Two More TV Spots from Uni’s ‘The Wolfman’

Published

on

This past Weekend Universal pictures unloaded a slew of new TV spots for their forthcoming The Wolfman reboot that were featured during the NFL Playoffs. Below you’ll find another two spots, along with the first that hit the web Sunday night. Plagued by negative press, it’ll be interesting to see how Joe Johnston’s hairy flick does when it hits theaters on February 12. Can a big PR push overcome the chatter? Benicio del Toro stars as the transforming beast.
Like the 1941 original that starred Lon Chaney Jr., new pic will be set in Victorian England. Del Toro will play a man who returns from America to his ancestral homeland, gets bitten by a werewolf and begins a hairy moonlight existence

Wolf Man 2025

THR reports that Wolf Man will howl its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Christopher Abbott (Poor Things) has been cast in the titular role.

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) will also star.

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.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

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.
