Wolf Man Nabs Julia Garner To Co-Star In Blumhouse Film
Wolf Man has found its co-lead, as Ozark star Julia Garner has hopped aboard the Blumhouse film. It is out on October 24th.
Article Summary
- Julia Garner joins Christopher Abbott in Blumhouse's 'Wolf Man', releasing October 24th.
- 'Invisible Man' director Leigh Whannell helms the film with a modern twist on the classic tale.
- Ryan Gosling transitions from lead actor to executive producer after late 2023 shake-up.
- 'Wolf Man' storyline shrouded in mystery, promises an iconic creature design beyond a "big dog".
Wolf Man is coming together. Bumhouse's stab at the Universal Monster icon already has Christopher Abbott set as the lead, and today, THR reports that Ozark star Julia Garner will star opposite him. The film will see their family being stalked and tortured by the hairy creature. Leigh Whannell, who helmed the Blumhouse Invisible Man remake in 2020, is directing. Ryan Gosling was starring at one point, and his friend and collaborator Derek Cianfrance was directing. Things changed late in 2023. The release date for the film is set for October 24th of this year.
Wolf Man For Modern Times
Wolf Man has a script from Whannell, Corbett Tuck, Lauren Schuker Blum, and Rebecca Angelo. As far as the plot, details are under wraps, but THR says it will focus on a man defending his family from a beast. Will Abbott become the Wolf Man after some kind of fight? Will he and his family be fighting the hairy, bipedal creature? This remains to be seen. Jason Blum will produce from Blumhouse, and Gosling will also receive an executive producer's credit.
The last time we saw the Wolf Man on screen was the not-great Benicio Del Toro one. While not a good film by any stretch, it had its moments. Mostly, I just wished that the monster looked better. That is all I care about here; we need a great design. Not just a big-looking dog, an actual Wolf Man, please. This will have to be in production soon, so as more casting happens, we will surely bring it to you, especially whoever will be playing the title character, at least at first. You know Abbott is going feral at some point.
