While we still await the long-delayed release of Joe Dante’s (GREMLINS, THE HOWLING) return to horror, THE HOLE 3D, he is currently at work on his next genre effort, MONSTER LOVE. New sales art for the flick has popped up; view it below.
The horror/comedy is described as “Romeo and Juliet with fangs.” Dante directs off a script by Greg Pak (PLANET HULK). Elizabeth Stanley and Frederic Brost are producing for Darclight Films and Metaluna Productions. Here’s the plot:
After Pete, a young dogwalker, gets dumped by his girlfriend, his slacker buddies convince him to run naked through the city park. As the moon rises, the boys laugh, howl, and transform…Later, a distraught young woman named Maggie is contemplating suicide when she’s surprised by an enormous wolf. She snarls, baring her vampire fangs. The wolf grins and barks: Let’s play!
After a fierce, exhilarating chase through the park, Maggie falls asleep with the wolf — and awakens in a naked young man’s arms. It’s Pete. And love at first sight.
Pete’s werewolf pals and Maggie’s upper-crust vampire clan are furious. And when some mangled bodies are discovered in the woods, Pete and Maggie must fight for their lives while grappling with the awful consequences of loving a monster.
