A classic tale from the H.G. Wells library will be getting a new adaptation from Paramount Players, Deadline reports today, but at this time it’s not clear which story we’re dealing with.

The project from Wes Ball‘s OddBall Entertainment is said to be a “very loose adaptation stemming from the “mythology” that surrounds one of the writer’s most iconic titles.”

Some of the “most iconic titles” from the H.G. Wells library include:

  • The Time Machine
  • The Island of Doctor Moreau
  • The Invisible Man
  • The War of the Worlds

Laura Gillis is writing the screenplay. Deadline also notes that a previous version of the script was written by T.S. Nowlin (The Adam Project, Pacific Rim: Uprising).

Wes Ball (The Maze Runner) will produce. Stay tuned for more.

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.
