Werewolves Are Cool Now, Howling Getting Remade
Cinema Blend News —
... with an analogy for Hollywoods annoying tendency to find something that makes money then beat it into the ground until its beyond predictable and over-processed. Theres nothing as annoying though. When The Dark Knight made billions, studios decided that all superhero movies should be gritty. When Twilight doubled its budget in a weekend, studios bought up every vampire franchise possible. And now that New Moon has done the same, it seems that wolves are next. According to Variety , producers Joel Kastelberg and Etchie Stroh are making plans to reboot the Howling ...

THE HOWLING Getting New Life
We Are Movie Geeks —
Here’s an idea for you. Let’s take a nearly forgotten, ’80s franchise, one where the first film is almost considered a modern classic. We’ll reboot it by slapping the subtitle REBORN at the end. Who should we get to direct this bad boy? I got it. A marketing exec. Let’s completely bypass even giving this to one of the commercial or music video directing guys. This things cries for a marketing exec.
That is precisely what Joel Kastelberg and Moonstone Entertainment’s Etchie Stroh are doing with THE HOWLING series. According to Variety, THE HOWLING: REBORN is set to begin shooting in February with a ...
