On the 12th day of Christmas my ALIEN gave to me…

James Cameron’s Aliens was filmed across ten months in 1985, ensuring that the cast and crew had to spend the holiday season at Pinewood Studios in England. Young star Carrie Henn, who played beloved character Newt, was just 9 years old at the time, and as she just revealed over on Twitter, she brought a little Christmas spirit onto the set.

I couldn’t believe no one was going to decorate at Christmas,” Henn recalled in a tweet last week, “so I made decorations for hallways and outside my dressing room.”

Some assistant directors helped create this song,” she added, including the “Alien Christmas Song” set to the tune of “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”

She also shared a picture of the cast and crew caroling the song on set!

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.
