Director’s Cut of Lars von Trier’s ‘The House That Jack Built’ Opens Nationwide for One Night Only!
Earlier this year, Lars von Trier‘s next film, The House That Jack Built, was the talk of the town when reports surfaced that more than half the audience walked out of the first ever screening at Cannes. It instantly became one of the most controversial films of the year when it was called “vomitive,” “torturous”, and even “vile.” Even before Suspiria had even an ounce of hype, The House That Jack Built was being dubbed as this year’s most divisive film.
Now, thanks to IFC, we’ll get a single opportunity to see the DIRECTOR’S CUT of von Trier’s movie in theaters on November 28. The event takes place one night only (full list here) before it arrives on VOD December 14th (the R-rated cut will also hit theaters day and date).
In the film, Matt Dillon stars as a serial killer who views each of his murders as a work of art. Uma Thurman (Kill Bill), Bruno Ganz (Downfall), and Riley Keough (Mad Max: Fury Road) also star with South Korean actor, Yu Ji-tae, best known to us genre fans as the antagonist in Park Chan-wook’s 2003 hardboiled thriller Oldboy.
Rafael reviewed the film out of Sitges and explained that, “The nihilism of Lars von Trier’s darkly comedic The House That Jack Built rivals American Psycho.”
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.
