This weekend BD reporter SpookyDan has been in Toronto, Canada, rocking Rue Morgue’s Festival of Fear convention. Today he had the chance to talk to Ruggero Deodato, who reveals that he will in fact be involved an Italian horror series similar to Masters of Horror, which will comprise of four episodes initially. You can read more about this inside and see who else will be joining him to direct.
This afternoon in Toronto at Rue Morgue’s Festival of Fear, the infamous director of CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, Ruggero Deodato, announced his involvement in a as of yet untitled anthology television show.
“It’s like a an “Italian Masters of Horror”, and we are gearing up for it now,” he explains. In our exclusive interview with Deodato he told us a bit more about it. “We are planning to do four episodes and my episode is titled NATAS. Lamberto Bava will do one as well, and the two of us are scheduled to shoot ours first, then the two others will film for a 2009 release.”
As for CANNIBALS, the CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST “companion piece”, the last we heard the film was at a halt do to Deodato’s conflict with the film’s producers.
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.
