Ketchup Entertainment Acquires David Hayter’s Wolves

Ketchup Entertainment today announced the acquisition of U.S. rights to Wolves, the directorial debut of screenwriter David Hayter (X-Men, X2, Watchmen). The werewolf action-thriller, written by Hayter, stars Lucas Till (X-Men: First Class), Stephen McHattie (Immortals, Watchmen) and Jason Momoa (“Game of Thrones,” Conan the Barbarian). The film is produced by Copperheart Entertainmen’s Steve Hoban (Splice, Ginger Snaps), with makeup effects by Oscar-winning creature designers Dave Elsey and Lou Elsey (The Wolfman, X-Men: First Class).

Wolves follows the story of Cayden Richards (Till) – a handsome eighteen year-old with a dark secret. Forced to hit the road after the brutal murder of his parents, Cayden finds himself turning into a savage wolf and is thrust between two warring clans of werewolves fighting for control of the ominous town of Lupine Ridge.

Ketchup CEO Gareth West stated: “From the first time we saw ‘Wolves,’ we knew audiences would be swept up in the exciting action and powerful storytelling. We are thrilled to be working with such a talented group of filmmakers and actors, and feel that ‘Wolves’ is a great addition to the Ketchup slate.”

David Hayter said, “I am so pleased to partner with Ketchup Entertainment for the U.S. theatrical release of ‘Wolves.’ My producers and I have worked for years to make ‘Wolves’ something special and unique, and I am confident that we have found committed partners who share that vision.”

Wolves was financed by Copperheart Entertainment, TF1 International and Telefilm Canada. The cast also includes Merritt Patterson and John Pyper-Ferguson.
