When the Nazis occupy Paris and threaten the fabric of Western civilization, who are you going to send against them? A British werewolf, of course. That’s the premise of The Wolf’s Hour, a 1989 novel by Robert R. McCammon that’s about to be turned into a film by Universal.
The Wolf’s Hour was optioned by Bradley and Kevin Marcus a while ago, but now has Fast and Furious writer Chris Morgan on board to produce. Given Morgan’s past – he also produced Fast and Furious 6 - this seems to indicate that Universal is actually going to back this one up with a strong budget.
The story follows British spy/lycanthrope Michael Gallatin as he parachutes into occupied Paris to stop a Nazi plan that threatens the D-Day invasion. Gallatin has a chip on his shoulder too: a Nazi spy murdered his lover in her bed three years prior,...

What's cooler than Nazi zombies? Few things, really, but Nazis fighting Ally werewolves is pretty damned close. Speaking of which, Universal is ready to start howling again with the film rights to the Robert McCammon novel The Wolf’s Hour.
According to Deadline, Universal Pictures has acquired the novel for Chris Morgan and Emile Gladstone to produce through their Universal-based Chris Morgan Productions banner. While Universal has done several werewolf films since launching the classic from its original movie monster library, this is a different take on the legend, and it comes with a screenplay.

More normally found putting words in the mouths of Vin Diesel and Ludacris for the Fast & Furious films, writer Chris Morgan also dabbles in the horror genre, having written the story for upcoming Neveldine/Taylor thriller The Vatican Tapes. But for The Wolf’s Hour, based on the book by Robert McCammon, he’s sticking to producing duty.The actual legwork (finger-work?) script-wise is being shouldered by Bradley and Kevin Marcus, who took a shot and optioned McCammon’s 1989 book themselves. They wrote a screenplay and got the attention of Morgan’s production company, which in turn led to a deal with Universal.You can see why the studio might be interested – The Wolf’s Hour is a pulpy blend of World War II adventure and werewolf tale, which finds a man recruited by the Allies to stop a Nazi poison gas plot. He’s signed up because his wolfy abilities give him extra speed,...
