Tom Felton Calls ‘The Apparition’ in the Tradition of ‘Flatliners’
Last week Warner Bros. Pictures provided Bloody Disgusting with the first ever images from The Apparition, the Todd Lincoln-directed ghost story that stars Ashley Greene (Twilight), Sebastian Stan (Black Swan, The Covenent), Luke Pasqualino, Julianna Guill (Friday the 13th, Altitude), and Harry Potter villain Tom Felton. In theaters September 9, the pic is a sci-fi thriller in which a dangerous campus experiment leads to contact with the afterlife – horrific contact, no surprise. The LA Times caught up with Felton who described it as in the tradition of Flatliners.
“It’s a sci-fi thriller with a dash of horror, and we shot it in Berlin,” Felton said of the Todd Lincoln film. “It’s based around the paranormal. Ashley Greene from the `Twilight’ films is the lead, and Sebastian Stan is in it. I thoroughly enjoyed working with them. My character is the instigator of all the madness, all the experiments, and he’s in search of proof, and, of course, that leads to the downfall of the group. It’s kind of in the tradition of `Flatliners,’ but there’s more of a horror element there, and it’s very technological.”

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.
