More than 80 years later, the Blumhouse studio – at the helm of the latest Halloween trilogy, Get Out and M3GAN – is preparing a retelling of the myth, in the worthy tradition of 2020’s Invisible Man. It’s no coincidence: it’s the same director. Leigh Whannell, behind the camera on both films.
Story: What will the wolf man be about?
Wolf Man is shaping up to be a modern take on the 1941 classic. The original film followed a man named Larry Talbot’s return to his father and his meeting with a woman, Gwen Conliffe. Although no official content has been announced, the new version seems to focus on the family behind closed doors on the farm. The first images promise a horror-tinged domestic thriller.

Who says behind closed doors says small casting. Initially, Ryan Gosling was supposed to play the main role in this new film. It is finally Christopher Abbott, who appeared in the TV series Girls and the thriller Possessor, who will play the role of the father bitten by the creature. In the guise of his wife, we find Julia Garner, star of the Netflix series Ozark and Inventing Anna. Actor Sam Yeager (The Handmaid’s Tale) is also part of the cast, but his character is still unknown.

What should we expect from the wolf man?
With Invisible Man, screenwriter and director Leigh Whannell had the brilliant idea to bring the Invisible Man story into the prism of domestic violence in our time. A very powerful and impactful look that allowed the film to gain depth. With Wolf Man, we can hope for a similar approach.
The trailer of the movie suggests a very dark and violent movie with hopefully some moments body horror – a term referring to body transformations in cinema.
And the beast? what will it be like Studio Blumhouse teased the monster at its annual Halloween Horror Nights event, with a man dressed as a wolf, a design that was expected to match the film’s design. It is clear that this is a simple costume and not the final version as the movie will be presented in theaters.
