What’s next from Tigers Are Not Afraid director Issa López? With Tigers now in select theaters courtesy of Shudder, López reveals to EW that she’s developing a werewolf-western!

Even better, the film will be produced by Tigers‘ biggest champion: Guillermo del Toro.

“We’re prepping a werewolf movie, a supernatural Western. It’s a werewolf-Western! I’m super excited,” López told the site.

She continued, “[Guillermo] has the script. I wrote it, he loves it, and we’re gearing up to make it. The thing is, there’s not really that many brilliant, brilliant werewolf movies. An American Werewolf in London is the big one. I think it’s time to revisit. It’s about revisiting the essence of what it is, which is trying to contain the beast in you. It’s as simple as that, and I think that’s perfectly relatable with humankind, and particularly the moment that we’re living in.”

also Tigers Are Not Afraid is a very nice Devil's Backbone/Pan's Laybrinth-esque film filtered through the Mexican drug war
