Three More Actors Decide To Go To ‘Hell & Back’!
Three more actors have joined unfunny* stand-up comic Nick Swardson and TJ Miller (Cloverfield) in ShadowMachine’s R-rated stop-motion animated Hell & Back, a comedy “about two best friends who must rescue their pal when he is accidentally dragged to hell.”
Rob Riggle (“The Daily Show”, The Hangover), Brian Posehn (“The Sarah Silverman Program”, Five Year Engagement and Kumail Nanjiani (Life As We Know It) have all joined the cast.
Per Variety, “Riggle will play a 20-year old who’s starting to grow up, much to the chagrin of his friends Augie and Remy. Posehn will portray an aging heavy-metal fan stuck in the ’80s and Nanjiani will play Sal the Demon, an employee of hell.”
The film is set to begin shooting in January with Tommy Gianas (Tenacious D) and Ross Shuman directing. ShadowMachine principals Alexander Bulkley and Corey Campodonico are producing.
*fact. Though I liked him in 30 Minutes Or Less. But that was before I saw his standup, which I can never recover from.
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.
