UPDATE: Director for Third ‘Butterfly Effect’!
Update: The Confirmed working title is BUTTERFLY EFFECT: REVELATION, also we’re told that Anthony Leonardi has yet to sign the dotted line. Watch for more updates soon. We received word this morning that After Dark Films has found their director is in talks with a director for the third BUTTERFLY EFFECT movie, which we’re being told might be called Butterfly Effect: Revelation. Our sources tell us Anthony Leonardi the III, director of the short film EXISTENCE, is in final negotiations to helm the film, which is slated to join this year’s “8 Films to Die For”. We’ll have an update soon. In the script by Holly Brinx, a young man discovers he has inherited the powers of “The Butterfly Effect” and attempts to solve the mystery of his high school girlfriend’s death using his newfound ability, only to unwittingly unleash a vicious serial killer.
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.
