Here's some groovy news worth howling over. Variety is reporting that L.A-based XYZ Films has boarded PARTY ANIMAL, a werewolf pic from cult Norwegian genre scribe-helmer Patrik Syversen ("Hellfjord"), taking sales rights to what its producers bill as 'the first modern Scandinavian werewolf movie'. The film is co-written by screenwriter-actor Stig Frode Henriksen, a co-scribe on the popular DEAD SNOW zombie Nazi franchise.
A horror film with action and comedic beats, PARTY ANIMAL turns on…
…a disillusioned young man who arranges a bachelor party for his best friend at a locked-down location. But he has to fight for his life when it turns out that the groom is a werewolf.
PARTY ANIMAL will be produced by Thor Sigurjonsson and Jacob Jarek from Denmark’s Profile Pictures and Fredrik Pryser at Norway’s Fredrik Fiction.
This sounds like it could be a hell of a lot of fun, and I'm a sucker for a well-done werewolf flick. I'm ready to party with this animal!
