NECA Lops Off A Hand for the Rights to ‘Evil Dead 2’!
Somebody woke the beast. NECA had sort of fallen into McFarlane Toys territory with their rehashing of old licenses, but out of nowhere the toy company has risen from the grave with the great might of the Kraken.
While NECA already unveiled four new Freddy Krueger figures based on the A Nightmare on Elm Street films, at this July’s San Diego Comic-Con get ready for a whole lotta boomstick.
At this summer’s Con, NECA will share with the world their first prototypes of “Ash” from their Evil Dead 2 LINE, with plans on releasing by October of 2011. No word on what “surprises” are included, but we can only dream of getting some deadites in plastic. And sh*t, why not an Ash figure with “both” hands? Totally kidding….
Seriously though, think of the possibilities! Check out some screengrabs inside.
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.
