Landis Talks ‘An American Werewolf In London’ Remake
This past weekend John Landis attended the HorrorHound Weekened in Pittsburgh to meet and greet with tons of horror fans. While hanging out with Bloody-Disgusting we had the chance to talk a bit about a possible remake to his classic An American Werewolf In London, which will be arriving on Blu-ray with the documentary BEWARE THE MOON sometime in 2009. In brief, Landis exclaimed with excitement “I would do it, sure!” telling us that there have been a wide range of talks over the years. What is really comes down to is licensing the character rights, which Landis owns. So for those of you who want a remake, there is a good chance it’ll eventually happen. In the film two American tourists in England are attacked by a werewolf that none of the locals will admit exists.
A bedtime lullaby soothes an unsettling newborn in our exclusive clip from Nightborn, from Hatching filmmaker Hanna Bergholm.
The dark fable makes its debut on Shudder on July 31.
Seidi Haarla (Compartment No. 6) and Rupert Grint (Knock at the Cabin, “Servant”) star as new parents in Nightborn, and this exclusive clip highlights mom’s harrowing transition into motherhood.
In Nightborn, “With dreams of starting a perfect family, Saga and her British husband Jon move to the isolated house where she spent much of her childhood, deep in the Finnish forest. But as soon as their baby is born, despite the reassurance of all around her, Saga knows there’s something terribly wrong with her son. As their marriage starts to crack, Jon struggles to support his wife, but only Saga suspects the terrible truth about her newborn.”
Pamela Tola, Pirkko Saisio, Rebecca Lacey and John Thomson also star.
Bergholm teased of her maternal horror movie, “In Nordic countries, there’s a long-standing mythology of trolls living in the forests. In ancient times, people truly believed that trolls inhabited the woods and had a kind of control over nature. And in Nightborn, the forest reflects Saga’s emotions and the animalistic, primitive physical side of humankind.”
“Hanna Bergholm’s audacious sophomore follow up to Hatching delivers tension and shocking moments surrounding parenthood and self discovery — with a touch of humor,” said Emily Gotto, senior vice president of acquisitions and production at Shudder. “We are thrilled to share Nightborn with audiences.”
