R.I.P. Robert Loggia Passes Away at 85
Even more sad news to report today as esteemed actor Robert Loggia has passed away, according to his wife Audrey. He was 85 years old.
Loggia, an Oscar-nominated actor, has appeared in some of the most important and well known films of cinema, including Scarface, Big, Jagged Edge, and more. But it was his roles in Lost Highway, “Murder, She Wrote”, “Alfred Hitchcock Presents”, “The Outer Limits”, and Independence Day that many horror and thriller fans knew him from.
Loggia began acting in the early 50’s and never really stopped, working diligently and passionately until his passing. According to IMDb, there are still three movies yet to be released that feature him.
At 85, Loggia lived a long, rich life full of accomplishment and acclaim. While we are sad to hear of his passing, we thank him for all that he offered the entertainment industry over the years.
Rest in peace, Robert.
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.
