Throughout his 30+-year career, character actor Steven Bauer has been associated with films like Scarface, Thief of Hearts, Running Scared, Gleaming the Cube (a personal favorite), Raising Cain, Primal Fear and Traffic to name a few as well as the hit 80's TV series "Wiseguy."
For his latest project Bauer decided to switch things up a bit and don a crazy fur cap and eye patch to fight werewolves in Universal Studios Home Entertainment's latest classic monster project, Werewolf: The Beast Among Us, which was recently released on Blu-ray and DVD everywhere.
To mark the occasion, Dread Central had the opportunity to briefly chat with Bauer about how his life-long fandom for the Universal Monsters led to his involvement with Werewolf as well as more on his experiences shooting in Transylvania and how one small eye patch caused so many problems on set.
Check out our exclusive interview with Bauer below!

Universal has supplied Twitch with five Blu-ray copies of their latest action-horror movie Werewolf: The Beast Among Us. Here's the synopsis for the studio's latest lycanthropic film: A monstrous creature terrorizes a 19th Century European village by moonlight and a young man struggles to protect his loved ones from an unspeakable scourge in Werewolf: The Beast Among Us, Universal Studios' all-new addition to its time-honored legacy of classic monsters.

Watching as the beast's fearsome reputation draws bounty hunters, thrill seekers and charlatans to the tiny town, Daniel dreams of destroying the ruthless predator. So when a mysterious stranger (Ed Quinn) and his team of skilled werewolf...

Director: Louis Morneau. Writers: Michael Tabb, Catherine Cyran, and Louis Morneau. Cast: Nia Peeples, Steven Bauer, Stephen Rea, Ed Quinn, Ana Ularu, Rachel Dipillo, Adam Croasdell and Guy Wilson. Universal Pictures has been making werewolf themed thrillers since the early '40s and you would think that they would have perfected this genre by now. Their latest production, Werewolf: The Best Among Us, is definitely not perfect and possibly even mediocre. From the abysmal film Joy Ride 2, director Louis Morneau is no stranger to the direct-to-video style of filmaking. As well, Universal's newest production arm, Universal 1440 Entertainment, is also very familiar with Dtv releases. However, Werewolf: The Beast Among Us is unable to step away from film cliches and the title here seems like a re-imaged Van Helsing (2004). All the characters and situations seem artificial. The story, as it is, follows a group of werewolf hunters in Eastern Europe. A local town has experienced.

"It's like a Syfy Channel movie with extra gore," is precisely how my friend, colleague, and astute schlock aficionado Peter S. Hall described the latest "direct-to-video" horror flick from Universal. "Does it seem like the movie has any connection to the Benicio del Toro remake of The Wolfman?", was my next question, and for that answer I had to watch the movie. Short answer: no. Louis Morneau's Werewolf: The Beast Among Us has no connection to Joe Johnston's The Wolfman. What we have here is a very broad, very obvious, and very low-budget piece of anachronistic period-piece horror silliness that, while peppered with familiar faces and (as Pete mentioned) enthusiastic moments of gruesome gore, amounts to little more than a goofy trip to Romania for a visit with some werewolf hunters that don't actually hunt werewolves all that frequently. The over-plotted and broadly written screenplay is overstuffed with subplots and extraneous characters,...

Universal released Werewolf: The Beast Among Us to Blu-ray/DVD this week and I was given the opportunity to interview a number of people who were involved in the film. For today’s feature, I have my chat with Adam Croasdell, who plays Stefan in the film. Continue on to read about his preparation for the role, throwing knives, and filming in the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler:
What attracted you to Werewolf: The Beast Among Us and the role of Stefan?
Adam Croasdell: I know Catherine Cyran, who mentioned that Universal was working on this Werewolf reboot, and wanted to see if I was interested in getting involved. The character of Stefan was so much fun because he’s a badass. It’s hard to resist characters like that, because you get a lot of stereotypical heroes and villains, and I felt like there was room for an arc with Stefan.

The hunt is on for a good werewolf movie. Again.
Universal Pictures built their foundation on the classic, black and white monster movies like 1931's Dracula and 1941's The Wolf Man, and, after successfully rebooting The Mummy and turning it into a franchise, the studio tried again with The Wolfman in 2010 with less successful results. Mired in production issues, including director Joe Johnston (Captain America: The First Avenger) stepping in to helm with only three weeks left before shooting began, The Wolfman failed to earn back its $150 million budget. The studio's response? Rebooting the reboot with Werewolf: The Beast Among Us, which has now quietly arrived on DVD and Blu-Ray.
The plot is fairly simple: a 19th Century European village is being terrorized by a werewolf and a doctor's apprentice (Guy Wilson) joins a team of werewolf hunters (Ed Quinn, Steven Bauer, and Adam Croasdell) to bring down the, well,...

Strangers on a Train & Dial M For Murder I received review copies of these two Blu-rays only yesterday afternoon so I've only had a chance to remove the cellophane, but I can't wait to give both a watch and will relay the results once I do. Initially, looking at the features alone, it appears the Blu-ray copy of Strangers on a Train has all the same features as my 2-Disc DVD edition from 2004. It should be noted the "Preview Version" of the film, also known as the British release, which runs two minutes longer, is only presented in standard definition at 480i and not high definition like the final release version, which does still have the included audio commentary. The Dial M for Murder disc lacks the "3D: A Brief History" that was found on the previous DVD release while keeping the "Hitchcock and Dial M" documentary. My assumption here...

Universal will release Werewolf: The Beast Among Us on Blu-ray/DVD tomorrow and I had a chance to talk with the film’s director, Louis Morneau. Continue reading to learn about how this project came together, filming in Romania, and the possibility of a sequel:
Was this a project Universal approached you with or did you come to them?
Louis Morneau: This was something that Michael Tabb wrote and the studio had. They approached me and I was thrilled to do it, being a fan of the classic Universal horror pictures. I pitched a take that made it darker, added dark humor, and some steampunk elements. It basically kept to Michael Tabbs original draft, but I did a couple of quick passes on it and we were right off to Romania.
What was it like to shoot in Romania, where some of these myths had originated? Was this your first time visiting that country?...

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences launched an entire month of celebration in honor of "Universal's Legacy Of Horror." What better way to do that than to add a new movie to the franchise? Werewolf: The Beast Among Us is Universal's latest attempt at giving the tragic hairy monster another chance to shine after the disappointing reaction to "The Wolfman." Don't let the direct-to-dvd tag fool you. This is an entertaining and intriguing addition to the genre of werewolf movies.
I still don't know what there was to be disappointed in with The Wolfman. It was the perfect blend of two of my favorite horror brands: the gory gothic world of Hammer and the classic Universal look of the monster made famous by Jack Pierce in the 1940s. I am one of the few people who actually loved the film and felt it was a great homage to...

Universal is jumping back into the werewolf game with a film that looks like a Wolfman sequel, although technically it's not. Werewolf: The Beast Among Us is set to make its DVD and Blu-ray debut on October 9. To get everyone excited for all the wolf-on-human action, the studio has released some new images from the film and an official trailer. We’ve got the goods for you below. Featuring performances from Stephen Rea, Nia Peeples and Guy Wilson (among others), Universal’s newest werewolf flick doesn’t have quite the same level of star power as Wolfman – but that might be to the film’s benefit, seeing as Wolfman suffered at the box office even with the presence of Benicio Del Toro and Anthony Hopkins’ names on the poster.

Universal Studios has scheduled “Werewolf: The Beast Among Us”, a pseudo sequel of sorts to Joe Johnston’s big-budget 2010 movie “The Wolfman” for Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital Download on October 9, 2012. It looks like your basic “creature on the loose” movie, the kind that usually shows up on the Syfy Channel on Saturday nights. So hey, if you’re a fan of those type of entertainment, at least you’ll get slightly better production values with this one. That’s something, right? A monstrous creature terrorizes a 19th Century European village by moonlight and a young man struggles to protect his loved ones from an unspeakable scourge in Werewolf: The Beast Among Us, Universal Studios’ all-new addition to its time-honored legacy of classic monsters. During his studies with the local doctor (Stephen Rea...

A monstrous creature terrorizes a 19th Century European village by moonlight and a young man struggles to protect his loved ones from an unspeakable scourge in Werewolf: The Beast Among Us, Universal Studios’ all-new addition to its time-honored legacy of classic monsters. During his studies with the local doctor (Stephen Rea), Daniel (Guy Wilson) witnesses the horrific consequences of werewolf attacks.

So when a mysterious stranger (Ed Quinn) and his team of skilled werewolf hunters (Stephen Bauer, Adam Croasdell) arrive to pursue the monster, he offers to join them, despite his mother’s (Nia Peeples) protests. But it soon becomes clear that this creature is stronger, smarter and more dangerous than anything they have faced before. As casualties mount and villagers see their neighbors transformed into ravening monsters,...

Remember that period, months after the release of Universal's remake of The Wolfman, there were rumblings of a direct-to-dvd sequel? While, yes, there was in fact a werewolf project in development, it had no connection to the redo whatsoever.
Instead, Universal birthed an all-new tale of lycanthropy entitled Werewolf: The Beast Among Us and it's making its way to Blu-ray, DVD and digital download on October 9th.
Louis Morneau (Hitcher II: I've Been Waiting) directs this endeavor which stars Stephen Rea, Steven Bauer, Ed Quinn, Nia Peeples, Guy Wilson, Adam Croasdell and Rachel Dipillo.

From the studio that brought you a bunch of “Bring It On” sequels and “Smokin’ Aces 2: Assassins’ Ball” comes “Untitled Werewolf Thriller,” a direct-to-dvd (and Blu-ray and On Demand) movie that will trod the same territory as last year’s Academy Award-winning talent suck, “The Wolfman.” Directed by Louis Morneau (“Joy Ride II,” “Hitcher II: I’ve Been Waiting,” the 1999 Lou Diamond Phillips-starrer “Bats”) and starring Oscar-nominated actor Stephen Rea (Neil Jordan needs to get this guy work), “Untitled Werewolf Thriller” is “set in an unnamed 19th century European village where a werewolf attack draws bounty hunters, thrill seekers and…...

Universal Pictures gained in prominence during the 1930s and 40s, in no small part due to their classic monster movies such as 1931's Dracula and 1941's The Wolf Man. With vampires and werewolves finding themselves in more romantic fare in current movies and TV shows, Universal still attempted a re-imagining of The Wolf Man last year, however, after becoming a disappointment at the box office, the movie didn't exactly kick-start a new movie franchise.
Or did it? Undaunted by the critical and financial failure of The Wolfman, the studio announced plans of a reboot in July, altering their plans of sequel into what appeared to be a direct-to-dvd second reboot titled Werewolf. Steven Bauer (Scarface) announced last month that he and several other actors had already been cast for the movie and that he was heading to Romania to shoot it in a few days".

Back in July it was announced that Universal had hired Louis Morneau to direct the Untitled Werewolf Thriller that was reworked from the planned sequel to 2010's The Wolf Man. As I noted in my write-up, Morneau isn't generally known for making movies that are released in theaters, rather spending most of his career making direct-to-dvd titles like Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead and The Hitcher II : I.ve Been Waiting. Hence why the newest report about the project isn't all that surprising. Universal has sent out a press release about the new movie - which still doesn't have an official title - announcing the start of production, and has revealed that the film won't be making its way to theaters and, instead, will be making its debut on home video. The news also includes a full cast list, which includes names like Stephen Rea (V for Vendetta, The Crying Game...

Universal Pictures has officially started on production for a new untitled Wolfman movie that will go straight to DVD and Blu-ray. The new werewolf thriller is set to be released on on Halloween of next year 2012. Even though it wont be coming to the big screen there's no way it could be any worse than Universal's last Wolfman film, which was a giant werewolf turd. I was so disappointed in that film. This new movie will in no way be connected with the latter, so it's something that might be worth looking forward to, if your into these kinds of horror films like myself.
Untitled Werewolf Thriller stars Stephen Rea (V for Vendetta, The Crying Game), Steven Bauer (Scarface, Primal Fear), Ed Quinn (True Blood, Eureka), Nia Peeples (Pretty Little Liars, Walker Texas, Ranger), Guy Wilson (Almost Kings, Little Black Book), Adam Croasdell (Supernatural, East Enders) andRachel Dipillo (Law & Order,...

Back in June it was first rumored Universal was looking to re-write and rework Michael Tabb's would-be sequel to the failed 2010 effort The Wolfman starring Benicio del Toro and directed by Joe Johnston into a new werewolf franchise. A month later, Moviehole reported Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead, The Hitcher: I've Been Waiting and Carnosaur 2 helmer Louis Morneau would direct for a fall shoot. Now, it has become a reality as Universal announced the start of production on what they describe as an "all-new supernatural Untitled Werewolf Thriller" with Morneau directing. Filming will take place in and around Bucharest, Romania and the film won't be heading to theaters as the studio confirms it will be part of their DVD Originals line alongside such titles as The Scorpion King: Rise of a Warrior and the upcoming January release of [amazon asin="B005TK0WG8" text="The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption"] starring Ron Perlman and Billy Zane.

It may or may not be connected to the 2010 debacle that was “The Wolfman”, though it probably is given the film’s setting. Or not. Either way, Universal’s “The Wolfman” reboot (currently going under the very creative “Untitled Werewolf Thriller”) has announced the start of principal photography under director Louis Morneau (“Joy Ride 2″), and had quietly assembled its cast.

They remade The Wolfman a couple of years ago and did a decent job with that. This new werewolf movie from Universal takes place in 19th century Europe so I’m not sure why they didn’t just make a sequel, but this looks good. Here’s what we know about it at this point:

Leave it to Universal Pictures to make an announcement on Halloween about a new werewolf movie they've got cooking. While the company known for giving us Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolfman and The Creature From the Black Lagoon, amongst many other monster movies, has a new lycanthrope film in development, it doesn't have an official title just yet.
Untitled Werewolf Thriller is the working description for the movie. It will also bypass theatrical release and instead head directly for home video, arriving in time for watching during the Halloween season of 2012. Shooting has already started in and around Bucharest, Hungary.
The movie stars Stephen Rea (V For Vendetta, The Crying Game), Steven Bauer (Scarface), Ed Quinn (True Blood, Eureka), Nia Peeples (Pretty Little Liars), Guy Wilson (Almost Kings), Adam Croasdell (Supernatural) and Rachel Dipillo (Law & Order). The Untitled Werewolf Thriller movie is being directed by Louis Morneau (Joy Ride II) from a screenplay by Michael Tabb.

This summer we started to hear rumblings that Universal was prepping a new Wolfman movie [1], and that this might essentially be a reboot of the character, and one that acts like the recent The Wolfman, starring Benicio Del Toro, didn't happen. Those reports were partially correct. Roger Corman veteran Louis Morneau (Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead; The Hitcher II: I’ve Been Waiting; Bats), tipped as the director for this project [2] a few months back, started production today on a film called, for now, Untitled Werewolf Thriller. Stephen Rea, Steven Bauer, Ed Quinn, Nia Peeples, Guy Wilson, Adam Croasdell and Rachel Dipillo are in the cast. But this won't be a theatrical release; this one is a Blu-ray and DVD-only affair that will arrive in time for Halloween 2012.

Universal is one of the few studios that has become financially conservative in these tough, economic times, passing on or rejecting big-budgeted projects like Ron Howard's adaptation of The Dark Tower series and director Guillermo del Toro's R-rated adaptation of At the Mountains of Madness. But if there's one thing Universal won't give up on, it's a reboot of 1941's The Wolf Man.
Despite not even earning back its budget on last year's The Wolfman, Universal has given the thumbs up to a second reboot, titled Werewolf. It's not as crazy as it sounds. Initially, Universal was planning a sequel to The Wolfman, but after it bombed at the box office (ironically forcing the studio to shut the door on The Dark Tower and At the Mountains of Madness months later), the sequel was salvaged into the now-reboot of Werewolf.

Earlier we reported that Universal has a reboot of The Wolfman planned called Werewolf. Now it is being reported that Stephen Rea has joined the cast. The news comes from Steven Bauer while doing press for the Scarface Blu-ray. Bauer played "Manny" in the film and is a producer on the project.
Here is what he had to say to MovieHole:
"What I could say is that Stephen Rea is already casted. The great Irish English actor, Stephen Rea is in the film. And another American who’s maybe… Another American, Ed Quinn is in it too."
Stephen Rea is best known for starring in James McTeigue's adaptation of V for Vendetta. Ed Quinn has had a recurring role on SyFy's now-cancelled Eureka, and True Blood. At this time there are no further details about their roles available. The reboot is to be directed by Louis Morneau.

Steven Bauer (Scarface, Raising Cain) revealed in an interview with Moviehole that he will star alongside both Stephen Rea (Interview with the Vampire, V for Vendetta) and Ed Quinn ("Eureka") in Universal Home Entertainment's untitled Werewolf, a potential reboot of The Wolfman being directed by Louis Morneau. The new film, penned by Michael Tabb, will take place in a 1901 Romania with the lead character, "Daniel," caring for his sick mother and attending medical school. Daniel is then recruited to join a group of nomad bounty-hunters tracking down "a disturbing presence" terrorizing the town. Daniel and "Charles" quickly bond and must work together to uncover who this new breed of werwolf is. From what I'm being told, this sequel is very "whodunit".
