‘Knights Of Badassdom’ Comes Out In February, But Not Joe Lynch’s Version
Entertainment One will finally be releasing The Knights Of Badassdom, which stars “Game Of Thrones'” Peter Dinklage, “True Blood’s” Ryan Kwanten, Steve Zahn and Summer Glau on VOD February 11th, 2014. They’re also starting TUGG screenings for the film on January 21st.
Unfortunately it’s not the version of the film that director Joe Lynch (Everly, Wrong Turn 2) intended you to see. I’ve seen this cut – and there’s plenty of good stuff in the first two acts that seems like it’s from him. It goes off the rails a bit at the end and it has a denouement/credits scene that you can pretty much tell is NOT him. There’s even some non-Dinklage ADR for Dinklage’s character.
There’s some cool stuff in the movie, but the whole thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It’s sort of a bummer that it ended up like this. Let’s set our sights on Everly.
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.
