TV: An ‘American Idol’ Haunting
Even though just clicking over to TMZ is against every fiber of my being, I still couldn’t help reading about an “American Idol” haunting…
They report that “Ghosts invaded the “American Idol” mansion in Beverly Hills — and the finalists got so freaked, they moved out of the place Monday night for good.
“The supernatural drama began after contestants complained about bizarre flickering lights inside the house … followed by a spooky spider infestation,” they wrote making me wonder what’s so spooky about a spider invasion other than how gross it is?
They continue, “But the paranormal activity that sent the contestants over the edge happened last week — when several wannabes claim they watched a bed sheet suddenly take on a life of its own and float down an empty hallway! And as if the ghosts weren’t enough, Sunday’s torrential rains caused the roof to leak like a mutha.” Yes, they wrote “mutha”…
“The contestants freak out and demanded to move … and “Idol” producers obliged,” they added.
Super duper nice of them.
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.
