Freeborn is an upcoming film about werewolves, to be directed by Anthony Brownrigg, son of cult director S.F. Brownrigg. It is intended to start up where most werewolf movies end, with one of its taglines, "So you're a werewolf... now what?" describing the general outlook of the film.
[edit] Themes
Rather than being a straight horror film, Freeborn is planned to be part of the suspense genre. Instead of focusing on killing or gore, it will focus on the drama produced by the situation of werewolves who are neither good nor evil trying to survive undetected among humans. Instead of being forced to kill, the werewolves can choose whether or not to kill, based on their own personality and decisions. The transformation special effects are also intended to be different than the usual, with werewolves presented as graceful and beautiful instead of ugly. Unlike standard werewolves that stop transforming when still displaying combined human and lupine anatomy, the Freeborn werewolves will be capable of transforming all the way to actual wolves, when they want to. To help design the transitional forms, Timothy Albee, the creator of Kaze: Ghost Warrior, was hired as part of the special effects team.
[edit] History
Freeborn was originally planned as a $50,000 direct to video horror movie named Devoured. After seeking fan input, the director realized that werewolf fans were unsatisfied with most werewolf movies, and wanted to see something much different than the usual. A message board was set up, and the script was rewritten to more closely conform with what the fan base wanted. Freeborn was also changed to a planned $6 million theatrical release.
