Weinsteins Circling ‘An American Werewolf in London’ Writer?
Although no details were revealed, the LA Times is reporting that the Wesintein Company is in talks with a writer Fernley Phillips, best known for scripting Jim Carrey’s horrid The Number 23, to give a modern spin to An American Werewolf in London. Our own sources tell us that Bob and Harvey Weinstein are really looking to depart from John Landis’ 1981 horror comedy that told the story of two American tourists in England who are attacked by a werewolf that none of the locals will admit exists. This begs a single question: why?
Ishana Night Shyamalan’s feature debut The Watchers is headed to theaters on June 7 from New Line Cinema, and the film has received its official MPA rating this week.
The Watchers is rated “PG-13” for…
“Violence, terror and some thematic elements.”
The film follows Mina, a 28-year-old artist, who gets stranded in an expansive, untouched forest in western Ireland. When Mina finds shelter, she unknowingly becomes trapped alongside three strangers who are watched and stalked by mysterious creatures each night.

The Watchers stars Dakota Fanning (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Georgina Campbell (Barbarian), Oliver Finnegan (“Creeped Out”) and Olwen Fouere (The Northman).
The upcoming mystery-horror film is produced by M. Night Shyamalan, Ashwin Rajan and Nimitt Mankad. The executive producers are Jo Homewood and Stephen Dembitzer.
Joining writer/director Shyamalan behind-the-camera are director of photography Eli Arenson (“Lamb,” “Hospitality”), production designer Ferdia Murphy (“Lola,” “Finding You”), editor Job ter Burg (“Benedetta,” “Elle”) and costume design by Frank Gallacher (“Sebastian,” “Aftersun”). The music is by Abel Korzeniowski (“Till,” “The Nun”).
The Watchers is based on the novel by A.M. Shine.
