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.

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.
