Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement’s ‘We’re Wolves’ Hasn’t Even Been Written Yet

Published

Spoof films haven’t been funny since Scary Movie, mostly because they focus too much on pop culture. Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement’s hysterical What We Do in the Shadows plays a lot of inside baseball, which is why it’s a home run, especially for horror fans.

The mockumentary follows a documentary team filming the lives of a group of vampires for a few months. The pic also tackles werewolves, which is the focus of the long-in-development sequel, We’re Wolves. Hopefully, you weren’t counting on it happening anytime soon.

Waititi, if you didn’t know, has been busy directing Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok, which has taken him out of commission for the better part of two years. Thus, it should come as no surprise that Clement and himself haven’t even touched the We’re Wolves screenplay yet, joking in this junket interview that they’ve “written three page,” while also revealing Shadows “took about six years to do.”  With that said, he does state that they plan to dive into that next and hopefully finish the screenplay.

This is exciting because Waititi and Clement truly understand and love the genre, and are surely going to deliver even more laughs. I can’t wait to see what other monsters they throw loving jabs at.

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.
