Freestyle Goes to ‘Hell and Back’
The star-studded animated genre film, Hell and Back, has been acquired by Freestyle Releasing out of the ongoing Cannes market.
Captured in high quality stop-motion, Hell and Back follows two best friends who must rescue their friend after he’s accidentally dragged to hell.
It will release here in the States on September 25, 2015.
In the vein of South Park and Team America, Hell & Back is an irreverent R-rated comedy which stars Mila Kunis (Black Swan, Ted), Danny McBride (This Is the End), T.J. Miller (Cloverfield), Bob Odenkirk (“Breaking Bad”), Susan Sarandon (Dead Man Walking), Jennifer Coolidge (American pie), Rob Riggle (21 Jump Street, The Hangover) and) directed by Tom Gianas (“SNL”) and Ross Shuman (“Robot Chicken”), produced by Corey Campodonico (“Robot Chicken”), Alexander Bulkey (“Robot Chicken”) and Eric Blyler (“Robot Chicken”).
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.
