[News Bites] TV Edition: A New Character For “American Horror Story” And A New Start For “Dexter”
Wherein I give you two updates that were too small to warrant their own posts. First off? The Seventh Season of “Dexter” now has the air-date of September 30th at 9pm ET/PT. Will his sister Deborah still be in love with him now that she knows he’s a serial killer? OMG that show seems to have gone nuts (I didn’t catch Season Six – let me know if it’s as crazy as it sounds in the comments).
Secondly. There’s a new character coming to “American Horror Story”. And she earns the “double Angelina Jolie reference” award. Per TV Line, “The series regular character, Gia, is described as a fierce, ferocious, extremely sexual and dangerous wild-child sexpot who harbors a secret — “think Angelina Jolie in Girl, Interrupted,” reads the casting notice.”
Seems like they definitely have a specific image in mind.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
