About Wolf Man Movie:
Wolf Man is an American horror film directed and co-written by Leigh Whannell. A reboot of The Wolf Man, the film stars Christopher Abbott, Julia Garner, Matilda Firth, Sam Jaeger, Benedict Hardie, Ben Prendergast, Zac Chandler, Beatriz Romilly, and Milo Cawthorne.
The film was announced in 2014 and was to be part of a shared cinematic universe centered on the Universal Monsters. Aaron Guzikowski and David Callaham were attached to pen the script. After the failure of The Mummy (2017), Universal shifted its focus to standalone films.
The success of Whannell’s The Invisible Man (2020) rekindled Universal’s interest in the Monsters franchise. They accepted a pitch by Ryan Gosling, who was also set to star, for a new Wolf Man film with Derek Cianfrance to direct. However, Gosling dropped out of the role and Cianfrance left the project in 2023, while Whannell took over as director.
Filming took place in New Zealand in early 2024. Jason Blum and Gosling, the former for Blumhouse Productions, serve as producers on the film.
Wolf Man is scheduled to be released in the United States on January 17, 2025. It was previously scheduled to be released on October 25, 2024. The film’s Hollywood premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre on January 7 was canceled because of the Palisades Fire.
