Actor Frank Grillo is all set to star in Briarcliff Entertainment and The Solution Entertainment Group's horror-thriller 'Werewolves', reports Washington [US], Deadline.

The production house is planning to release the film in theaters on December 6.

In 'Werewolves', a supermoon event activates a dormant gene in every human on Earth, turning anyone who enters the moonlight into a werewolf for a night. Chaos ensued and nearly a billion people died. Supermoon is returning after a year.

The recently completed film will also star Katrina Law, Ilfenesh Hadera, James Michael Cummings and Lou Diamond Phillips. Directed by Steven C. Miller, screenplay by Matthew Kennedy.

“The Briarcliff team is thrilled to once again partner with The Solution Entertainment Group on Werewolves,” said Tom Ortenberg, CEO of Briarcliff. "With Steven C. Miller behind the camera, audiences will be treated to an amazing big screen experience."

"We are extremely excited to release Werewolves exclusively in theaters later this year," said Miles Nestel, co-CEO of The Solution Entertainment Group.

“Our cast is incredible, from the amazing Frank Grillo to the powerful performances of Katrina Law and Ilfenesh Hadera. The use of practical werewolves designed and built by Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff Jr. (known from the Alien and Predator series) takes the genre back to the next level. “We hope audiences will have as much fun experiencing the film in theaters as we had making it!” Deadline reports.
