"We were attacked... I think my husband was infected." Universal has debuted the full official trailer for the new Wolf Man movie, arriving in theaters January 2025 early next year. The shorter teaser debuted just last month, but there's plenty more frightening footage to see here. Produced by Jason Blum & Blumhouse, this a fresh update on the classic Universal Monster originally invented with the 1941 film The Wolf Man. Most recently there was the 2010 remake called The Wolfman starring Benicio Del Toro (anyone remember it?) plus tons of other werewolf flicks. From Blumhouse and visionary writer-director Leigh Whannell, the creators of the chilling modern monster tale The Invisible Man, comes a terrifying new lupine nightmare: Wolf Man. The new tagline: "What if someone you loved became something else?" A man must save himself and his family when they are stalked, terrorized, and haunted by a deadly werewolf at night during a full moon.

Even a man who is pure of heart, and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms, and the moon is full and bright. Or so says the poem in 1941's "The Wolf Man," the Universal classic that starred Lon Chaney Jr. as Lawrence Talbot, an unlucky guy who gets bit by a werewolf and finds himself turning into a monster when the moon is full. It's a moody, gothic movie that pretty much gave birth to werewolf tropes as we know them today.
"The Wolf Man" was remade in 2010 as "The Wolfman," and while that film boasted some great practical makeup effects work from the legendary Rick Baker, it was a bit of a mess due to studio meddling, and the end result underperformed at the box office (the film also committed the mortal sin of nixing some of Baker's practical makeup to use some terrible CGI). Now,...

The Oscar for Best Makeup and Hairstyling is particularly tough to predict early on because of the complicated system by which the nominees are determined in two stages. First, upwards of 15 members of the branch who attend special screenings cast preferential ballots with the top 10 vote-getters moving on to the second stage (it was a lucky seven till 2021). Those members from the first stage and any other members who either attend screenings of excerpts from these semi-finalists or attest that they have seen them cast preferential ballots and the top five films are nominated; that is up from three in years past. (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2025 Oscar predictions for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.)
The award for Best Makeup was introduced in 1981, following an outcry over the lack of recognition for Christopher Tucker‘s groundbreaking work on “The Elephant Man” (1980). Hairstylists began sharing the award with makeup artists in 1993 when “Mrs. Doubtfire” won.

This past weekend, Universal released the first teaser trailer for their upcoming remake of the 1941 classic The Wolfman. This reimagining of the character sets the story in the modern day, similar to the 2020 remake of The Invisible Man, also directed by Leigh Whannell.
The official Wolf Man synopsis reads:
Golden Globe nominee 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, fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger.
But as the family approaches the farmhouse in the dead of night, they’re attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate escape, barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. As the night stretches on, however,...

Early next year, Universal and Blumhouse will continue their reanimation of the Universal Monsters with the release of director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man. Whannell, who also directed Insidious 3 and Upgrade for Blumhouse, was the man responsible for bringing The Invisible Man back to life in 2020. He did so with a modern twist on the character that turned out to be more than just a moderate success. The Invisible Man raked in $144 million on a $7 million budget, receiving mostly positive reviews.
With horror doing better than ever at the box office and Whannell arguably without a miss on his directing resume, hopes are high for Wolf Man, howling into theaters on January 17, 2025.
But this isn’t the first time a modern Wolf Man project sounded good on paper…

Universal’s “Wolf Man” returns.
The new movie, producd by Jason Blum and his Blumhouse Productions shingle, arrives in theaters on January 17, 2025. But a brand-new teaser, perfectly timed for spooky season, shines a light on what to expect from the latest iteration of the story that first arrived in 1941. Watch the trailer below.
More of a teaser than anything else, this new “Wolf Man” stars Christopher Abbott as Lawrence “Larry” Talbot, the character played by Lon Chaney Jr. in the original film and most recently potrayed by Benicio del Toro in 2010’s “The Wolfman.” In this iteration, he’s a young husband and father who is attempting to protect his family from a nocturnal creature. Julia Garner (“Ozark”), who also appears in a “Rosemary’s Baby” prequel for Paramount+ this fall, is his wife.

After a busy August with the Season 2 premiere of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” which continues throughout September with new episodes through Oct. 3, “Batman: Caped Crusader,” and more, Amazon streaming services Prime Video and Freevee will have a comparably quiet September.
Most of the action for the month will come from Prime Video’s sports options. After the Sept. 5 Kickoff Game at Arrowhead Stadium with the defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs going up against the Baltimore Ravens, Prime Video’s third season of Thursday Night Football begins with AFC East champs Buffalo Bills taking on the Miami Dolphins in Miami. The WNBA and Nwsl also continue their seasons on Prime Video, with matches all month long from New York Liberty, Phoenix Mercury, Angel City Fc, and more top teams.

Attention: The Following Report Is A Rumor. Please Take The Following Story With A Grain Of Salt.
Universal’s push to revive its brand of classic horror movie monsters is slowly gaining momentum. After the disappointment that was the 2017 remake of The Mummy, Universal decided to go in a different direction with the 2020 remake of The Invisible Man. Universal partnered with horror movie studio Blumhouse Productions, known for the Paranormal Activity franchise. This tactic played out well, with the film making $144.5 million on a $7 million budget.
With one of Universal’s new lands at their upcoming Epic Universe theme park being themed after their classic monsters, you can bet that they are attempting to reinvigorate these characters on the big screen.
In addition to Blumhouse’s current work on a remake of The Wolfman for 2025, Universal is apparently working with them on another remake, and this time, they are bringing the big guns.

Joe Johnston’s 1991 superhero movie The Rocketeer begins in the usual way, with orange opening credits against a black screen. Only the slight tinkling of piano hints at something greater, little notes of inspiration under the art deco script on display. Sure enough, after the title reveal, the score pauses. The black screen is revealed to actually be the doors of a hangar bay, and the strings in James Horner’s score rise to a crescendo. They are announcing the hopes hanging on the yellow biplane that emerges.
A warm, confident scene of pilot Cliff Secord (Billy Campbell) proving to his mechanic Peevey (Alan Arkin) and their pals that he’s got what it takes to win a race is an odd way to open a superhero movie, even one of the pulp-inspired films that Hollywood cranked out after Batman hit it big in 1989.

Exclusive: Dumb Money scribes and EPs Rebecca Angelo and Lauren Schuker Blum are opening thier own new production company, Business Affairs (BA) which will be overseen by Emily Rappaport, the director/screenwriter of the upcoming Lena Dunham and Maude Apatow movie, Female Friendship, and a book-to-film scout vet.
BA’s first project, which Angelo, Schuker Blum and Rappaport will write under their female-power shingle, is Winner Stays, about the historic women’s national basketball team that paved the way for the creation of the WNBA.
The film will follow the true story of the 1996 women’s national team that made sports history with its year-long undefeated season, and its leader, Tara VanDerveer, the “winningest” NCAA basketball coach of all time. The team set the stage for the launch of the WNBA by reclaiming the gold medal for the U.S. at the Olympic Games in Atlanta after a string of international losses.

“How dark do you want to go?” The man asking that is named Karsh (Vincent Cassel), and he’s seated in a minimalist art-chic restaurant having lunch with a blind date. The one who’s really asking the question, though, is David Cronenberg, writer-director of “The Shrouds.” He’s been asking that question — to audiences — for his entire career, and to him the answer has always been the same: The darker the better.
Yet Cronenberg has a special brand of dark. In “The Shrouds,” Karsh is a businessman who produces industrial videos, with a sleek Toronto apartment that looks out at the Cn Tower, but he’s also a co-owner of the restaurant they’re sitting in, and the purveyor of what’s in the garden next to it: a cemetery where the gravestones are technological devices, and the corpses are draped in futuristic shrouds that allow you to peer...

Julia Garner has joined Josh Brolin on Weapons, the new film from the director of Barbarian, Zach Cregger.
Julia Garner has been announced as the leading name in the ensemble for Zach Cregger’s soon-to-shoot horror project, Weapons.
We first learned about the film around a year ago when it became the subject of a heated bidding war. Cregger was coming of the back of 2022’s Barbarian, one of the buzziest horror films of that year. Barbarian didn’t just announce an exciting new voice in the horror genre, it also performed commercially earning $45m worldwide, amounting to around ten times its production budget.
With horror being seen as one of the only remaining genres to reliably pull audiences into cinemas, the success of Cregger’s film saw several studios keen to secure his future services. New Line CInema duly won out and around a year ago, the filmmaker’s next feature was announced.

Remakes are always a tricky proposition. Some of the greats both in the horror genre and elsewhere are actually remakes, whether it’s a loose one or not. Be it The Magnificent Seven coming from Seven Samurai or The Thing being birthed into imitation dog from the Christian Nyby and Howard Hawks original. I talk about The Thing A Lot but obviously it’s for a reason. You could also throw The Fly in that same category too while we are here. Those are some of the examples of the good but unfortunately, things can go downhill and fast. You have harmless ones like the Friday the 13th remake or Texas Chainsaw, the annoyingly unnecessary like Halloween and Amityville Horror, or the egregiously awful like The Fog and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Like them or loathe them, or in our case both, they are here to stay, and each...

Universal has struggled to in recent years to bring back its classic horror franchises like Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolfman, The Mummy, etc., attempts that were perhaps too literal. But thanks to the filmmaking collective known as Radio Silence they have, with Abigail, perhaps stumbled onto a way to keep the party going. In this case it is back to the immortal vampire story to end them all, Dracula, but here the bloodsucking title star is his 12-year-old daughter, not the infamous man himself who is reduced to a mere cameo.
Last year the studio tried a variation on the tale with Renfield, which starred Nicholas Hoult as the sidekick to Nicolas Cage’s campy take on the legend but lost its way. I am happy to report that using a blend of a heist flick married to ghoulish and grand over-the-top supernatural bloodletting does the trick in Abigail, a movie...

The 2010 remake of The Wolfman was a bomb, 2014’s Dracula Untold underperformed and the 2017 remake of The Mummy killed off the Dark Universe before it even began. However, the 2020 interpretation of The Invisible Man was rather well received and financially successful.
Now, as Universal attempts to reinvigorate the brand with a 2024 The Wolfman film and the Dark Universe section at Epic Universe, a beloved classic will be returning to theaters for its 25th Anniversary. The 1999 versions of The Mummy will be returning to the big screen this April in partnership with AMC.
The 1999 Mummy starred Oscar winner Brendan Frasier and Rachel Weisz. Set in 1932, the lost city of Hamunaptra is discovered and plundered for its many treasures. Among the decaying buildings and dark hallways rests the mummy of the high priest Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo). The explorers accidentally awaken him,...

I am of that age that still thinks the 80s was 30 years ago and that the 90s just happened. Strange as that logic is, there’s nothing like movie anniversaries to pull me back into reality. Last episode we looked at In the Mouth of Madness and its impact now going strong 30 years later. That flick though, like most of John Carpenter’s catalogue, was something that was already out when I started my movie journey. I had already seen it on VHS and on TV from time to time which puts it in another category altogether. Move ahead just 5 short years to 1999, one of the greatest years in cinema history, and we start getting that 25 years of existence that puts that nice existential crisis right into my gut. Today we are going to look at one of those movies that probably isn’t considered a traditional horror movie but is absolutely horrific in nature.

The well known horror film studio Blumhouse Productions has officially begun production of their latest reimagining of the Universal Monsters universe with The Wolf Man. Director Leigh Whannell, who directed the 2020 reboot of The Invisible Man, is now sinking his teeth into the world of the iconic lycanthrope creature. He shared via his social media that principal photography has begun.

Emily Blunt has had one of the most successful careers in Hollywood. From The Devil Wears Prada, to A Quiet Place, and now Oppenheimer, versatility is one of her strongest suits. She has played serious role, funny roles, complex roles, and even a flying woman. Through her talent, she has earned respect and an Oscar nomination, proving herself to be a force to be reckoned with.
Emily Blunt as Kitty Oppenheimer in Oppenheimer
However, there will always come a movie in an actor’s career, which will tank in ratings and be a massive flop. The experience is unavoidable, and unfortunately Blunt is not exempt from it. In 2010, the actress starred in a movie called The Wolfman. The film was a massive flop and found it very difficult to maintain relevant.

They say “In space no one can hear you scream.” Buuuuuuuut we’ve seen through eight Alien films that if you’re in a spaceship plenty of people can hear you scream. The Xenomorphs have no problem causing their victims a lot of pain. Even though we’ve seen them in a lot of films, fans will mostly agree that after Aliens, the franchise was never the same. But did you know that District 9 director Neill Blomkamp almost made an Aliens sequel?
In 2015, filmmaker Blomkamp announced he had been working on a new Alien project. This was even a surprise to Fox, which owned the series. Fans seemed excited by the prospect of the director taking on the project after the imaginative sci-fi films he had been releasing. Ultimately, after some starts and stops, the film would fall apart. Let’s find out exactly why here on What Happened To This Unmade Movie?...

Sony on Tuesday said its third movie in the Venom franchise now has a name and a new release date: It’s called Venom: The Last Dance, and it’s now opening October 25 this year, not November 8.
The threequel will screen in Imax and on PLFs.
Kelly Marcel directs Tom Hardy, who plays the black widow creature for a third time. Marcel also wrote the screenplay with a story she co-penned with Hardy. Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Amy Pascal, Hutch Parker, Marcel and Hardy are producing.
Juno Temple and Chiwetel Ejiofor also star.
Venom 3 moves away from 20th Century Studios’ The Amateur and lands on the same theatrical release date as Universal/Blumhouse’s The Wolfman and Cinedigm’s Terrifier 3.
All in, the previous two Venom movies have grossed $1.36 billion at the global box office.

Monsterverse vs Dceu
Since debuting in 2013, the DC Extended Universe has been one disaster after another for Warner Brothers. Massive critical and fan backlash, constant shake-ups in creative direction, and increasingly dwindling box office plagued the once promising franchise before it was finally put out of its misery by The Flash; though Blue Beetle and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom might still be canon depending on who you ask.
Yet at the same time, WB has helped spearhead another cinematic universe that might be the only one besides Marvel to work out in the long run. The Monsterverse: a series of films and TV shows adapting beloved Japanese kaiju such as Godzilla, alongside original monsters and American icon King Kong for good measure.

When the moon is full the legend comes to life. Awhooooooo!
Sad as we are to end our Werewolf Waltz so soon, we’re closing another chapter in the Graveyard Smash podcast series, talking about our favorite dog boy, as portrayed in The Wolfman (2010). Doomed from the start (as all werewolves are) this modern retelling of the Universal Monster classic offers up Academy Award winning makeup, and some killer wolfy mayhem….amidst a deeply confused story. Anthony Hopkins gave it his all, Benicio del Toro gave it some more, and yet- The Wolfman is far from perfect. Oh, Emily Blunt is here too lol.
Look, it’s easy to dunk on this misguided remake but, honestly, it still slaps. Sure, it drops pretty much every ball it tries to put in the air, and yes, it doesn’t really know what to do with its main villain, but hot damn...

Derek Cianfrance will direct Roofman, the story of Jeffrey Manchester who committed a string of bizarre robberies in the 90s.
Derek Cianfrance, the acclaimed director behind Blue Valentine and The Place Beyond The Pines, has finally set up his next project. The news comes via Jeff Sneider’s newsletter (spotted by World Of Reel).
The director recently left the new The Wolfman film, which will see Ryan Gosling in the title role. He originally replaced Leigh Whannell as the director, but it’s now being reported that Whannell is back in the director’s chair for Universal’s monster movie.
With his schedule now free, Cianfrance is eyeing up the story of Jeffrey Manchester, a man who robbed McDonald’s restaurants in the 90s while living in a branch of Toys R Us. Manchester would break into the restaurants through the roof – hence the film’s title, Roofman – and wait...

Bloody Disgusting’s 12 Days of Creepmas is nearly at an end, so it’s time to bring out the big guns in holiday horror. The 2nd Day of Creepmas brings a pair of gateway horror-comedies that will keep you busy from Christmas through New Year’s Eve.
When it comes to holiday horror, few can beat Joe Dante’s Gremlins. The charming 1984 classic decks the halls with holiday theming but it’s also unafraid to show its sharp pointy teeth. Dante’s sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, takes a drastically different direction, but its high energy and anything goes attitude make a strong case for annual New Year’s viewing.
The 12 Days of Creepmas continues on Bloody Disgusting, this time with 2 Gremlins movies to keep your holidays going through the New Year.

Universal’s new Wolf Man film has drafted Christopher Abbott in to replace Ryan Gosling: more here.
Universal hasn’t had a lot of luck with Wolf Man films over the past 15 years or so. 2010’s The Wolfman was loved by pretty much nobody by the time it emerged, and any hope of a follow-up was quickly extinguished.
More recently, the studio has been trying to get the whole shebang up and running again, and seemed to be enjoying some luck.
Blumhouse had been working on the project, and continues to do so, partnering with the studio and at one point luring Derek Cianfrance to direct. He dropped out, and The Invisible Man and Upgrade director Leigh Whannell is a more than able substitute.
The problem was that Ryan Gosling had been the high profile capture to take on the leading role in the film. Yet it now turns...

Universal's "Wolf Man" remake, a project that's long remained in various stages of development over the years, is finally rounding into shape. Last we heard, the film was going to star Ryan Gosling as the eponymous Universal monster with "The Place Beyond the Pines" filmmaker Derek Cianfrance in the director's chair, taking over for original director Leigh Whannell (who had proven himself as a brilliant fit in this new Monster-verse with his 2020 reimagining of "The Invisible Man") after the latter departed due to scheduling conflicts. Well, I hope you weren't too invested in that news because it seems the studio has gone back to the drawing board and emerged with an even more exciting version of the movie.

According to a report, Universal’s Ryan Gosling-starring take on The Wolfman has regained its original director, Leigh Whannell.
In the bizarro world of Hollywoodland, the dust may be settling from an earth-quaking six months of strikes but we’re still feeling regular aftershocks.
The other day we learned that Quentin Tarantino’s next film was facing a significant delay, but today’s story has taken an especially leftfield turn.
According to World of Reel, a listing on Production Weekly has revealed that Leigh Whannell is back in the director’s chair for The Wolfman, Universal’s modern spin on the classic werewolf character that has been in some kind of development for at least three years.
It’s been quite a while since we heard anything regarding this project so here’s a quick refresher: back in February of 2020, Leigh Whannell’s modern take on The Invisible Man was released to positive reviews.

Some of the movies we talk about have opinions fueled by nostalgia if they are good or reputation if they are bad. Of course, everything is subjective when speaking about how you feel about a movie. It can be tied to events in your life that make you happy or sad. You can enjoy it on the strength of an actor, writer, or director you enjoy being involved or hate it for those exact reasons on a creator not being your favorite. Some things are irrefutable though such as box office or critical appraisal. Van Helsing (watch it Here) was the culmination of what Stephen Sommers had been working towards with tales of fantasy like The Adventures of Huck Finn...

Nearly every culture in the world has contributed to the horror genre at one point or another, but it’s pretty clear that Hollywood is still the de facto capital of genre filmmaking. That’s why it makes sense that most popular horror tropes and monsters are based on traditional western mythology and religions, as these films are usually made by – and meant to appeal to – a certain demographic.
However, dealing with the same old ghouls and possessions can get old after a hundred and thirty years of cinema, and that’s why we’re lucky that some filmmakers decide to incorporate elements from lesser-known cultures into their scary stories. Whether it’s a foreign film daring to apply the “Hollywood” treatment to a local monster or a north American production taking inspiration from international legends (like Bishal Dutta’s recent It Lives Inside), some of the best horror experiences...

Michael Fassbender, Charles Parnell, Arliss Howard, Sophie Charlotte and Tilda Swinton star.

Who doesn't love David Fincher? I did not love "Mank." But I still love David Fincher, and I know you do too. However you feel about that last feature, it's been a while since Fincher had a real consensus banger, and that's the kind of film he's known for. Viewers loved his Netflix series "Mindhunter", but hey, that's television, and Fincher only directed seven out of 19 episodes. Could "The Killer" slingshot Fincher back to the top of the American auteur pyramid, knocking the likes of Paul Thomas Anderson, Steven Soderbergh, Gina Prince-Bythewood, or any of his other Gen X competitors off the top spot?
That remains to be seen. But we do have a new trailer for the film, a follow-up of the trailer Netflix released way back at the end of August. There have been more developments than the mere release of a second trailer since then, too. People have seen the movie.

The "Saw" and "Insidious" writer's 2020 reboot was the first of its kind after Universal's infamous putting of the cart before the horse with the Dark Universe (although we did get a hilariously incomplete trailer featuring Tom Cruise screaming on a plane for our troubles). Abandoning the shared universe concept, Whannell's "Invisible Man" re-imagines its source material -- both the original 1897 H.G. Wells novel and Universal's 1933 film adaptation -- as an incredibly timely story about domestic abuse, gaslighting, and tech-powered violence. The result is a taut sci-fi horror/thriller that boasts some remarkable low-budget filmmaking (as well as one of the most shocking kills put to screen in recent memory).
Despite hitting theaters right before the global Covid-19 lockdowns, "The Invisible Man" managed to gross nearly 20 times its $7 million budget. It was exactly the...

MeTV is celebrating its second annual “Svengoolie’s Halloween BOOnanza,” and TV Insider had the chance to sit with the maestro of the spooky to talk about his essential horror viewing for the macabre holiday. When we asked, “What are your five essential scary horror moves that you’d recommend for everyone to watch this October,” Rich Koz (A.K.A. Svengoolie) replied, “Well, first, your chance of any one of the original first appearances of the Universal Monsters, be it Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula, The Mummy, The Wolfman, and of course, The Creature From The Black Lagoon.” Naturally, these are the cornerstones of cinematic horror, and as Svengoolie says above, “and you need to respect that!” For his second choice, he quickly chooses “The Blob, a truly original horror from the ’50s.” And third, “the original Invaders From Mars, very similar to the Invaders of the Body Snatchers,...

Folks don’t usually associate the horror genre with fighting games, but the popularity of fan-made creations like TerrorDrome and the success of horror-based licensed characters in titles like Mortal Kombat prove that there is a market for this kind of hybrid experience. In fact, at one point there was a popular series of games that capitalized on monster movie thrills when coming up with its roster of supernatural fighters in what can basically summed up as a goth rendition of Street Fighter.
Naturally, I’m referring to Capcom’s Darkstalkers (also known as Vampire in Japan), a collection of arcade fighting games that were all the rage back in the 90s but slowly faded into obscurity as the pubic became enamored with three-dimensional action. And as other fighting franchises continue to expand their aging legacy well into the 2020s, I thought that this might be the perfect time to...

In the wake of failing to recoup its budget with just $15 million worldwide at the box office, Universal’s The Last Voyage of the Demeter has now been surprise-released at home.
On Digital, you can rent the film for $19.99 or purchase it for $24.99.
Directed by André Øvredal (The Autopsy of Jane Doe, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark), this latest Dracula movie leaves the comedy of Renfield behind for a classic, Hammer-style horror movie at sea. The film is an adaptation of a single chapter from Bram Stoker’s classic horror novel, known as “The Captain’s Log,” which has never been adapted like this before.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter is unfortunately another financial misfire for the Universal Monsters, which have been largely unable to find box office success in recent years.
Universal has been having a hell of a time reintroducing audiences to the classic titans of the genre,...
