[EFM ’12] UK Rights Go ‘Airborne’
Chelsea Films, a division of Curzon Artificial Eye, scored UK rights to Dominic Burns’ indie thriller Airborne, which stars Star Wars” Mark Hamill, Julian Glover (Quatermass, Empire Strikes Back), Sebastian Street, Gemma Atkinson (Hollyoaks, 13 Hrs), and Alan Ford (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch).
Taking terror to new heights, “As a snow storm closes in, one final plane takes off. The plane reports to the ground that both pilots are dead, while the slowly dwindling number of passengers on the plane wish that they’d never left the ground.”
Black and Blue Films’ Jonathan Sothcott said last year: “I was attracted by the idea of making what is basically a feature length version of the “Terror At 20,00 Feet” segment of ‘Twilight Zone The Movie.’” 
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.
