‘The Orphanage’ Producers Get Haunted in ‘Hollow Man’
Major Spanish producers Rodar Y Rodar (The Orphanage) are set to make a new $7m thriller/horror called El Hombre Hueco (Hollow Man) with Guillem Morales and Oriol Paolo, the writing/directing duo of Julia’s Eyes. Paolo will take on directing duties and co-write the script with Morales for El Hombre Hueco, which will be a Spanish-language film set in a remote town where a young professor tries to solve a load of unexplained murders leading to mysterious happenings involving ghosts. “Shooting is due to take place in either 2011 or 2012 in Spain,” Joaquin Padro tells ScreenDaily. “We are looking for financing with the intention of having a quality international cast for the project.”
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.
