Legendary American Illustrator Basil Gogos Paints ‘The Wolfman’
Something really cool just popped up over at CHUD who is sharing with us an exclusive look at a brand new one sheet for Universal Pictures’ The Wolfman redo, which was designed by legendary American illustrator Basil Gogos (most notably “Famous Monsters of Filmland”). Since 1960, Gogos has painted some of our most iconic images of movie monsters. In the past 50 years, Mr. Gogos has created haunting portraits of such classic Universal creatures as The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Dracula, The Mummy, Frankenstein’s monster and The Phantom of the Opera. With this limited-edition work commissioned by Universal for The Wolfman, Mr. Gogos helps Universal bring the myth of a cursed man back to its legendary origins.

In addition to sequel The Housemaid’s Secret, Paul Feig (Ghostbusters, The Housemaid) will also be directing a new horror movie titled Detention for Blumhouse Atomic Monster.
Deadline reports this week that Feig will direct Detention for Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Platinum Dunes, with the film’s spec screenplay written by Daniel Gold.
At this time, unfortunately, all plot details are completely under wraps.
Deadline notes, however, “While the plot is being kept under wraps, sources say the film will be a horror thriller, which excited Feig, who, after successfully directing global hit The Housemaid this past Christmas, wanted to try something even darker.”
The outlet adds, “No studio is attached, but sources say Universal likely will get a first crack at it given its relationship with Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse Atomic Monster.”
Producers on Detention include Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller, Cameron Fuller, Paul Feig and Laura Fischer. Steven Schneider will executive produce the horror film.
