You'd need Guillermo del Toro for that.
Have you seen the effects for Pan's Labyrinth, Crimson Peak or Hellboy? It's rarely CGI, and every creature is designed and the elaboration process is supervised by Del Toro himself.
I'm sure that if someone can pull a kickass werewolf transformation scene, it should be Del Toro. Now we just need to convince him to do something with werewolves.
