After The Invisible Man, I've been excited to see what's next for Leigh Whannell, so I'm happy to report that his Wolf Man officially has its star and an October 2024 release date! Christopher Abbott (Poor Things, It Comes At Night) has been cast in the new version of Universal's classic monster, that centers on "a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator."
The film was written by Whannell & Corbett Tuck and Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo (Dumb Money). Jason Blum is producing the film, with Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell set as executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
The film is Whannell’s second Universal Monsters movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3). Just in time for Halloween, Wolf Man is set for a theatrical release on October 25, 2024.
