Frank Grillo to Lead Werewolf Action-Horror Film Year 2!
Our favorite leading man other than Colin Ferrell, Boss Level, Captain America and The Purge actor Frank Grillo will be headlining the new werewolf horror action film Year 2, which has been a hot seller for The Solution Entertainment Group at this year’s European Film Market…
CelebnMovies247.com reports that Frank Grillo has become one of the hottest actors on the market since signing with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) for representation in 2019.
In Year 2, Grillo will play scientist Wesley Marshall, a man racing against time to save his family from werewolves.
Year 2 takes place one year after a Supermoon activates a latent gene in humans that triggers lycanthropy whenever a person enters moonlight. Screen Daily describes the plot of the film as follows:
The event led to close to one billion deaths. Now the Supermoon has returned and Marshall must find a cure. When his sister-in-law and niece face a wolf onslaught at their heavily fortified house, he must decide whether to save the world or save his family.
Year 2 is set to begin production in Puerto Rico in May 2022 and is being directed by filmmaker Steven C. Miller, whose feature film debut Automaton Transfusion became a cult classic and catapulted his career, leading to larger Hollywood films like Escape Plan 2: Hades and Line of Duty. Meanwhile, the film was penned by Matthew Kennedy, known for 2020’s Inheritance, starring Lily Collins and Simon Pegg.
The Screen Daily also reports creature build has already started and the design and build for the werewolves is being overseen by Amalgamated Dynamics’ Alec Gillis, who is an Academy Award-winning special effects artist who served as part of the special effects crew on 1986’s Aliens, 1992’s Alien 3, 1997’s Alien Resurrection, 2004’s Alien vs. Predator, 2007’s Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, and 2018’s The Predator.
