Looks Like in Addition to Shudder’s Series, a New ‘Critters’ Movie Has Wrapped Filming
Announced last, the Jordan Rubin-directed series “Critters: A New Binge” will be taking a bite out of Shudder on March 21st, which will mark the official return of the Krites for the first time since 1992’s Critters 4. But as we told you earlier this year, a brand new Critters *movie* is also in the works at Syfy, and it looks like filming just recently wrapped!
Adam Friedlander and Armand Leo, the producers of Syfy’s Tremors sequels, produced the new movie, which looks to have been directed by Bobby Miller (The Cleanse).
The Facebook fan group Critters Rehatched got the scoop on this one over the weekend, when behind the scenes photos were shared (and then deleted) by a member of the crew.
There’s also a rumor that Dee Wallace, star of the original Critters, *could* be returning for the film, which seems to derive from her recently being in South Africa for a shoot.
We’ll update you as we learn more on this one.
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.
