“This film is my tribute to the 80s movies I loved growing up.” Universal has unveiled a 2-minute making of featurette for Leigh Whannell’s fresh Wolf Man movie, landing in theaters in January 2025. Just around the corner! Produced by Blumhouse, this a fresh update on the classic furry Universal Monster originally invented in the 1941 film The Wolf Man. “What if someone you loved became something else?” What would you do? A man must save himself and his family when they are stalked, terrorized, and haunted by a deadly werewolf at night – but something else is going on with him, too. Christopher Abbott co-stars with Julia Garner, plus Sam Jaeger, Matilda Firth, Ben Prendergast, and Benedict Hardie. This promo video features Leigh and his cinematographer Stefan Duscio discussing making the movie, including his biggest horror inspirations for it – The Fly and The Thing. They also hype up the slick cinematography and intense sound design: “I just wanted it to be an aural assault.” Yep this is looking so damn good. Can’t wait to watch.

Here’s the “New Era Of Terror” featurette for Leigh Whannell’s film Wolf Man, direct from YouTube:

Christopher Abbott stars as Blake, a San Francisco husband and father, who inherits his remote childhood home in rural Oregon after his own father vanishes and is presumed dead. With his marriage to his high-powered wife, Charlotte (Julia Garner), fraying, Blake persuades her to take a break from the city and visit the property with their daughter, Ginger (Matlida Firth). But as the family approaches the farmhouse in the dead of night, they’re attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate escape, they barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. As the night stretches on, however, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable, and Charlotte will be forced to decide whether the terror within their house is more lethal than the danger without. Wolf Man is directed by acclaimed Australian filmmaker Leigh Whannell, director of the films Insidious: Chapter 3, Upgrade, and The Invisible Man previously; writer for the Saw series, Dead Silence, The Mule. The screenplay is written by Leigh Whannell & Corbett Tuck, Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo. Inspired by the 1941 classic The Wolf Man. Produced by Jason Blum (and executive produced by Ryan Gosling!). Universal will debut Whannell’s Wolf Man movie in theaters nationwide starting on January 17th, 2025 early next year.
