Universal Pictures y Blumhouse They started the marketing campaign for the reboot of the horror classic Wolf Mana new installment of Universal's monster universe, with Leigh Whannell as director and co-writer.
This is a horror release that keeps us on the edge of our seats, especially given the work Whannell can do with the material.
- This is Whannell's second collaboration within Universal's monster universe, having made the acclaimed remake The Invisible Man (2020), and the fourth collaboration between Whannell and Blumhouse (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Christopher Abbott (Poor Things, Black Bear, It Comes at Night) y Julia Garner (Ozark, Inventing Anna, The Assistant) co-star in the project that has just revealed its first teaser trailer and official poster, this after an image of the Wolfman that will be used for the Halloween Horror Nights event went viral on social media yesterday. The image in question left everyone with their mouths open, because the Wolfman's look did not meet expectations and left a lot to be desired.
Now, whether that will be the final design of the Werewolf in the film is still unknown, as the teaser doesn't show it yet.
Matilda Firth (Coma, Hullraisers) y Sam Jaeger (The Handmaid’s Tale, Devil in Ohio), complete the cast of the film.
The story centers on a man whose family is being terrorized by a deadly predator..
OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS:
“Christopher Abbott stars as Blake, a San Francisco husband and father who inherits his childhood home in rural Oregon after his own father goes missing and is presumed dead. As his marriage to his powerful wife, Charlotte, frays, Blake convinces Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger.
But as the family approaches the cottage in the dark of night, they are attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate attempt to escape, they barricade themselves inside the house while the creature prowls the perimeter. As the night progresses, however, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable, and Charlotte will be forced to decide if the terror inside her house is more lethal than the danger outside.
The script was written by Whannell & Corbett Tuck, Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angel (Dumb Money).
Jason Blum is producing the feature film, with Ryan Gosling – who was attached to star for three years – Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell serving as executive producers. Blumhouse and Motel Movies are the production companies, with Universal as distributor.
ABOUT UNIVERSAL'S MONSTROUS UNIVERSE
Universal Pictures' monster universe kicked off after the studio scrapped the Dark Universe and its plans for an interconnected monster universe following the failure of the reboot of The MummySince then, the studio has focused on finding viable ways to keep monster characters relevant for a new generation.
The Universal Monster films are rooted in the horror genre, with no restrictions of budget, rating or genre. They are not part of a shared interconnected universe, allowing each film to stand on its own.This new direction is filmmaker-driven and invites innovative filmmakers with original and bold ideas to develop the stories and present these characters. This means that filmmakers will be able to take liberties with the interpretation of the stories to bring them to contemporary audiences.
Universal Pictures set the theatrical release of Wolf Man by January 17, 2025.
