For those of you who don’t know who John Landis is, he directed great films such as Animal House, The Blues Brothers, and for the horror genre, a little gem called An American Werewolf in London. So with his black comedy Bruke and Hare getting a limited release in the US on September 2nd, director John Landis has been doing a bit of press for it and revealed to Bloody Disgusting that he would be returning to the horror genre with a new film he has in the works.
“You know what? Actually, I’m writing one with Alexandre Gavras and we’re shooting it within the next two years in Paris,” he said. “Yeah, a little monster movie. It has no title [yet]…You’re the first people to know about it.“
He goes on to talk about the setting and touches on the cast, stating that:
“It’s interesting…my cast has to be bilingual because it’s being shot in French and English…We know who’s gonna star in it, but this is all off the radar right now [so I can’t tell you who they are].“
This is pretty exciting news and while it may not be clear if he will direct the film, if he plans on making this an epic return I think we should assume that he will.
What are your thoughts on John Landis returning to horror? Are you as excited as I am?
