Todd Farmer on How ‘Halloween 3D’ Fell Apart, or, How the Weinsteins Waste Everyone’s Time
Oh boy what a treat! I hope you have some free time, and if you don’t, make some immediately. Toff Farmer, the man who had been attached to pen Halloween 3D for Dimension Films, has posted a lengthy blog detailing how Patrick Lussier and himself got attached to the project — and how it all fell apart. It’s just the meat an potatoes, but click here and start reading because it’s pretty f*ckin’ entertaining (they wanted to cast Tom Atkins? Sweet!). I really dug My Bloody Valentine 3D, so it’s a bummer they won’t be bringing Michael Myers to the big screen, but hey, we got Drive Angry going in production! After you’re done reading, start talking about it below.
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.
