Sony Screen Gems’ Major Date Shifts, 3D Maneuvers
Sony Screen Gems has made some major changes in their forthcoming genre slate. Let’s start with the highly anticipated Underworld 4, which is said to no longer be arriving in 3-D. The vampires vs werewolves action-saga will arrive in theaters on September 23, 2011. This is a major delay from the originally announced Jan ’11 date. Scott Charles Stewart’s follow-up to Legion, Priest, will now be arriving in cinemas on January 14, 2011 – shifting from its original August ’10 date – and is also said to be converting to 3-D. Lastly, The Roommate is being pushed out of its September slot all the way back to February 4, 2011. So while 2010 will be a quiet year from Screen Gems, 2011 is set to explode.

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.
