Joe Johnston Finds ‘NSFW’ Trio
Variety reports that director Joe Johnston is reteaming with his Captain America thesp JJ Feild (who also starred in Neil Marshall’s Centurion), who has been cast in Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Prods.’ low-budget thriller Not Safe For Work along with Tom Gallop (The Bourne Identity) and Emmy winner Christian Clemenson (“CSI: Miami”).
Brit scribes Adam Mason and Simon Boyes (Blood River, The Devil’s Chair) wrote the script, which follows a young paralegal trapped in an office with a killer on a secret mission to destroy files and anyone that stands in his path.
As previously reported, Max Minghella (The Social Network) will star as the cunning protag, while Eloise Mumford (ABC’s “The River”) will play his girlfriend, who works at the same office along with Clemenson.
Jason Blum (Insidious, Paranormal Activity) is producing the pic, which will be exec produced by Couper Samuelson. Bryan Brucks is set to co-produce.
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.
