Fox Announces Untitled Vampire Spoof Film for This Summer
Vampires are all the craze these days — too bad it’s mostly with the tweenie Twilight fans. Beyond Twilight we’ve seen Liongsate’s Daybreakers, HBO’s “True Blood” drama, WB’s “The Vampire Diaries”, and the forthcoming ABC series “The Gates”. There are multiple films in production ranging from Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter to The Last Voyage of the Demeter. The possibilities are endless, which is why 20th Century Fox is prepping to release yet another vomit-inducing spoof movie based around the vampire craze. The shocker? It’s coming out on August 18 of this summer. The pic is from Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the craptacular duo behind Disaster Movie, Epic Movie, Date Movie, and Meet the Spartans. A guaranteed “suck”-fest? Yes. It has already been rated PG-13. Earlier this month it was announced that Fully Mooned, a Twilight spoof had entered pre-production. Maybe this is the film? More soon, I’m sure. Guaranteed funnier than movie…
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.
