‘Safe House’ Teaser Poster Takes Us to Dark Compund
Lena Headey (“The Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” Laid to Rest) will lead the cast in Simon Hunter’s (Mutant Chronicles) new Brit shocker Safe House, which is set to lens this coming March. Michael Ironside (Terminator Salvation) is also attached with offers out to Kate Mara (Iron-Man 2) and Michael Trucco (“Battlestar Galactica”). Safe House follows a team of US Marshals charged with protecting a mob-trial witness and her teenage daughter, Alice. Mother and daughter are relocated to an isolated compound high in the Californian Rockies. The location appears secure — outfitted specifically for witness protection — yet its past is steeped in mystery and violence. Producer Steve Iles of Spirit Pictures pitches it as Assault On Precinct 13 meets The Thing. Andy Briggs has written the screenplay. Image Engine, the Canadian VFX shop which created the aliens in District 9, was in talks to do the monster design, Deadline reported last year. Simon Bowles, who regularly works with Neil Marshall (The Descent), will be production designer. Check out the teaser poster inside.
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.
