See ‘The Cabin in the Woods’ in First Ever Still!
One film I’ve been extremely skeptical about is Drew Goddard’s The Cabin in the Woods, his high-concept horror slasher that got caught in the middle of MGM’s financial debacle. While the delay doesn’t concern me a bit, it was the top secret script that I had read during filming. While I refuse to reveal a single bit of information, I will say this: everything depends on Goddard’s vision, his imagination, his ability to turn a super bizarre screenplay into a believable reality. Word on the street out of the film markets (Berlin and Cannes) is that the movie delivers quite a punch, and Lionsgate has to be happy that Thor‘s Chris Hemsworth is the lead. I hope we see this sooner than later…
ANYWAYS, Bloody Disgusting reader ‘Lichtbringer’ was kind enough to drop the first ever image in our lap. It features Hemsworth and company investigating something in said “cabin”. I can only assume it’s a stack of beer cans or a dirty condom, what else would be on the floor after a big time party?
Much like Cloverfield, which Goddard scripted, the Cabin story line provides a new twist on a classic scenario — in this case the young-people-stranded-in-the-woods horror trope.
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.
