The exclusive news coming out of Bloody Disgusting today is that Ridley Scott has acquired an original Werewolf based horror screenplay from Ian Jeffers (DEATH SENTENCE… upcoming CASTLEVANIA).
No further details are known, or even if Scott has any interest in directing it but what we do know for sure is that he has a lot of free time between now and late Spring when he is due to work on NOTTINGHAM… his Robin Hood epic that was delayed because of the changing season this August/September.
A small based, quick to shoot werewolf movie might be something that could occupy him for a few months. Scott is not really one to take time off work, who knows… he could be so itching to get back behind the camera that he stumbled across this solid horror script and decided it would be fun to make.
Scott’s only real past horror movie was ALIEN and we haven’t seen a great Werewolf movie in years. Joe Johnston’s remake of Universal’s classic THE WOLF MAN, opens in May.
