SD Comic-Con ’10: First Hi-Res Look at Katie Holmes in ‘Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark’
We’ve finally got a nice and clean hi-res look at star Katie Holmes in Troy Nixey’s Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark redo that premiered footage at this week’s San Diego Comic-Con and gave Comic-Con attendees a “…good old fashion scare,” says del Toro at the panel. “It’s hard hitting, it’s scary it’s classical, but the ending hits you…” It was also revealed to BD that the film will receive a studio supported R-rating and will definitely NOT be in 3-D. The adaptation of a 1973 ABC telepic arriving in theaters January 21 tells the story centers on a young girl, portrayed by Madison, who’s sent to live with her father (Pearce) and his girlfriend (Holmes) in the old mansion they are renovating, where she unwittingly unleashes malevolent creatures bent on destroying all of them.
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.
