An American Werewolf in Paris

European Competition

A horror film by Anthony Waller. Screening Wednesday, April 1.

Synopsis

An American Werewolf in Paris follows three young university graduates from America on their tour of Europe. The daredevil Andy (Tom Everett Scott) meets a the woman of his dreams, Serafine (Julie Delpy) who is about to jump from the top of the Eiffel Tower. Listening only to his courage, Andy jumps after her, attached to the tower by a bungee cord, and saves her. Unbeknownst to him and his two friends, Chris (Phil Buckman) and Brad (Vince Vieluf), they are about to embark on an unimaginable adventure.

What is Serafine's secret? Is it possible that she is linked to the mysterious murders that are turning France's capital city into a blood bath? Andy, Chris and Brad will have to deal with the forces that go beyond their wildest imaginations. They should especially be careful when the full moon is out…

"Most of the filmgoers remember A Werewolf in London and hope to see something similar," explains the director-screenwriter Anthony Waller. "As far as fright and laughs go, they should be satisfied."

The shooting took place in Paris and Luxembourg during three and one half months. For the first time in the history of cinema, the werewolves were entirely computer-generated. Created by John Grower, at Santa Barbara studios, and his team of specialists, the werewolves are life-size, run, jump, leap and tear to shreds everyone and thing in their path!

An American Werewolf in Paris (Luxemburg/France - 1997) will come out in France on April 29, 1998.
