‘Battlestar Galactica’ Vet Joins Hardwick’s ‘Red Riding Hood’
“Battlestar Galactica” veteran Michael Hogan has joined the cast of Warner Bros.’ Red Riding Hood (formerly The Girl With the Red Riding Hood), the studio has confirmed to TheWrap. Hogan will play a mysterious character named The Reeve. Catherine Hardwicke’s supernatural thriller will be the director’s follow-up to Twilight. Amanda Seyfried stars alongside Shiloh Fernandez, Max Irons, Julie Christie and Gary Oldman. David Leslie Johnson (Orphan) wrote the script, which is set in a medieval village that is haunted by a werewolf. The story follows a young girl (Seyfried) who is engaged to be married (to Irons) but falls for an orphaned woodcutter (Fernandez), much to her family’s displeasure. Production on Red Riding Hood begins in late July. WB will release the film on April 22, 2011.
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.
