THE PACK Message Boards

I'm gonna shake things up here. Since we seem to be running out of topics, how about we take sides, and face off! BWA HA HA!!!!!

Kidding. But someone's feelings are bound to get hurt from this kind of question ( including me potentially ) But think of it more like a poll. And be honest in your answer.

FREEBORN. CAMP LYCANTHROPE. H.O.D, and any others I may not know about...including upcoming studio releases like Skinwalkers. Which one do you want to see most. Why? Is it the story? Transformations? Characters?

To make this fair, I'll start. I want to see HEART OF DARKNESS, because Joshua Roberts is a fantastically talented young writer who's bound to go very far. H.O.D is also a great story, in the tradition of all apocolyptic fims. But this one has werewolves, so it's automatically cool. I think of all the creators/writers on this board, Joshua is the most underestimated.

I wish I could say I wanted to see Freeborn most, but I know very little about the story. Joshua seems to have a very set and well defined world. It will be interesting to see just HOW accurate a studio can reproduce what is in his script.

So no offense to anyone else...that's just the one I want to see most.

Who's next?

Gee...its hard to pick one when I want to see all three.

I dunno. Having read the screenplays of all three (though only most of the way through HOD) I'd really like to see CL, because it's animated, and I have a distinct interest in animated films.

Ditto Figarou

that is what i want to

This is a hell of a hard question to answer because (like most of the others) I want to see all three and it's not easy to choose just one. Particularly as I don't know all that much about any of them. But from the impression I get from how people describe the films, once the points in common (werewolf stories and all the action / thriller material that inevitably entails) are set aside... "Freeborn" sounds like a character drama and "Camp Lycanthrope" sounds like a coming of age story (Matt, if I'm way wrong about this, let me find out at Movieland 5 in a couple of years' time...) but H.O.D. sounds like a huge epic that's got the potential to do to werewolves what "Star Wars" did to science fiction. So, personally, out of these three films, H.O.D. just scrapes in as the one I'd most like to see.

No, Midnight, you're right. Actually, it's more of a "coming-of-rage" story! *yuk yuk yuk*

Again...its hard for me to pick what I want to see 1st "IF" all three came out at the same time. I'll go see whatever comes out 1st. Then wait for whatever comes out next.

Simple as that.

I'm not as interested in seeing them as I am interested in seeing what happens to the werewolf concept/genre because of them. Freeborn is the movie inspired by werewolf fans for werewolf fans, Camp Lycanthrope will feature the first animated werewolf not in a Spiderman cartoon, and Heart of Darkness has the potential to be epic.

My money's on Freeborn being the big winner, at least as far as the reviews go. It's interesting that C.L. is animated, but it is still just a coming of age story, which are about a dime a dozen, and while H.O.D. has the potential to be epic, so did the Eragon movie, but the season-long hype leading up to that movie took less than a week to die out completely after its release.

Freeborn I think is going to have a rough opening weekend, but will receive some high praise from reviewers and be a modest hit in the end. The thing about werewolf movies is that the acting has been so absolutely horrible in the past, so anyone that sees Freeborn will at least say the acting was "much better than I expected."

Camp Lycanthrope paws down..

I will never give a straight answer to a question such as this.
I do not pick favorites.
I would like to see a realistic transformation in the werewolf movies I watch...<<

I'm really looking forward to all three of them. Though we'll have a long wait ahead of us to see any. Read the scripts for all three, and loved them all. They are all completely different types of movies that just happen to have werewolves featured in them.
But, if I had to choose which to see first, I'd have to say Freeborn. I've known about it the longest (obviously) and have been looking forward to it the longest. It is the first movie where the director actually asks the fans what they would like to see, which is nice

So, those three are at the top of my list. Non-Pack website ww movies that I'm looking forward too:
The Wolf Man remake(lets hope those people take a peek over here before begining production)
