The film stars Frank Grillo (“The Grey”), Katrina Law (“Arrow”), Ilfenesh Hadera (“Billions”) and Lou Diamond Phillips (“Courage Under Fire”).
“Werewolves” focuses on the aftermath of a Supermoon event, which triggered a latent gene in every human on the planet, turning everyone who entered the moonlight into a werewolf for that one night. Chaos ensued and close to a billion people died. Now the Supermoon is back.
The deal was negotiated between Signature’s acquisitions manager Begüm Kayacan Parodi and the Solution Entertainment Group’s co-founder Lisa Wilson.
“The idea of a one-man-army against millions of werewolves made Steven C. Miller’s action thriller a very attractive genre proposition for us at Signature,” said Parodi. “It’s something we’re sure U.K. and Irish audiences will happily sink their teeth into ‘Werewolves’ in 2025.”
Wilson added: “We are delighted to have closed another deal for U.K. rights with Signature. ‘Werewolves’ fits perfectly into their wheelhouse, and we look forward to a successful release.”
