As I'm sure you all remember, Freeborn is the werewolf film that was written with imput from fans of werewolf films. Reason I'm bringing it up now, is that I fell across a message saying that their's a trailer for it available.
I've not seen the trailer, and I've not had a chance to try to find it on the internet, so I don't know how hard or easy it is to find or if it exists at all.
So, has anyone else heard anything recently about this film?

"We can't be exposed Jack..."
Most of the dialogue from that trailer could have been from ANY dramatic movie. All it needs now is Admiral Ackbar kicking and screaming 'IT's A TRAP!!!'
ON THE OTHER HAND : Super cool transformation! Very subtle and very promising! Reminded me of a great shot in the 1932 version of 'Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde' where Jekyll turns into Hyde while he has his back turned to the camera.

I had found that site a long time ago, it was attached to a site called Furnation, the writer joined up with an animation artist known as timothy Albee that made "Kaze: The Ghost Warrior" , all this happened back in 2005, since about 3 years ago i stopped being able to find the movies site, "Building The Ultimate Werewolf".
Unfortunately all the info about it that i find now is something someone had posted in a forum about it. I figure they must have abandoned the film all together.

As I'm sure you all remember, Freeborn is the werewolf film that was written with imput from fans of werewolf films. Not so, it was written with input from Goldenwolf fans and canine enthusiasts. Take a swing by their message boards, they hate werewolf movies and hate horror movies and look down on fans of both. I lurked around there for a while, but their collective superiority complex drove me off before I ever posted. They like to pretend that their ideas are original, ignoring the fact that paranormal romance novels have been almost exclusively about attractive, beautiful werewolves for years and Goldenwolf practically invented the pretty spiritual lycanthrope. Despite what these people would have you believe they don't speak for the entirety of the werewolf fan community. They're a very select sub group and they have very little in common with us. We have nothing to offer each other. Freeborn has been in development hell for years now. It might happen now what with the popularity of Twilight, but I seriously doubt it. Besides, they already made this movie when it was called Blood and Chocolate. |

I consider The Pack to be the true home of Freeborn. Regardless, it's generally agreed that this can be considered dead until informed otherwise.

Wow Komodo those guys sound like a collected strew of everything i hate in a person; conceded, snobby, self centered, high class clan who single themselves out. Screw that, I could tell is wasnt made from a broad lycan fan base. Its laking atmosphere, character build, and a few other things. I mean i wanted the characters to die 1 minute into the trailer, but i am going to give it a shot at least its original.

They think of themselves as bold, progressive, free-thinkers secure enough in their superiority that anyone with a different opinion than them who prefer werewolves a different way are either sheeple blinded by "Hollywood propaganda!" or just stupid. They don't just see Freeborn as a movie to look forward to but an important "revolutionary" modern classic that will change society's view of werewolves and make them mainstream making all previous werewolf movies obsolete. They basically think that they're the saviours of the werewolf genera. And by werewolf genera I mean this:  They want this in every werewolf movie forever. Have fun. By their reckoning fans of werewolf horror need to be "shown the light". Go ahead, I dare you to post on that forum saying you prefer werewolves as monsters. You will be bombarded with horrified posters informing you that wolves are beautiful and majestic creatures who wouldn't hurt a soul, that werewolves are just people to and aren't monsters, and you will be pelted with with every other bit of obscure lore and one shot fairy tale that doesn't portray werewolves as monsters as though it somehow invalidates thousands of years of werewolf legends that does, decades of film history and your own personal preferences. All the while they talk down to you like a child. I'm also pretty sure that The Pack's Den was Ground Zero for their little club's annoying and unfailing tendency to compare werewolf designs they deem unworthy of their saintly eyes to completely random animals that they just pull out of thin air because they consider those animals ugly and inferior to wolves. There's a thin line between werewolf fan and wolf fan. These guys don't seem to know that you can be one without being the other. |

I think I would hate those people to death the moment one started talking to me.

If we all thought the same way, it would be a much less interesting world.
So, presumably they consider their "werewolves" to be vegetarians? if they don't believe they are aggressive, or violent, or anything like real-life wolves (not saying wolves are evil you understand, only that they are canivors and their hunting technics on larger prey isn't very . . . polite).

They sound purist, wow thats so stupid. I may be starting a war here but they are pretty much everything a werewolf is not supposed to be. I don't like the sound of the word "War". War makes me think someone is going to go over there and start trolling them, and I don't want that to happen unless they start something over here. I say leave them alone, let the two camps keep to their own. The thing about many f these people are, they're primarily wolf fans first. Many of them are actually wolfaboos. They are not horror fans and they disdain monsters as being passe and not "hip". Modern Timber Wolves are quite timid creatures when faced with other predators. Might have something to do with the fact than man has beat the crap out of their numbers and also the fact that many of them share territory with heavy hitting predators like bears and mountain lions. In the distant past however, especially in Europe and Asia, wolves were far less afraid of man and far more likely to take humans as prey. Especially starving or rabid wolves. Flanderization took effect after a while and by the middle ages when people thought of wolves they thought of wolves as ravening hellhounds. To your typical European peasant living in the Dark Ages wolves were mysterious, deadly, and coming out of every corner of the dark forest to cause untold havoc. This view was based in ignorance and superstition and had little to do with true wolves. Ergo, werewolves are really more stories about men becoming ravening beasts than men becoming true animals, or connecting with nature. Science has marched on, and now we know that wolves are just mid sized predators who have to gang up on a deer to bring one down. Hardly the spawn of the devil come to walk on Earth. Sure they've killed people for food in the past...sometimes they still do. I remember a story a while back about a woman who was hunted and killed by wolves. It happens, but it's not a trend and for the most part they're not that dangerous unless sorely provoked. The mindset that the werewolf legends emerged from has little to do with the reality of what wolves are. Therefore werewolves have little to do with true wolves. I think it's a bit disingenuous to what werewolves are to try and pigeonhole them into being "just a dood who can turn into a beautiful wuff!" and then tell us that we're wrong for liking it a different way. To their credit though, they don't seem to tolerate Otherkin or people who claim to actually be werewolves. They don't seem to be big Twilight fans either. ;D |
