Machinima Reveals “Enormous” Cast!
Ceren Lee, Erica Gimpel (pictured above in “True Blood”) and Steve Brand (Wrong Turn 2: Dead End) are starring in “Enormous,” a live-action web series adaptation of the Image Comics comic book series being made by Machinima, reports Heat Vision.
BenDavid Grabinski (who helmed the Brandon Routh-Mary Elizabeth Winstead short “Cost of Living”) is directing the pilot, which goes into production Friday in Los Angeles, with Garret Coffey, Billy Miller and Charles Melton also in the cast.
“The story certainly has large-scale ambition. Created by Tim Daniel and artist Mehdi Cheggour, the story is set in a world where humanity is under attack from gigantic monsters.”
Says the site, Lee will play the lead, a women who works for the United Nation’s Search and Rescue division looking for abandoned children. Gimpel’s character protects Lee’s rescuer. Brand is the story’s antagonist, a soldier of fortune making a living in this post-apocalyptic world.
Grabinski wrote the script with Andre Ovredal, the Norwegian filmmaker behind Troll Hunter.
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.
