A new American Werewolf In London?

Just what is it with ‘80s werewolf movies at the moment? First Teen Wolf, now the legendary An American Werewolf is London is rumoured to get the remark treatment.

Bloody Disgusting has heard that John Landis – who isn’t exactly opposed to the idea of a remake – has sold the rights to do just that to Dimension Films.

Question is, do we need another Werewolf? In London or otherwise? While Teen Wolf could conceivably updated in today’s high school-obsessed era, we’re not sure anyone needs to try and top Landis’ seminal horror, nor Rick Baker’s amazing effects (below).

Sure, not every moment still holds up, but it remains a superb horror comedy and really doesn’t need a new version. After all, doesn’t anyone remember the truly awful sequel set in Paris? CG Werewolves? No thanks!

Oh, and the last time Dimension did American werewolves, we got Cursed. Again we say: no ta.

What do you think? Yay or nay?
