Music Issues Delay ‘Werewolf’ TV Series on DVD
Horrible news comes in from TV Shows on DVD who report that the highly anticipated Werewolf TV series has been delayed because of music issues. Special effects for transitions into a 7-foot-tall werewolf were done in this series by none other than Rick Baker, who was the man behind the ground-breaking transformations in An American Werewolf in London and was consulted for the makeup effects seen in The Howling. In the series, young Eric has been bitten by a werewolf. However, he’s not particularly thrilled by this turn of affairs and wishes to escape his curse. To do so, he must find and kill the founder of his particular werewolf clan. Beyond the break you can see what Brian Ward, one of the DVD producers at Shout! Factory, had to say.
“It is with an absolutely heavy heart that I have to announce the official postponement of Werewolf: The Complete Series. There are a small handful of major music hurdles we still have to overcome. Sadly, unlike some situations, this is not a case where we could simply remove/replace the music, as those audio tracks are married to the dialogue tracks. In order to extract the music, we would literally need to extract the scenes completely. And these are some fairly important scenes that, in some cases, run several minutes.
So we’re still working on figuring it all out. It’s a great set and I hope to see it released shortly. But it doesn’t look like it’s going to be on the books for ’09.”
