‘Year 2’: Frank Grillo Teams With Steven C. Miller on CRAZY Werewolf Movie!
Another tidbit of EFM news hiding deep under the radar as Bloody Disgusting learned that horror filmmaker turned action director Steven C. Miller will next be pitting Frank Grillo against werewolves in the absolutely bananas Year 2.
Described as “The Purge with werewolves”, Year 2 is the wild and crazy story about the return of a supermoon which, on its last appearance just a year earlier, turned anybody touched by moonlight into a werewolf!
The synopsis notes that it led to nearly one billion deaths.
The film hails from The Solution Entertainment and is helmed by Steven C. Miller, director of Dimension Extreme’s The Aggression Scale, Bloody Disgusting’s Under the Bed, and Silent Night, the remake of Silent Night, Deadly Night. He’s gone on to direct several actioneers including Escape Plan 2 and Marauders.
Frank Grillo starred in The Purge: Anarchy, The Purge: Election Year, Beyond Skyline, and many, many more.
Year 2 is in pre-production, expect more casting soon.
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.
