An American Werewolf in London is an upcoming American supernatural horror comedy film, serving as a remake of the 1981 film of the same name by John Landis, who also serves as an executive producer on this film. Produced by David Alpert, Robert Kirkman, and Todd Garner, the film will be released theatrically by Universal Pictures.

Production[edit]

In June 2009, it was announced that Dimension Films was working with producers Sean and Bryan Furst on a remake of An American Werewolf in London (1981), which had later been delayed due to other commitments.[1] In August 2016, several reports suggested that Max Landis (son of John Landis, who wrote and directed the original) was considering remaking the film.[2][3] The following month, Deadline Hollywood reported that Max Landis would write and direct a remake, with David Alpert and Robert Kirkman of Skybound Entertainment, and Todd Garner of Broken Road Productions producing, alongside Circle of Confusion, while John Landis would serve as executive producer.[4]

In December 2017, Max Landis confirmed on Twitter that he had completed the first draft of the script.[5] However, beginning in late 2017, accusations by a number of women who claimed that Max abused them emotionally or sexually began to emerge publicly; this later resulted in Landis being fired from the project with no major announcement.[6]

In November 2019, Variety reported that Kirkman was still in consideration to serve as a producer for the reboot of An American Werewolf in London.[7][8]
