December 06, 2004 - Director Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger, Cutthroat Island) has hooked up with producers Adrian Askarieh and Daniel Alter to develop a film based on the forthcoming graphic novel, Full Moon Fever.

Dig this setup:  The story is set in the not too distant future and revolves around a group of blue-collar workers who shuttle to the moon to repair the first lunar base, only to find it deserted.  They soon discover that they're not alone as they become prey to a pack of ravenous werewolves.  That's right... Werewolves on the moon! Get it?  It's full all the time.

The story was conceived by X-Men and Superman comic book writer Joe Casey for publisher AIT/Planet Lair. Casey first pitched the project to Askarieh at this past summer's San Diego Comic-Con.  Casey is adapting the novel himself into a screenplay.

In addition to the graphic novel and film, Askarieh and Alter will spear-head the development of a videogame to coincide with the film's eventual release.

Regarding Harlin's involvement, Alter said in a statement, "We both think that Deep Blue Sea is one of the best films in it's genre, and I remembered that Renny was originally developing the third installment in the Alien franchise back in the early '90s. So it became a mandate to get him on this project."
