OMFG of the Day: NECA’s ‘Dream Master’ Freddy One of the Coolest Figures of All Time?
At this past February’s Toy Fair in New York, NECA announced a trio of new A Nightmare on Elm Street action figures detailing the first three looks of slasher Freddy Krueger in New Line Cinema’s infamous franchise:
* Nightmare on Elm Street Freddy with outstretched arms, regular arms, removable hat and interchangeable heads (classic and skinned face with exposed skull)
* Freddy’s Revenge Freddy with bladed finger nails, removable hat and interchangeable heads (regular and screaming face)
* Dream Warriors Freddy with ripped sweater revealing Freddy’s victims, Elm Street house accessory and interchangeable heads (grimacing expression and crucifix damaged screaming face with a port hole that light can shine through)
This morning NECA revealed the best of ’em all in a surprise announcement — a hi-res look at the “Dream Master Freddy”, arriving in stores this fall. Click here for a look at the “Dream House” accessory, along with an interchangeable Freddy’s head featuring his exposed brain.
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.
