B-D Brings ‘Dead Silence’ Back To Theaters!
Universal’s awful marketing (and, oddly, enforced R rating) led to Dead Silence‘s less than stellar theatrical run, preventing fans from enjoying this Hammer throwback on the big screen when it was released in early 2007. But it’s gotten a new lease on life thanks to cable and DVD, and thus we felt it was time to show this underrated flick on the big screen again! If you live in Los Angeles, come on down to the Nuart theater on Friday, January 14th at 11:55 PM for the first ever revival screening of James Wan’s followup to Saw. Wan (daytime decision) and writer Leigh Whannell will be on hand for a Q&A, and if you’ve ever heard them talk you know it will be a hilarious and informative chat, moderated by our own BC and Simon Barrett. Tickets are 10 bucks in advance (just scroll to Jan 14) or at the door – see you there!
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.
