If Dimension F*cks Us Again, I’m Going to Be ‘Livid’
I’m still bitter with rage that The Weinstein Company’s Dimension Extreme released an edited down version of the French gorefest Inside on DVD (cut to make Blockbuster Video happy). Even more shameful is not having a Blu-ray/HD version of the film to put its stunning cinematography on full display.
Well, it’s time to hang your head in disappointment as Dimension scored the rights to Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo‘s Inside followup, Livide (Livid), which I can only assume they’ll hold locked up in their vault for several years before butchering it to shreds (for no apparent reason). I put the challenge to them to prove me wrong.
“Livid is a horror fairy tale set on Halloween night, when three youths decide to burglarize an old lady’s desolate house, which turns out to be no ordinary abode.“
This seriously bugs me. The only way to make me happy would be to re-release the UNCUT version of Inside alongside it.
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.
