Shoot Dates: ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’ and ‘Pirahna 3DD’
We spend so much talking about movies when they’re in development that is incredibly exciting to actually hear of a start date for them. When a start date is locked in, it usually means that the flick is finally going behind cameras, and if it doesn’t suck, it could be out in theaters within two years. Website NOLA is reporting that Twentieth Century Fox’s Timur Bekmambetov-directed Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter will begin filming in New Orleans starting January 24th. It will arrive in theaters June 22, 2012. In addition, they state that Dimension Films’ Piranha 3DD goes behind cameras from January 17-February 18 in Baton Rouge. The Alex Aja-directed redo was filmed in Arizona. John Gulager directs this 3D sequel that arrives in theaters September 16, 2011.
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.
