll take some digging through search filters on Vimeo, but it's still there, I promise.

Re: Female Werewolf needles in a haystack

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

True. Is is still, by far, the best low budget female werewolf transformation ever: a cute naked asian woman sweating and crying out in pain, and fortunately with not much off-camera and no skin-ripping. Even there was an edited version done by someone from this forum that I still keep as a treasure.

As a curiosity, the version that appears in a later compilation of shot films has different music due to,I suppose, copyright issues (not Elvis nor Bowie this time).

Another hint: I remember that in an interview the director commented that the FX cost approx 500 USD. That is real economy of means .

There is some hope that CGI won’t be exclusively used. First of all, as I mentioned before, since Landis is the son of the original’s writer and director, it would make sense that he would want to honor the source material and use (at least mostly) practical effects for the TF. From a more pragmatic standpoint, however, don’t forget the ‘90s sequel, “American Werewolf in Paris,” bombed hard, and one of those reasons was because they relied almost exclusively on CGI for the TFs. I remember excitedly reading reviews of the movie when it came out (before I discovered how terrible it was), and even mainstream critics were bothered by the overuse of “computer graphics” for the transformation (what they called it before the popularity of the acronym “CGI”). They said the transformation wasn’t anywhere near as “realistic” as the original, which was ironic since special effects presumably advanced in the 15 years between those two movies. So if even most critics, who almost assuredly don’t share our fetish, complained about the CGI TF, it’s likely or at least hopeful that Landis will use mostly practical effects to distance himself from that critical and commercial failure. Now, it’s true that since “AWIP,” there have been a number of female werewolf productions that ended up also using CGI for the TFs, most notably the aptly named “Cursed,” a production that literally kicked Rick Baker out for some godforsaken reason. But this remake at least has that “AWIL” connection where the iconic TF was so essential to the movie, so it would make sense it would follow in that classic’s pawprints.
