The rumour is that there are writers writing a new script for Universal Pictures and want to use a modern helicopter as the basis, not the Bell 222.
Which is fine, as long as the dont use computer graphics as a substitute for a real machine for most of the filming. The computer graphics for helicopters that are used so often in movies now, are just not good enough.

More than twenty years after the advent of Airwolf and the show's original screen mock-up comes a re-creation that is true to the original.
It began when an associate of museum owner Dan Haynes contacted Steven W. Stull, Airwolf fan and craftsman of fine reproduction props. As he wanted to pay tribute to the Airwolf helicopter in some way, Mr. Haynes' associate sought to sell Steven's reproduction helmets and flight suits in the museum gift shop. Since the original Airwolf helicopter and filming mock-up had previously been destroyed by accident and post-show deconstruction, selling replica costumes seemed the best salute. Little did Mr. Haynes and his associate expect just how far Mr. Stull and his friends could and would help him improve upon that vision for a modest salute to the show by coming together to build a new Airwolf.
First, Haynes purchased a decommissioned Bell 222 airframe and components which had previously been scouted for this purpose by airwolf.tv's own Clark Van Hoten and Roy Nelson. The airframe would then be transported by truck to Stull's workshop in Dawsonville, Georgia to become the new Airwolf. Thus, on Thursday April 6, 2006, airframe serial number 47042, previously registered as N414WW, arrived at Mr. Stull's lakeside shop to begin the conversion. With access to original Airwolf plans and components and in collaboration with other subject matter experts, Steven began to create the first true Airwolf replica.
Initially, the Airwolf helicopter will hang from the museum ceiling at eye level with the second floor. It will be on display among other rare pieces, including the Army's prototype Commanche helicopter. After the museum's initial year, Airwolf will be removed to be rennovated internally by Stull, Van Hoten and Srodzinski. It will return as a floor-level display to show off the full beauty of the cockpit.

I agree with Starflex, there is way too much computer graphics in films. With something like Airwolf, you need a REAL helicopter doing its thing. Otherwise, with C.G. it's like watching a cartoon!
Hope it happens though, could be good. Will Blue Thunder be next?

Airwolf = B222. Period. Use a modern helicopter? What modern kit is there out there that looks or sounds as sexy, menacing (think it's called "edgy" these days) or...yes I'll say it...cool as a wheels-up 222? Nix.
As for computer graphics, anybody see the Thunderbirds movie? The original series (complete with strings) looked more realistic.

New Airwolf, B222?
Obviously it's got to be a 222...oh, hang on a minute.
222 with Lycomings - great for ground shots - perhaps a 230 if we actually want to go flying for more than 15 minutes a month...no, hang on, i've changed my mind again - hows about a 430 on the basis of the larger cabin to provide better wheelchair access for Ernest Borgnine? He is 90 now you know!!!

When it’s an AIRWOLF™ then it’s a Bell, what people are thinking about.
What else could it be?
A stolen Comanche prototype? That would probably make a good story but would have cheesy computer animation instead of real helicopter footage.
Or a Kamov:
Personally I think the Bell 430 is the way to go.
Every other helicopter wouldn’t be associated with Airwolf.
When it has to be a non military and non Bell model, than I could think of the EC-155.
No, no … I want it old school!

According to other threads here on rotorheads about BELL the new Airwolf should be a Eurocopter
NO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Airwolf can't be a wrongtwistedfrench
Maybe Bell was thinking of that when they desite to have a clamshell door on the new 429
I think the Comanche is the only thin other than Bell that is fit for the job

Someone out there should know something apart from that tv show web site.
Does Jetcopters inc, at Van Nuys Airport still exist. Maybe they have been called to talk about a new movie?
Anybody know someone at Universal Pictures?
