Demonic ‘Luz’ Possesses Theaters This Coming July
After world premiering at the 68th Berlin Film Festival, Tilman Singer’s indie hit Luz opens in New York and Los Angles on July 19th, via Screen Media.
The film stars Luana Velis as a young cabdriver who drags herself into a run-down police station while being pursued by a woman (played by Julia Riedler) who is possessed by a demonic entity.
Daniel Kurland reviewed the film, writing:
“Luz is a wildly inventive take on the demonic possession genre.”
“Every so often there’s a film that really unnerves, and just flat-out scares us,” Screen Media’s Seth Needle said when acquired ahead of Fantastic Fest. “Luz does exactly that. Tilman has made a beautiful but truly terrifying movie that people are going to be talking about for sure.”
Singer also wrote the script. Singer and Dario Mendez Acosta produced.
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.
