It’s been a bit since we’ve gotten any sort of update on the future of the Wolf Creek franchise, which to date includes two films and two seasons of a television series. Greg McLean has been teasing his desire to make a third movie for a while now, and today we’ve learned that it’s finally happening. Altitude Film Sales has taken worldwide sales rights, Variety reports!

Altitude will be introducing the project to buyers at the Virtual Cannes Market this week. Variety notes that the worldwide sales rights don’t include Australia/New Zealand.

In the third film, “An American family takes a dream trip to the Australian outback and soon draws the attention of notorious serial killer Mick Taylor. A hellish nightmare ensues as the couple’s two children escape only to be hunted by Australia’s most infamous killer.”

John Jarratt will return as outback serial killer Mick Taylor. Greg McLean is on board to produce the third installment, though Rachele Wiggins will sit in the director’s chair this time.

Variety notes, “Production will commence late 2021 in South Australia.”

Duncan Samarasinghe wrote the script. McLean said in a statement, “Duncan’s compelling, suspense-filled script combined with Rachele’s exciting directorial vision for the film will deliver a horror roller-coaster ride sure to delight genre fans around the world.”

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.
