Sculpted maquette by Bill Corso (as part of Steve Johnson's XFX) for an early version of An American Werewolf in Paris.
American Werewolf in Paris went through many directors/writers - and effects artists. At this stage it was Tom Stern and Tim Burns (who had just directed/written Freaked), who had Johnson's XFX and Tony Gardner's Alterian listed to realize the werewolf animatronics, with Phil Tippett on-board for the CGI.
Stern & Burns wished to do away with the 'half-man, half-wolf' look, instead taking design elements from big cats, due to their nature as deadly predators.
