Footage, New Interview with John Carpenter About ‘The Ward’!
Courtesy of French film website Blog Didier Allouch you’ll find an extremely lengthy new interview with iconic horror director John Carpenter who chats about The Ward, his highly anticipated return to the genre he took to new heights back in 1978 with Halloween. The interview begins at around the 2:50 mark and also features some behind-the-scenes footage. Starring Amber Heard (Zombieland, Many Lane, The Stepfather) and Danielle Panabaker (Friday the 13th), The Ward follows a girl (Heard) who is admitted to a psychiatric ward, meets other girls there with distinct personalities and discovers a mysterious girl haunting the halls at night. The last time Carpenter got behind the camera for a feature film was for Ghost of Mars 8 years ago, although he helmed two (excellent) episodes of “Masters of Horror” (“Cigarette Burns”, “Pro-Life”).
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.
