Three More Join the Cast of ‘Taking of Deborah Logan’ Director’s ‘The Maze’
A double dose of horror is soon headed our way from Adam Robitel, the man behind terrifying film The Taking of Deborah Logan. In addition to next year’s Insidious: The Last Key, Robitel also sits in the director’s chair for psychological thriller The Maze, which gets more casting news today.
Via Deadline, Tyler Labine (Tucker and Dale vs. Evil), Jay Ellis (“Insecure”) and Nik Dodani (“Atypical”) have joined the cast of Sony’s film.
The Maze — in the vein of David Fincher’s The Game — is a psychological thriller about six strangers who find themselves in circumstances beyond their control and must use their wits to survive.
Deborah Ann Woll (“True Blood”), Logan Miller (Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse) and Taylor Russell (“Lost in Space”) also star.
Bragi Schut and Maria Melnik wrote the script.
Neal Moritz and Ori Marmur are producing via Original Films.
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.
