Horror A "Wolfman" Reboot Already Underway

[Loden Greatstorm]

I wonder if the Wolfman will be CGI or makeup?

If they use the motion capture tech seen in Planet of the Apes, then I would prefer CGI.

The only female love interest acceptable now.

Absolutely agree.

 

[Joefixit]

I honestly liked Benicio Del Toro’s wolfman... But then again I liked Ang Lee’s Hulk as well..

 

[Eddie Dean]

How about getting the director of Nightcrawler? It's not like he's doing much after Velvet Buzzsaw.

Rightfully so, after that one!

 

[MurkeNyou]

Please Universal, do practical FX with digital assist.

The contrast between the CG and the awesome practical FX was painful in the last film.

 

[Man in the Suit]

Maybe this will get Gosling to resurrect Dead Man's Bones.

I liked that they didn't use too much cgi in the 2010 remake. He looked similar to the original:

Anyone else noticed the thread title is "A Wolfman Reboot Already Underway..." was from nine years ago? So much for already on the way.

Still, maybe this will be good. Universal at least dropped their Dark Universe to free it from getting entangled in meandering threads to other movies that don't even exist yet.

I can’t see Gosling being up for being in a motion capture suit. Seems like a makeup guy to me.

That's what I'm thinking as well but I also don't know how they'd top past werewolf makeup in films like American Werewolf in London (still holds up after almost 40 years) or even the 2010 Wolfman. Rick Baker is retired and he can't be outdone. We've peaked in the werewolf makeup department.

What they'll probably end up doing is a CGI/practical makeup composite. Gives Gosling something to act with while at the same time not restricting his performance much.

Ryan Gosling Wolfman Universal Director Leigh Whannell Blumhouse – Deadline

 

[Sawyer]

YAAAAAASS! Love Leigh.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Oh man, loved both of Whannells movies so far so this has just shot right up my anticipation list.

 

[Man in the Suit]

Exciting news!

Whannell going from Insidious: Chapter 3 to Upgrade to The Invisible Man is amazing. Makes a bit sad he waited so long to make the leap to directing, but I'm glad he finally did. I think he's a much better director than his former creative partner James Wan. And I love Wan.

 

[Lasirius]

Yus.

I wonder what enticed Whannell. The report makes it seem like he was reluctant, so something must have convinced him. I wonder if it was a story aspect or just the chance to work with Gosling.

 

[Luigi]

Excellent news! Benedict Hardie is going to stay busy as well.

 

[Web-Head]

Love Leigh, but at the same time, I'm not a fan of just using the same directors. Leigh Whannell is so good though that I don't care!

 

[Doctor Jones]

Yeah, Whannel has earned the cred. But on the other hand, I hope he has a genuinely exciting vision and was hired because he had the best one, not just because Invisible Man was a success.

Well now this is exciting. I love his take on Invisible Man and still need to see Upgrade.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I am pumped for this.
