Bloody-Disgusting uncovered that Dimension Films are actively pursuing the remake rights for John Landis's classic werewolf flick AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON. Landis himself checked in with B-D and had the following to say: "Yes, Dimension is now in negotiation for the 'An American Werewolf in London' remake rights. Perhaps someone will make a brilliant movie out of it. Regardless, my film comes out on Blu-ray this summer and looks amazing. I was afraid the digital cleaning of the negative would result in too clear a picture and hurt Rick Baker's make-up, when in fact the incredibly crisp detail actually makes Rick stuff look even better!" Let's hope this new movie is more AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON and less AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN PARIS. (Meaning, practical FX over CGI please?)

Variety confirms that producers Sean and Bryan Furst whom recently produced DAYBREAKERS are setting up the project with Dimension. No writer or director is attached, but pending.
