just found some more info....

"With daybreak comes the next horrifying chapter in the DOG SOLDIERS saga.

"In the misty morning, following his night of werewolf horror in the original DOG SOLDIERS, Pvt. Lawrence Cooper surveys the rubble of the Scottish farmhouse, battered and bruised from the battle. He has lost everything he knew to the werewolf family; his fellow soldiers, his father figure sergeant, his faith in women and his disbelief in the supernatural. Cooper and the only other survivor, Sam the dog, begin their long trek toward civilization, satisfied that the werewolf family was killed in the farmhouse explosion.

"Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, the U.S. Special Forces team that was originally sent to participate in a series of war games with Cooper’s team waits impatiently. Col. Benjamin Parker sends two of his men off to see if there is any sign of the British team. They return with Cooper, who tells them an unbelievable tale about the night he and his platoon were besieged by a family of werewolves.

"Just as Parker is about to write off Cooper as a mass murderer, a second wounded British soldier is brought into the U.S. camp. He introduces himself as British Special OPS Pvt. Kevin Erickson, lone survivor of the werewolf attack on Sgt. Ryan’s platoon in the original film. Erickson reports the werewolf attack on his platoon to the soldiers. He escaped with a few other soldiers to a cave near a stream. During the night, Erickson watched as one by one his platoon died, only to be resurrected, transformed into werewolves: Dog Soldiers!

"Parker has had enough of the werewolf tales, puts both men under arrest and banishes them to a secured tent until they can all be picked up by a rendezvous ship in the morning. When Cooper reveals his photographic evidence from the farmhouse, Parker sends out three of his men to the shattered farmhouse to corroborate Cooper’s story. The U.S. soldiers arrive at the farmhouse…just at moonrise. They are greeted by a bone-chilling howl that shatters the still of the night.

"What follows is a night of ultimate horror as the U.S. forces, armed to the teeth with modern warfare technology, are about to take on their greatest foe, savage supernatural beasts who think and act like soldiers. The battle for humanity will be fought on this night…Man vs. Beast…Soldier vs. Dog Soldier!"

it sounds good, its a pitty it wasnt kept entirely a British acting crew, but hopefully it wont detract from the film.

so much for the pictures that ran during the credits of the 1st one (the newspaper cover, etc) that pretty much said he made it back.

Good point, and one of the film's virtues - at least Neil Marshall relied on good old fashioned animatronics and prosthetics without resorting to odious CGI techniques.

I normally hate modern British horror, this along with Shaun of the dead are the only relly good genre films to come out of the UK in a long time! I think its a shame that one of the only fun movies to come out of Britain is being shot over sea's and given a Hollywood gloss ... Nothing wrong with American style movies, but surley its nice to watch something a bit diffrent now and then!

as said already, and I agree with you, film productions in the uk seam to think the only way films do well in the west is to bring the west to the production.

It's a shame in a way, but after reading the synopsis, it still sounds like it has potential to be a good sequal.


But the original Dog Soldiers did pretty well, and if the reactions of the orginal film, here from members are anything to go by, who I think covers a main target audience, then imo an all British cast would still enable the film to do well in the States....even the mainstream viewers aswell.

i dont know if the folks here are a very good representation of north american acceptance - of British horror.
Anymore than Japanese, Italian..

What you have here are fans of a genre that isnt widely popular in itself. The people here are hungry for movies, willing to try anything, and by the very nature of the genre - far more open minded.

I dont know if you're aware of this but movies with heavy brit/scot/irish accents often are subtitled in north american releases ..

I applaude the folks who are ready to embrace foreign horror movies (or movies in general)
There are far too many neandrathals out there who refuse to watch a film if it's subtitled, black and white, or letterboxed !
(let alone hard to understand without paying attention)

You want to make an american happy at the show .. throw in a carshase and a couple of big explosions. And a blonde with big fake tits.
