‘The Firstling’ Threatens Unborn Child
Milo Ventimiglia (Pathology, The Divide), Gabriel Macht (The Spirit) and Andie MacDowell (Footloose, Groundhog Day) are wrapping up shooting on The Firstling, a ghost story movie directed by Peter Antonejevich, reports THR.
The Firstling is pulling up its stakes after a shoot in Savannah, Ga. Rebecca Da Costa (Trick of the Witch, Seven Below), and Louis Gossett Jr. (Enemy Mine, Jaws 3) co-star in the movie, which was written by Nissar Modi.
“The movie tells of a pregnant woman who is afraid she’ll lose her unborn child if she doesn’t avenge a supernatural entity.”
Peter D. Graves (Killer Elite), David Jones (“Dr. T & the Women”) and Warren Ostergard (“Freerunner”) are producing under the TinRes Entertainment production banner.
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.
