Frank Grillo werewolf action horror Year 2 has been a hot EFM seller for The Solution Entertainment Group with key territories closing ahead of a scheduled production start in May in Puerto Rico.
Grillo, the star of The Purge and Captain America franchises who has become one of the most in-demand actors in the market, plays scientist Wesley Marshall racing against time one year after a Supermoon triggered a latent gene in humans that turned people into werewolves when they entered moonlight.
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.
