Patrick Swayze missed werewolf movie role

WASHINGTON - Patrick Swayze missed a chance of becoming werewolf on big screen.

The actor, who died of pancreatic cancer on September 14, was approached to star in ‘First Howl’ as a movie executive suspected of murder, when he was diagnosed with the disease.

Scriptwriter Clint Morris admits that Swayze was the perfect choice for the role of Dennis Camrock - and he loved the part, reports Contactmusic.

In a post on his MovieHole.net website, Morris writes, “I couldn’t think of anyone more perfect for the role - and as the film was written as somewhat of a love-letter to the 80s, and the product of the era, everyone was in unison… We all agreed it’d be perfect to have Swayze be a part of it.

“It looked good there for a while. We were talking costumes. We were talking drumming up his lines. But then… he got sick. And suddenly Patrick wasn’t taking on any more parts - not immediately anyway. We let it rest,” he added. (ANI)
