LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Rapper-turned-actor DMX ("Cradle 2 the Grave") is in negotiations to star in and produce the action-thriller "Werewolf."
The Phoenix Pictures project is described as being in the vein of "Blade." DMX will play a mysterious bluesman whose mission is to rid Earth of werewolves, the last of whom live among the rich, glamorous and drug-addicted in the Hollywood Hills.
A late-2003 start date in Montreal is being eyed. Italian director Dario Piana will make his U.S. feature debut from a script by Marshall Todd, who sold the project to Phoenix two years ago in a deal potentially worth almost $1 million.
DMX just wrapped shooting "Never Die Alone" for director Ernest R. Dickerson. His other credits include "Exit Wounds" and "Romeo Must Die." The actor is likely to take on another feature project before segueing into "Werewolf."
Piana has shot commercials for the likes of Ferrari, Dolce & Gabbana and Pennzoil.
