PLOT
SUMMARY |
| |
The deposed editor-in-chief of an old,
distinguished publishing firm, recently taken over by
a multi-millionaire, corporate raider, is bitten by
a wolf on a lonely stretch of road in Vermont the night
of a full moon. As he slowly watches himself metamorphose
into something lupine, he discovers that he has been
betrayed by his most promising protege, his wife of
16 years has been unfaithful, and that he has fallen
in love with the raider's beautiful, headstrong daughter.
What follows is a series of grisly events that reaches
a bloody and horrifying climax. |

CURIOSITIES |
| |
» The first choice of the director
to play the Laura Alden part was Sharon Stone,
she turned down and Michelle Pfeiffer accepted then the part had some changes to take more
importance on the film... please, no comment.
» Mia Farrow was
slated to play Charlotte Randal.
'Mike Nichols' had to fight
to let Farrow have the part, due to the film company's
hesitancy over her being too controversial at the time
(the then current Mia Farrow/Woody
Allen trial). She had to take a salary cut but
in the long run she had to bow out anyway due to schedule
conflicts. |
