True Blood and Glorious star Ryan Kwanten is set to star in Dead Howling, an upcoming post-apocalyptic werewolf horror from Kaleidoscope Film Distribution.
Per Deadline, Kaleidoscope Film Distribution will handle world sales on the title and present the film at this week’s Cannes Market. Dog Soldiers producer Tom Reeve will produce.
Directed and co-produced by John Soto, Dead Howling begins production in Australia in July, and follows:
…Carter, a lone werewolf fighting for survival in a world overrun by zombies. Taking vengeance for his murdered family, he spends his days hunting down the living dead for sport, until he finds new purpose after saving the lives of two humans seeking a rumoured sanctuary for survivors. However, despite Carter now joining them on their journey as a powerful ally, the group faces new and unimaginable danger when they discover that their undead enemy is beginning to evolve.
Starring alongside Kwanten are Temuera Morrison (The Mandalorian, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom), and Tom Burlinson (The Man From Snowy River, Flesh+Blood).
Kaleidoscope CEO Spencer Pollard has this to say of the acquisiton:
“We are very excited to be working with the team on Dead Howling. It promises to be a fun-filled, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride that audiences globally will really enjoy.”
Dead Howling won't be Kwanten's first go-round with supernatural shapeshifters, having been tangled up with Werepanthers in the fourth season of HBO's True Blood.
