Katharine Isabelle Preps for ‘American Mary’ Surgery
Here’s another small good released at the ongoing Cannes market. Below you’ll find the official sales art for Jen and Sylvia Soska’s (Dead Hooker in a Trunk) upcoming American Mary, the second feature film from Twisted Twins Productions. The poster displays Mary, played by horror veteran Katharine Isabelle, best known from the Ginger Snaps franchise, Freddy vs Jason and Insomnia. It’s kind of a funny poster because it’s littered with quotes, but it’s unclear who made the statements. Antonio Cupo, Tristan Risk, David Lovgren, Paula Lindberg and Twan Holliday also star.
This film is a psychological horror film described as American Psycho meets The Skin I Live In, but riddled with tons of subtle horror references from some of the most well known cult horror films. “The pic follows the story of medical student Mary Mason as she grows increasingly broke and disenchanted with medical school and the surgeons she once admired. The allure of easy money and notoriety sends Mary into the messy world of underground surgeries that leaves more marks on Mary than her so-called freakish clientele.“
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.
