Three werewolf movie ideas:

Lycanthropy as metaphor for menopause instead of puberty. Not sure where to go with this, just tired of people wolfing out in their teen years. Yes, scary body changes, lots of hair, we get it.

A global conspiracy of werewolves who are shaping military policy to develop weaponry which could blow up the moon. They want to create a ring for the Earth so that they can stay in wolf form permanently, see.

A form of lycanthropy where lots of people have the potential, but it would take far more moonlight than even the brightest full moon could provide. Which has no impact, until astronauts start landing on the moon and being exposed to thousands of times more moonlight than normal.

Werewolves on the Moon!

Gods, yes.

...Only as I see it, things are really intense for a short period while they go through the change, but then the spacesuit rips due to stresses it wasn't designed for and the new werewolf immediately dies of explosive decompression.
Which, you know, could be fun too.

Perhaps being a Werewolf is really wonderful but they don't realize it at the time so they have to figure out a way to get back to Earth but for some reason Werewolves can't leave the Moon easily, so they have to go through some ridiculously arcane rituals and processes, all the while in a race against time as NASA and the ESA are planning to send a nuke to the Moon to kill them. And so they get back to Earth but then they have to find a way to get back to the Moon. And then they get there and it's a space dance-off with the Vampies of Cruithne. Also there's a crazy-talking stowaway played by Tracy Morgan.

You can combine it with #2 even, in that NASA and the ESA and RAND CORPORATION eventually succeed in blowing up the Moon and so everyone on Earth becomes a Werewolf anyway.

"Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

Sorry, everyone else uses it and I never get to. I saw my chance and took it.

Ok, so we finally set out to build a base on the moon, and we send up some astronauts to take up semi-to-permanent residence. But living on the moon turns them into werewolves, and everyone in the moonbase is slowly growing fur and developing a serious craving for mutton. Jokes are made about sniffing butts and marking territory.

BUT THEN

The whole thing turns into a big 60's psychedelic freakout with wolves in zoot suits howling at antennaed space babes who pop over from the dark side of the moon, which turns out to be a galactic infra-red light district. The entire party is MC'd by Howlin' Wolf and at some point shows werewolves seated at a table playing space poker. There's a chase scene with the former-astronauts-turned-Dogs In Space (driving the original moon rover, natch) being pursued by Amazon Women of the Moon(carrying spears), which ends once the "Blacks in Space"-style funk ship crash-lands on the surface and Bootsy Collins steps out followed by George Clinton who then declare the entire thing to be "Far out."

What were we talking about, again?

I dunno, man, but have you ever really looked at your hands? They should do a whole movie about that. Or a sandwich. Imagine it, man, a sandwich for your hands.
