It’s been almost two years since we last reported on Steven C. Miller‘s werewolf movie Year 2,starring Frank Grillo. The filmmaker has offered recent updates on social media, teasing that the long wait for action werewolf carnage is nearly over and that it appears to have a new title: Werewolves.
The premise for Werewolves is described as “a supermoon event caused a latent gene to turn everyone exposed to the moonlight into a werewolf for one night. Millions died—and now, the supermoon is back.”
Katrina Law (“NCIS”) stars alongside Grillo as the brilliant geneticist, Dr. Amy Chen, who goes on a dangerous journey with Grillo’s character to saved loved ones, against a ticking clock.
That setup sounds like The Purge: Anarchy but with werewolves, and we’re so in.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams, film commissioner Pat Kaufman, labor leaders and film and TV partners broke ground today on a East End Studios’ new film and TV complex in Sunnyside, Queens that will create nearly 1,000 construction jobs and roughly 750 permanent, full-time jobs.
It’s the second new site rising as the city recently broke ground on Sunset Pier 94 Studios. That 266,000 square-foot project backed by Vornado, Hudson Pacific and Blackstone includes six soundstages. The two projects are kicking off the return of the city’s film and TV production industry after the actors’ and writers’ strikes ended.
“Thanks to SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America securing fair deals for their workers, film and TV production is back in New York City — helping more than 185,000 New Yorkers get back to work,” said Adams. “New York City is back, but our work is not done until every New Yorker has a pathway to success.

Coverage of Isa’s (International Sales Agents) has resumed for The American Film Market. This segment follows leaders and innovation in the world of international film sales and distribution.
Lisa Wilson is an accomplished and widely respect Hollywood veteran. She is a Partner and Co-Founder of The Solution Entertainment Group, and has been in international film distribution for nearly forty years. She has handled Academy Award Winner “Crash”, “The Tourist”, “Hugo” and “Arbitrage”. She serves on the board of the Independent Film & Television Alliance and is a current member of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.
Lisa talks about The Solution Entertainment Group, her full service international sales and financing company:
This is our third Afm. Berlin was my first market, almost four years ago. I had been in sales for almost four decades, working for other companies. My partner was a banker, and he was working in film financing. He had various experiences where he had gone to a sales company to sell a film, and then the sales person would leave in the middle of working with him. He was looking to start a company, but he wanted a partner that was in sales so that couldn’t happen to him again. And so we joined forces. We have a third partner – Craig Chapman – and we’re based on the Siren Lot in Hollywood. We’re very branded, and very strategic about what we bring to the market. We’re not looking to do a massive amount of product. We’re looking to do high quality product with real talent attached.
The new one now that we’re selling here is” Oppenheimer Strategy” with Richard Gere and shoots in January. It’s being directed by Israeli director Joseph Cedar, whose last two films were both in Cannes and were both nominated for best foreign film at the Academy Awards. That’s a really good example of what we’re looking to do.
How did you enter the business?
It was an accident. I had a temporary secretarial job with John Heyman, who is David Heyman’s father, which turned into a career in international distribution. I love it. It’s certainly challenging now, far more than it was in the DVD glory days. I still think if you have the right product, you can do well, because there’s an awful lot of wrong product.
What inspires you in your work?
For me it’s the material. We read everything ourselves, and we’re always looking for that ‘something special’. It has to sing to me. For better or for worse, what you see on the slate is my taste. I make no excuses for it. It’s nice to be able to do that.

An integral part of the Sundance festivities ever since she premiered Humpday there in 2009 (she followed that up with a showing of Your Sister’s Sister, last year’s premiere of Touchy Feely and has shored up at the fest as an actress and even voice-over narrator), Seattleite Lynn Shelton didn’t spend much time resting on her laurels, snapped up some A-grade indie actors and started lensing this past June. Laggies sees Shelton reteaming with Cinematographer Benjamin Kasulke and editor Nat Sanders, and the dramedy features the solid ensemble of Chloë Grace Moretz, Keira Knightley, Sam Rockwell, Tiya Sircar, Mark Webber and one of the current “it” indie actresses in Kaitlyn Dever.

#30. Highland Park - Andrew Meieran I thought Andrew Meieran's dramedy might be ready for a 2011 edition showing -- but if this hasn't preemed anywhere else then perhaps the post-production process was a tad bit more lengthier than anticipated. With True Blood star Deborah Ann Woll and Park Posey toplining, perhaps Highland Park will indeed be receiving a Premieres showing. Gist: This centers on a group of high school faculty members and their desire to improve their community. Confronted with overwhelming problems and limited resources, their lives and priorities change when money seemingly falls into their lap. They see the restoration of the library as the means to inspire civic pride and a way to re-energize people. Posey will star as Shirley Paine, onetime homecoming queen and now the Mayor of Highland Park. A scheming opportunist, she is a woman drunk on power, eager to cash in on the city's notoriety.

In the horror genre there are few things we love more than the stupidity of young adults! I mean, why not pick up strange, spooky-looking hitchhikers and drive them to their dilapidated home, where you'll eventually encounter all kinds of nastiness? We love you guys!
According to Variety Jeremy Sumpter, Bret Davern, Elizabeth Diprinzio, Chris Coy, Lindsey Godfrey, Virginia Williams, Jonathan Schaech and Harley Graham are starring in indie horror thriller The Culling, currently shooting in New Orleans.
The Culling centers on a group of five college friends who head out of town for a fun-filled long weekend, but their plans change after finding a 7-year-old girl alone at an empty cafe along the highway and have no choice but to drive her home. When they arrive at her house, it's quickly apparent they will have to stay for the night -- but what's not apparent is the evil nightmare they are about to encounter.
