Animated ‘Brightburn’ Motion Comic Teases the Bloody Carnage Headed Our Way This Weekend

Published

on

Fittingly, David Yarovesky‘s Brightburn has spawned its own mini motion comic ahead of this weekend’s release, teasing the bloody horrors to come in the James Gunn-produced super-villain origin story. And indeed things are going to get very bloody at your local theater this weekend, as William Bibbiani’s  3 1/2 star review for BD promises.

William writes that Brightburn‘s gore is “ambitious and inventive“!

Elizabeth Banks stars in BrightBurn, which takes the core concept of Superman and flips it.

In the film, a young boy not of this world is taken in by human parents who believe him to be special. But not all who wear capes are heroes.

Jackson A. Dunn and David Denman also star.

Mark Gunn and Brian Gunn wrote the script.

BrightBurn arrives in theaters on May 24, 2019.

Writer in the horror community since 2008. Editor in Chief of Bloody Disgusting. Owns Eli Roth's prop corpse from Piranha 3D. Has four awesome cats. Still plays with toys.

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.
