Michael Ealy Gets Paranoid in New ‘Jacob’s Ladder’ Photos
Director David M. Rosenthal‘s remake of Jacob’s Ladder is finally being released by Vertical Entertainment this summer, with the new take on the 1990 classic debuting on DISH. Bloody Disgusting has several new images.
DISH will premiere Jacob’s Ladder in an exclusive window on Dish July 25, followed by a theatrical release on August 23.
The plot is quite a bit different than the original film’s, but it looks like the new movie will be home to similar nightmare imagery. In Rosenthal’s Jacob’s Ladder, “After losing his brother in combat, Jacob Singer returns home from Afghanistan — only to be pulled into a mind-twisting state of paranoia. Singer soon realizes that his sibling is alive but life is not what it seems.”
Writer Jeff Buhler (The Prodigy, Pet Sematary) has promised a fresh new twist. Sarah Thorpe co-wrote the script with Buhler.
Michael Ealy (The Intruder), Jesse Williams (The Cabin in the Woods), Nicole Beharie (Shame, 42), and Karla Souza (How to Get Away with Murder) star.
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.
