You may well remember Joe Dante's werewolf movie The Howling, wherein Dee Wallace-Stone (the mum in E.T.!) played a woman being stalked by a terrifying killer who turns out to secretly be a werewolf. You probably don't remember its six sequels, but that's OK because it's being rebooted with The Howling: Reborn, due out next Halloween.
Joe Nimziki has written and will direct this new wolf story, making his directorial debut after a career as a marketing executive at studios including Sony and New Line. There's no word on the plot yet, but we're going to go out on a limb and guess that it involves people growing fur and fangs when the moon is full.
Werewolves are, of course, so hot right now, and with another Twilight movie and The Wolf Man also due out this year, this is an idea whose time has arguably come. That, or it's a seventh sequel we're going to miss.
Shooting starts in February, a veritably New Moon-esque production schedule that leaves very little time for CG tweaking, but let's hope this at least comes close to the original.
