Both the title of the first review and Variety stating that Kit Harington is "frequently buck-naked" in the film definitely beg the question that 1) if DC hadn't been against doing a werewolf story as the second '70s DS film, and 2) given how so many werewolf films/series feature nudity after the werewolf transforms back to human form, would David Selby have been required to do nudity if DC had done a werewolf film? Why do I suspect more than a few of his fans are having extensive and explicit fantasies about that missed possibility as they contemplate that question?
