Genius Behind ‘Torque’ Releases First (Insane) Still For ‘Detention’
Joseph Kahn makes his living – for the most part – off of directing music videos for mainstream artists (Britney Spears, Garbage, U2, etc.), but has graced the silver screen only once with 2004’s Torque. At the time, it seemed like a quick cash-grab to capitalize on the success of The Fast And The Furious and its sequel; and in actuality, that’s REALLY all it was supposed to be, just switching out the cars for bikes. But what it turned out being is the Scary Movie version of Vin Diesel’s calling card, and it’s extremely amusing if you enjoy terrible movies. Kahn just released a still from his horror debut, Detention, which features a character called Cinderhella. Check after the break to see the Silent Hill-like character, who will hopefully kill Dane Cook in the first five minutes.
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.
