‘Attack of the Meth Gator’ – The Asylum Teases Their Own ‘Cocaine Bear’ Mockbuster
With Cocaine Bear now playing in theaters, it was only a matter of time before The Asylum whipped up their own “mockbuster” take on the buzzy horror-comedy. And indeed they’ve unleashed the first look at that upcoming project today: Attack of the Meth Gator!
The Asylum tweets, “Hold our bear… I mean, beer. Coming for your life this summer.”
Along with the tweet is early poster art for Attack of the Meth Gator, which presumably centers on an alligator who ingests a whole bunch of meth and eats a whole bunch of people.
Is The Asylum just messing with us all? In a follow-up tweet from their official account, the studio promises that the film is very much real, and we wouldn’t expect anything less.
The Asylum is the company behind horror movies including Snakes on a Train, 2-Headed Shark Attack, Atlantic Rim, Sharknado, and Aquarium of the Dead, and they’ve become known for capitalizing on Hollywood success stories with their own low-budget knockoffs. Needless to say, a film like Attack of the Meth Gator is extremely on-brand for The Asylum.
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.
