AFM ’10: A Family Disappears Because of ‘Greed’
We just learned of a new French psychological thriller from director Eric Guirdo (The Grocer’s Son) that’s currently in production for release in 2011. Entitled Greed, the thriller is actually sai to be based on tragic events that made major headlines back in 2003. We got our hands on the official sales art for the flick starring Jérémie Renier (Brotherhood of the Wolf), Julie Depardieu , Alexandra Lamy, and Lucien Jean-Baptiste.“Bruno and Maryline are dreaming of a better life. The couple move to a small town nestled in the breathtaking French Alps where they are greeted by their landlord Patrick and his beautiful wife Gladys.
Because their home is not yet ready, Patrick puts them up in another house – but what begins as temporary housing soon turns into a series of moves from one place to the next, until Bruno and his family end up in a hotel, still waiting for their home. As their bitterness and anger builds up, so does intense jealousy over their landlords’ wealth, happiness and success-culminating in a bloody outcome.”
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.
