They All Lie, and Here’s Proof: Heather Morris IS Being Considered for ‘Buffy’
Back on December 12 the Hollywood Reporter was quick to publish a story debunking the possibilities of “Glee” star Heather Morris taking the reigns as the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer, adding Tweets by writer Whit Anderson and declaring a statement by Warners that “casting is not being discussed until the script is completed.” All lies! This has become typical protocol here in Hollywood, where we break a confirmed story only to look like complete assholes by the studios, writers, producers or stars. The fact of the matter is Morris is in fact in talks for the lead role: “They’re considering me! I found out and I almost peed my pants ’cause I was so excited!” she told Access Hollywood. Interesting stuff, considering how hard the studio and writer tried to convince us otherwise. Hopefully she’s not a moron and just responding to the Web gossip…
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.
