From the Director of The Invisible Man, #WolfManMovie is in theaters January.

What if someone you loved became something else?

From Blumhouse and visionary writer-director Leigh Whannell, the creators of the chilling modern monster tale The Invisible Man, comes a terrifying new lupine nightmare: Wolf Man.

Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott (Poor Things, It Comes at Night) stars as Blake, a San Francisco husband and father, who inherits his remote childhood home in rural Oregon after his own father vanishes and is presumed dead. With his marriage to his high-powered wife, Charlotte (Emmy winner Julia Garner; Ozark, Inventing Anna), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Matlida Firth; Hullraisers, Coma).

But as the family approaches the farmhouse in the dead of night, they’re attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate escape, barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. As the night stretches on, however, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable, and Charlotte will be forced to decide whether the terror within their house is more lethal than the danger without.

The film co-stars Sam Jaeger (The Handmaid’s Tale), Ben Prendergast (The Sojourn Audio Drama) and Benedict Hardie (The Invisible Man).

Wolf Man is directed by Whannell, whose previous films with Blumhouse include The Invisible Man, Upgrade and Insidious: Chapter 3. The screenplay is written by Leigh Whannell & Corbett Tuck, Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo (Dumb Money).

The film is produced by Blumhouse founder and CEO Jason Blum and is executive produced by Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Leigh Whannell. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

Agreed, I loved the casting but was a bit disappointed with the movie itself but I’m glad they’re bringing him back for more.

I’ve been looking forward to this for a while. I never would’ve considered Colin Farrell for The Penguin but he pulled it off in what limited screen time he got in The Batman. So at the very least, we’re in for a good performance. I just hope the writing will be on par with The Batman.

Oh well. I guess this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise considering the show’s disinterest in the source material and Paramount’s precarious position these days.

I’ve never seen Doctor Who.

You say you've never even seen Doctor Who before so by your own admission your opinion is uninformed and therefore offers nothing of substance. This is a community for discussing movies and television. Not your personal soapbox for airing your uninformed culture war grievances. Take that somewhere else.

It's a biopic about getting Rocky made.

The official logline for “I Play Rocky” reads: “A struggling actor with a partially paralyzed face and a speech impediment writes a script that a big movie studio wants to buy, but he refuses to sell it unless he gets to play the lead. Turning down an offer of life-changing money, he instead works for pennies to get the movie made with himself in the starring role. The movie becomes the biggest box office hit of 1976, garnering 10 Academy Award nominations and winning Best Picture.”

But even without that context I don't understand why that'd be strange. Loads of biopics have been made about famous actors who've appeared in lots of films with a much less interesting story than how Sly brought Rocky to the screen by gambling on himself.

Jeff Bridges as the least grumpy version of Harrison Ford ever portrayed on film!

No. She's been in custody since she was convicted on March 6th which is 17 months short of her 18 month sentence.

Nested comments are so much easier to follow with this UI. I find it very difficult to keep my place in conversations using the default lemmy front end on desktop which is why I've stuck with photon or alexandrite. But I will absolutely be using this UI as soon as it's fully functional. It looks great so far!

I love that! It’s a funny anecdote and very endearing. John Williams is a giant in the industry but didn’t seem to have an ego about himself when it came to the daunting task of scoring such a powerful film.

I think that’s the kind of attitude you’d want from a composer for a film like Schindler’s List. Someone that recognizes the importance of the film and who is going to work their ass off to do the film justice rather than someone waltzing in and treating it like they’re working on a run of the mill movie gig.

Can you please ease up on the submissions? 9 posts in 4hrs is excessive and could be considered borderline spamming the instance we're hosted on. Keep in mind this is a general purpose instance and not specifically catering to entertainment media like Lemmy.film used to so we're not trying to flood the local feed. None of your posts broke double digit upvotes either so it might be an indication that you need to be a little more discriminating.
