Trailer for Alex Aja’s ‘Crawl’ Hunted Down by an Alligator During a Hurricane! [Video]
After some early hype, Paramount Pictures has just released the trailer for Alexandre Aja‘s (High Tension, The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha 3D) thriller Crawl, wherein Kaya Scodelario finds herself trapped inside a flooded house during a massive hurricane… a house that has become filled with both water and deadly alligators!
The trailer looks like several great movies from the past, mixing elements of Rogue and Burning Bright – in which a Tiger is trapped in a house during a Hurricane – with that of Deep Blue Sea, Into the Deep, Bait, Open Water, The Shallows, and many others. There’s the promise of gore, not only in the footage, but with Alex Aja behind the camera, and the action looks nonstop. There’s also a kicker dropped right in the middle of the footage when Kaya’s character discovers several hatched alligator eggs – will Crawl also harken back to James Cameron’s Aliens?! Goddamn, I need this right now.
The buzz words were flying in like a hurricane at CinemaCon where Paramount Pictures debuted the first ever footage, calling it “bloody and chaotic,” and likening it to “47 Meters Down meets Jaws.” It sounds like they got to see a bit more than us, but it only gets me even more excited. What are your thoughts?
Produced by Sam Raimi, Crawl arrives on July 12.
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.
