Watch Lars von Trier’s Violent Short ‘Occupation’
It’s been a beautifully slow news day, which is all fine and dandy — other than it makes me feel like we don’t have anything fun for you guys to read about during your final hours of a long work weel. We’ll fix that right now…
My buddy Aaron just sent me over a short film I completely forgot about that’s perfect for Bloody Disgusting, and makes a bold statement about disrupting other patrons in a theater (I’m looking at you!)
The above short film was helmed by none other than Lars von Trier, the self-proclaimed greatest director in the world who’s most recent works include the masterpieces Antichrist and Melancholia. The 3-minute long short, entitled “Occupations,” was directed in 2007 as part of Chacun Son Cinéma (To Each His Own Cinema) collective film of 33 shorts directed by different directors about their feeling about Cinema.
It’s not a good idea to interrupt a man who is watching a movie in cinema. Especially if that person is Lars von Trier….
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.
