Here comes news that's both great and scary all at the same time. JOE DANTE is looking to add his own touch to the vampire/werewolf love story idea with MONSTER LOVE. Written by Greg Pak, the film is just in pre-production right now but there's a thick plot synopsis already...

Follow up:

A werewolf and a vampire fall in love, igniting a war between their respective communities. It's ROMEO AND JULIET with fangs.

After Pete, a young dogwalker, gets dumped by his girlfriend, his slacker buddies convince him to run naked through the city park. As the moon rises, the boys laugh, howl, and trasform... Later, a distraught young woman named Maggie is contemplating suicide when she's surprised by an enormous wolf. She snarls, baring her vampire fangs. The wolf grins and barks: Let's play!

After a fierce, exhilarating chase through the park, Maggie falls asleep with the wolf - and awakens in a naked young man's arms. It's Pete. And love at first sight.

Pete's werewolf pals and Maggie's upper-crust vampire clan are furious. And when some mangled bodies are discovered in the woods, Pete and Maggie must fight for their lives while grappling with the awful consequences of loving a monster.

Honestly, it sounds an awful lot like quite a few other flicks that we've seen before. What's interesting about it is that it's described as a horror-comedy and has DANTE at the helm. It may not be anything new but here's hoping that JOE DANTE can put a unique spin on it.
