My interview for ‘Beware The Moon - Remembering An American Werewolf In London’
EDGAR WRIGHT ON AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON - “BEWARE THE MOON - REMEMBERING AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON” was shot by a small independent, self-funded crew of three first time filmmakers, lead by (and including) writer/director Paul Davis between March and November 2007.
The above interview was shot for the proposed 45min UK television version of the documentary in June 2008 at The Prince Charles Cinema for the forthcoming Blu-Ray and 2-disc special edition release of AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, Universal Studios Home Entertainment acquired the rights to the 98min feature version (playing at Frightfest) which contains exclusively interviews with the original cast and crew only. Now, for the first time ever, the lost interview with Edgar Wright sees the light of day.
Part 1:

I’ve got my ticket for the Friday just to see this, and the film on the big screen. I don’t think your interview is in the 98mins version, still gonna be ace looking forward to it
Thanks for the clips Ed
Enjoyable interview
American Werewolf in London,one of my fav horror movies
Seems like this documentary is going to be quite good. It was cool watching you talk about the film.
My first experience with An American Werewolf in London was a brief one. My dad was flipping through the channels and stopped it on the part when David is first changing into the wolf. Scared the shit out of me. He changed it as soon as the scene was done.
This is easily one of the BEST interviews I’ve ever seen with you. Of course, you are discussing one of my top five flicks of all time, so that doesn’t hurt. I’m so very happy that this surfaced online (I know Paul was hoping that would happen), I was bummed when I found out it was only for UK telly initially.
self funded - my admiration has just gone up ten fold. def on my to buy list.
i’m so glad you said ‘brain’ at the end of that sentence after the long pause!
That was a great interview! Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
found it!
can’t get it up on youtube but there’s a clip called ‘richard curtisland’ - made me think of it in the bit where you talked about the cosyvision view of london/britain that some foreign films have.
v funny if you can get to see it (from ‘monkey dust’)
This was super fun. Thanks! My favorite line will always be, “A naked American man stole my balloon!”
I look forward to seeing this one day. Saludos des de Mexico!
“I can assure you this is not the least bit amusing”
Actually, it is. And very interesting too.
Saw Part 1 yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Looking forward to watching Part 2 now.
As usual, your joy for film is contagious. ‘Caring for characters’ is not something I hear much these days. Wanting to BE the characters, yes.
Thanks for the reminder that there is art and life in the world, not just marketing.
So glad we finally got this footage out there where it belongs.
Again, thank you Edgar for being a perfect gent and lending your time to the project.
Hope you enjoy the finished show!
Paul
