Stone Village Plans Werewolf LOBO Trilogy

A trilogy about werewolves? That seems to be the plan here. Scott Steindorff's Stone Village has acquired Lobo, a spec script for an action thriller by Dikran Ornekian and Ryan Colluci about a colony of werewolves in Brazil, reports Variety. Ezna Sands has been set to direct. Steindorff will produce and Dylan Russell will be executive producer. The film has been fast-tracked for an Oct. 15 production start and will shoot outside Rio de Janeiro. The film's under-$15 million budget will be financed independently.

"Our intention is to tell a single story over three films, and this first chapter is a guy who makes a massive revelation," Sands said.

Plot Concept: In Lobo, a man receives a photo and letters from his mother's will, then heads to an isolated town in the Amazon to discover his roots. There, he discovers a near-extinct species of werewolves and his true identity, and he helps the werewolves wage a battle for survival.

My homies Flint and Predator I am there with you. I love Werewolf movies and find them to be scary then a Vampire. I mean come on whats more scarier a man with fangs or a freaking monster with fangs and claws and towers over you LOL. I am there too if it turns out to be cool.

wolfman, I had you pegged for a Frankenstein fan :)

Jarrod pointed this out yesterday, about how we seem to get these films in twos. We already have Benicio's Wolfman and now this.
I'm down too but there haven't been too many really good werewolf films since American Werewolf in London. Crossing my fingers.

BRING ON THE WEREWOLVES!!! Baker's Werewolf looks pretty good! Lobo starts to sound like Gary Brandner's Howling books a bit... but I'll take it as long as the effects are decent.

hanso • Aug 12, 2008, 06:51am •

I don't think with $15 mil they can have good effects.

WISEGUY562 • Aug 12, 2008, 07:26am •

15 mil? They'll be buying the werewolves costumes at WalMart or have some teenager with a computer do the cgi. They better find more money somewhere.

Whiskeymovie • Aug 12, 2008, 07:33am •

Well, if they change the setting to Portugal, they can just use the women there for werewolves, no make up needed......ZING.....anywho....Underworld was made on a small budget..$22 million, and that looks pretty damn good, so I think they can pull it off if most of the budget goes to the effects and such.

If it's done in the dark like AVP2 than they won't need a lot money. Maybe they're hoping that the first one will be a hit and then be able to bankroll the rest of the trilogy. I too am a fan of the werewolf movie but like Wiseguy, I'm still waiting for a really good one.
