David Allen and Kismet Entertainment have the rights to Dog Soldiers (the film that first put writer/director Neil Marshall on the map) and are moving forward with a web series, Dog Soldiers: Legacy.
Anything to do with horror-based lycanthropes gets my haunches up, and this looks like it may prove to be good, low budget fun. *Fingers cross*
The official press release follows -
Kismet Entertainment Group announces the first official
teaser trailer for the upcoming Dog Soldiers: Legacy web series.
Dog Soldiers: Red was filmed in Northwest Arkansas in the last weekend of August
2011. "The trailer brings back a sense of the unique werewolf style that we have all
come to love from the original Dog Soldiers film" stated Kismet vice president D. Eric
Allen. Allen produced the teaser and is the oldest son of David E. Allen, producer and
financier for the original film.
Based on a modern-day version of "Little Red Riding Hood", multiple members
of Allen's family took part in the Ryan Lightbourn-directed trailer including his
grandmother Pat "Nan" Allen who plays the awaiting grandma and his sister Emmy
Allen who portrays "Red".
"I can't wait for people to see what we have in store," quoted Lightbourn. "Old &
new fans alike will be extremely satisfied."
Kismet Entertainment is also in the early stages of pre-production for the first
sequel to the 2002 cult hit "Dog Soldiers".
"We would like to thank our fans for their continued support and for having faith
that the Dog Soldiers title will continue to expand into the future", said David E.
Allen, president and CEO of Kismet Entertainment Group.
They've kept the look of the Dog Soldiers werewolves, which can be taken as a positive sign. The fact that it was also a family affair, while maybe a little goofy, is also endearing, and in keeping with the spirit of low budget film making. No wasted resources! Let's get grandma out here too!
Check out the shot-on-the-fly trailer below, as well as a trio of pictures.
