Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman’s Home Invaded in ‘Trespass’
Millennium Entertainment has acquired U.S. rights to Joel Schumacher’s thriller Trespass, starring Nicolas Cage, Nicole Kidman, Ben Mendelsohn, Cam Gigandet and Liana Liberato. The plan is for a fall release.
Karl Gajdusek wrote the screenplay for Trespass which “centers on a man who has everything — a beautiful wife, a teenage daughter, a lavish estate — and is confronted with the reality of losing it all when he and his family become the victims of a vicious home invasion.”
Trespass is the fourth collaboration between Cage and Nu Image/Millennium following Drive Angry, The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans and The Wicker Man.

‘Wolf Man’ Movie from Universal and Director Leigh Whannell Moves into 2025
Filming kicked off just a couple weeks ago on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which had been ambitiously dated for release on October 25, 2024. As it turns out, however, a Halloween 2024 release was a bit too ambitious.
THR reports that Wolf Man will howl its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Christopher Abbott (Poor Things) has been cast in the titular role.
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) will also star.
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.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
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.
