Mick Taylor Returns to ‘Wolf Creek’ In a Web Series
Mick Taylor is among the greatest slashers of all time, and even though it feels like Wolf Creek 2 would be the final entry in the franchise, the Aussie slasher will be taking his carving talents to the small screen.
Australia’s 9 News reports that subscription video-on-demand service Stan announced it has signed a production development deal for a six-part “Wolf Creek” series!
John Jarratt will return as the villain Mick Taylor in the series, which is currently being developed by director, writer and producer Greg McLean, who was behind the first and second Wolf Creek films.
In terms of a timeline, the series continues after the hilarious and awesome sequel, now on home video.
The series is being produced by Screentime and Emu Creek Pictures.
“Wolf Creek and the character of Mick Taylor have become household names, and the opportunity to tell a rich and complex story in his world in a high-quality drama series is a thrilling creative opportunity,” Emu Creek Pictures CEO Mr McLean said.
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.
