After the Paul Andrew Williams (The Cottage) rumors were squashed, all we were left with was news that 28 Months Later was definitely in the near future. This weekend creator Danny Boyle was in Hollywood promoting his latest feature film, the incredible SLUMDOG MILLIONARE, where he revealed the shocking news that he might direct the next film. “I’d certainly like to,” Boyle said in a group interview, courtesy of Sci Fi Wire. “I feel the idea is quite a strong idea, and it could well involve directing it. Yeah, absolutely.” Boyle directed 28 DAYS LATER, while Juan Carlos Fresnadillo took over directing duties for 28 WEEKS LATER.

Matilda Firth Joins the Cast of Director Leigh Whannell’s ‘Wolf Man’ Movie
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.
