Update – Director Sxv’leithan Essex died in June 2013 in Los Angeles, California, USA. So I guess the film will never be released. :(
Director Sxv’leithan Essex is working on Growl, an upcoming action horror movie combining Mixed Martial Arts and werewolves (admit it, you didn’t see this stuff coming!). The film is starring Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck from BSG!), Josh Kelly, Paul Bean and Kiefer Sutherland. Take a look to the first official pictures of Growl:
(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)
“A traveling underground fight club called ‘The Brawlers’ arrive at a derelict ghost town tucked away in the Colorado Rockies. They meet the town’s only residents, the Maxilla family who want to buy on to the fight card. But the Maxilla family’s true intentions for the Brawler crew is soon revealed in teeth and claws. Some will be hunted, some will be feed, and some will become part of the family…whether they like it or not.”
“It’s Fight Club versus werewolves. Two of my favorite things thrown in the ring to see what will come out alive. But what I love most about it is its completely character driven. […] I’m a total horror freak and I write with horror junkies like me in mind, creating the type of film we really want to see on the big screen.”

Well, sign me up for Growl: we’re going to see a hell of fight, fist vs fang! There’s a fat chance for the humans to win that one, but hey mixed martial arts could help…
