Dear fellow horror enthusiasts, I can’t help but feel a twinge of melancholy as we approach the new year and the promise of yet another spine-tingling journey into the unknown. As someone who’s spent countless nights huddled under the covers, eyes glued to the screen during marathon sessions of Saw and Insidious, I can attest that Leigh Whannell has a knack for crafting tales that make every month feel like Halloween.
To our valued audience, we’ve reached the time on the clock when the frightening delights of cinema seem to multiply, not just with the current chills, but also with a peek at the forthcoming movies in 2025 that promise more shivers. Leigh Whannell, the co-writer and director, excels in this dual role, as his work on franchises such as Saw and Insidious can make any month feel like Halloween.
After catching a glimpse of his revamped Wolf Man by Universal/Blumhouse in the video earlier, it appears that next January will be dealing with quite a nightmare scenario. Despite my excitement for this new project, I can’t help but feel a tinge of disappointment that the original idea didn’t come to fruition as planned.
Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man Is Going To Be A Heartbreaker, Isn’t It?
The initial trailer from Universal for the movie “Wolf Man” portrays a rather ominous scene. It begins with eerie Praying Mantis symbolism and later reveals fragments of peril that befall a particular family. The story revolves around Blake (Christopher Abbott) and his professional wife Charlotte (Julia Garner), who are attempting to rekindle their marriage through a family trip. They elect to take their daughter Ginger (Matlida Firth) to a cabin Blake recently inherited as part of their getaway.
Absolutely, this secluded spot seems to be the perfect backdrop for an enigma surrounding Blake’s father’s vanishing/demise. And just as a classic trope in a werewolf tale unfolds, it feels like nature itself is about to unleash a ferocious beast upon him. A chilling suspicion starts to gnaw at the back of my mind: It seems increasingly likely that Blake might not survive this ordeal, leaving Charlotte and Ginger, perhaps, with the grim responsibility of ending his journey.
This seems quite dismal, and I have a sense that the deep terror will be matched with equally profound sadness. Which is what I admire about contemporary horror movies like “Wolf Man,” as they appear to weave emotionally perceptive stories within bleak spectacles.
Frankly speaking, the initial idea that sparked everything is still deeply entrenched in my emotions. And just for a brief moment, let me express regret over another potential Ryan Gosling production that never came to fruition.
RIP – Ryan Gosling’s Network Inspired Wolf Man
Friends, today we gather at the Dark Universe Cemetery to lay to rest another idea with great potential, which unfortunately never made it past the starting line. Back in 2020, the initial Ryan Gosling proposal for a film titled Wolf Man set things in motion that led us to the project we see here today.
Initially, the decision to cast Sir Baby Goose was what hooked me on this project. But when I read a description hinting at a “Network/Nightcrawler” atmosphere, featuring a character who transforms into a network anchor, it had me laughing with anticipation for this concept to unfold. Essentially, you won’t be able to keep calm about the idea of a “Network/Nightcrawler” fusion, served with a side of “The Howling” for good measure.
It seems that the initial intriguing play about peril may have taken a different turn. I suspect two key factors might be at play here. First, when Leigh Whannell was hired for Wolf Man, his writing team (including himself, Corbett Tuck, Lauren Schuker Blum, and Rebecca Angelo) abandoned the nightly news angle in favor of a more family-centric approach. This shift appears to have collided with Ryan Gosling’s preference for lighter roles, possibly explaining why he declined the project.
“Wolf Man” is poised to scratch its viewers with terrifying claws, debuting in theaters on January 17th. For those eagerly anticipating the latest horror offerings, consider our guide as a chilling sneak peek into the future of fearsome films.
