The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell tries his hand at another classic Universal monster with Wolf Man. Arriving in January 2025, the new take on the classic werewolf story finds It Comes at Night‘s Christopher Abbott discovering his feral side as the titular character.
The Blumhouse horror film stars Julia Garner (Apartment 7A), Matlida Firth (Coma), Sam Jaeger (The Handmaid’s Tale), Ben Prendergast, and Benedict Hardie (The Invisible Man). The cast also includes Zac Chandler, Beatriz Romilly, and Milo Cawthorne.
“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 (Garner), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Firth),” reads Universal’s synopsis.
“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, 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 opens in theaters on January 17, 2025.
Whannell co-wrote the screenplay with Corbett Tuck, with Ryan Gosling and Jason Blum producing. Executive producers include Whannell, Beatriz Sequeira, Mel Turner, and Ken Kao.
