Wolf Man

January 12, 2025

WOLF MAN is a 2025 supernatural horror film directed and co-written by Leigh Whannell. A reboot of The Wolf Man (1941), Jason Blum serves as a producer through his Blumhouse Productions banner.

After the failure of The Mummy (2017), Universal shifted its focus to standalone films. The success of Whannell's The Invisible Man (2020) rekindled Universal's interest in the Monsters franchise. The studio was impressed with a pitch by Ryan Gosling for a new Wolf Man film with Derek Cianfrance to direct. However, Gosling and Cianfrance left the project in 2023, and Whannell took over as director. Filming took place in New Zealand in early 2024.

Family man Blake relocates from San Francisco to Oregon with his workaholic wife Charlotte and daughter Ginger after inheriting his childhood home, following the mysterious disappearance and presumed death of his estranged father. At the farmhouse, the family is attacked by a werewolf that claws Blake's arm. They barricade themselves inside the home, but soon Blake begins to transform, jeopardizing the safety of his wife and daughter.

The cast includes Christopher Abbott, Julia Garner, Matilda Firth, Sam Jaeger, Benedict Hardie, Ben Prendergast, Zac Chandler, Beatriz Romilly, and Milo Cawthorne.

WOLF MAN is set to debut in theaters January 17th, courtesy of Universal Pictures. Watch the official trailer below.
