Ketchup Entertainment has acquired the U.S. rights to Wolves, the directorial debut of screenwriter David Hayter (X-Men, X2, Watchmen). The film, written by Hayter, is a werewolf action-thriller starring Lucas Till (X-Men: First Class), Stephen McHattie (Immortals, Watchmen) and Jason Mamoa (Game of Thrones, Conan the Barbarian). The film will be produced by Copperheart Entertainments Steve Hoban (Splice, Ginger Snaps) and will feature 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 is currently aiming for release in Summer 2014.
