Like, I don’t think I have to explain how perfect an analogy lycanthropy is for a period, so why is it that the only real films exploring that are Ginger Snaps and maybe Turning Red if you stretch the definition. I get that there are female werewolves in media but they’re usually side characters with little depth.
I’d also say werewolves are typically presented as a masc thing, like the whole juvenile “dogs are boys, cats are girls” presentation in a lot of media, but even that could lead to some interesting storytelling with typically masc characters having to go through a very fem experience.
Please, we cannot let the only deep exploration of lycanthropy and sexuality in mainstream media be Joannas botched attempts to make it an analogy for aids and then have a character attack and infect children. So I guess this is a stupid question and a call for requests.
It looks like ‘The Devils’ is going to be a stand alone [who knows, right?]
Probably be the easiest one to start with, unless they do a movie about the female thief and her warrior bestie.
There’s a sequel book in the works and will be released May 2027 called, “Heretics”.
From a quick summary: James Cameron has acquired the film rights to Joe Abercrombie’s dark fantasy novel The Devils through his production company, Lightstorm Entertainment. Cameron, who will co-write the screenplay with Abercrombie, plans to begin development on the project after completing Avatar: Fire and Ash.
This is why I hate the interwebs.
Instead of having a pleasant surprise in 2027, I’ll be annoyed for the next 10 months.
Thanks a lot, pal!
