Wolves

PROJECT DETAILS
  • Ketchup Entertainment will distribute in the US.
  • Filmed in Toronto, Canada.
  • Writer/director David Hayter aims to start an original franchise that avoids the cliches associated with werewolf films, saying: "You're not going to see a person with a snout transforming into a werewolf and it's going to take place in a mountain community that's almost unconnected to the modern world."
  • Stephen McHattie will portray "a key role as a farmer named John Tolleson."
  • Fans may recognize Jason Momoa from the Conan the Barbarian remake and as "Khal Drogo" from Game of Thrones.
  • Originally titled Slaughter's Road.
  • When in early development with Crystal Sky Pictures, Thomas Dekker and Ray Stevenson were attached to star. It's currently not known if they are still attached.
  • Filming was originally said to begin sometime in Summer '09 then July 2010.
  • This marks David Hayter's directorial debut.
  • Hayter describes the film as "Twilight with a bit more bite to it, and without abstinence." He explains that he took out the mythology and found a way to make it a metaphor for a teen maturing sexually into adulthood, at the age when young men howl at the moon.
  • Produced through the newly-formed Dark Hero Studios, which writer/director David Hayter will co-operate with fellow producer Benedict Carver.
  • Writer/director David Hayter served as co-writer of the first two X-Men films and most recently with Watchmen. Gamers may also recognize his name as the voice actor for "Solid Snake" in the Metal Gear Solid series.
