Hi Paul,

How is the doco going? Has it been completed/edited?

An update would be great!

reply

Would also like to know if it is going straight to DVD or what ever!

We're still shooting. All the major interviews are in the can. We've already started editing but still have some stuff to shoot toward the end of the doc. I can see this thing being longer than the running time listed on here. What we have so far is gold and some of the stories told are fantastic.
In addition, I have a new make-up artist working with us on this for my transformation. Very exciting to have him on board - he's worked on a lot of big movies including Gladiator and 28 Days Later. I will update one and all when I have more news.

As for ther release. A rough cut goes to Universal in the New Year, with luck AWIL will get a new special edition DVD with Beware The Moon on it. As for when? I would harbour a guess around the theatrical release of The Wolf Man.

Of course, i'll know for sure once Universal have seen it.

PD

Paul in your myspace blog you said you filmed in Great Windsor Park which was where David and Jack made their fateful stroll on the moors but I thought the Moors scene was filmed in Wales?thanks so much to you all for what you are doing as WIL fans like me can hardly wait!

reply

The day exteriors and the exterior of the pub is Wales. The night exterior moors is Windsor Great Park. We've got about 15mins focused on the first attack in the doc :)

reply

It must have been AWESOME to have met Landis and Naughton!how did you know you were 'exactly'in the spot where Jack and David were?will the dvd have any extra footage of AWIL,ie deleted/extended scenes/dialogue?well done to you all!

reply

Unfortunately no. There's nothing left in terms of deleted scenes. I knew i was in the exact spot because it was the clearest area on Windsor Great Park near a foot track. Nothing is by accident in filmmaking :)

reply

Excellent news Paul.

Thanks for the update :)

u know what i would love to see on a new AWIL dvd release would be the teaser and the theatrical trailers and all tv trailers too, that would totally make my day. and i cannot wait to see Beware the Moon. its funny how thats the title of my own little fanfic i plan to do based on AWIL, like a sequel continuing storyline thing for my own fun.

reply

Did you manage to track down a good print of that teaser trailer for the movie with the blood running through the stream, the one on video detective, that is if you plan to put it in the docu.

reply

Just to let one and all know, the documentary is a couple of weeks away from completion. Nothing on the release yet. Stay tuned.

reply

Did you get to go to Bob Burns basement and shoot some video of the puppet wolf?
BTW what did you shoot on, HDV?

reply

Yes and yes. We shot all of the AWIL props at Bob's place.

reply

so this documentary will only appear on a future edition on AWIL dvd?? Seems a shame, I (as I imagine many others have) have already bought the 21st anniversary edition & the HD DVD edition. Is there any possibility of a separate release? Thanks

reply

A new DVD of AWIL (tbc) and UK television only at this point. Although they will be alternate versions. The DVD cut will be longer, however the UK TV cut will feature interviews not in the DVD version.

PD

reply

This new version of AWIL, will it be HD release as well as SD?

reply

I have no idea. No details have been decided yet.

reply

I wish this new AWIL DVD had the footage of the bums dying that was cut...

Hey Paul, Since the Wolf Man keeps getting pushed back will this delay the release of the documentary?

reply

More than likely.
