Horror A "Wolfman" Reboot Already Underway

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Yeah a little more wolf like there

 

[Pennywise]

Looks a little bit better, tbh.

He looks slightly different here.

Still not really working for me. Certainly wouldn’t think “Wolf Man” just based on these alone.

Funny enough, looks like a possessed Rick Baker lol

The teaser is much more effective by not fully showing him. But now, they kinda screwed that up with these photos.

 

[Arnold Rimmer]

How much do you wanna bet that was posted early due to the blacklash over that damn HHN costume?

 

[Filmfreak]

The creature actually looks worse to me.
But the trailer looks good so we'll see.

 

[Stringer]

If nothing else, I'm expecting some pretty gnarly transformation scenes.

 

[samsnee]

I’m too much of a softie. The idea of a loving dad turned into a monster that wants to kill his daughter that trusts him isn’t for me.

At least the rest of the movie looks promising enough to offset the fact that the final design is probably gonna look a lot like that thing that's strolling around Universal Studios right now.

 

[Sawyer]

Let’s also keep in mind that there should really be TWO wolf men in this thing, right? The one that attacks and then the one that Abbott becomes?

Maybe ol’ ugly at Universal is just the first.

That would make sense, because otherwise why would Abbott's wolfman transformation have white hair?

Synopsis:

Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott (Poor Things, It Comes at Night) stars as Blake, a San Francisco husband and father, who inherits his remote childhood home in rural Oregon after his own father vanishes and is presumed dead. With his marriage to his high-powered wife, Charlotte (Emmy winner Julia Garner; Ozark, Inventing Anna), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Matlida Firth; Hullraisers, Coma).But as the family approaches the farmhouse in the dead of night, they’re attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate escape, barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. As the night stretches on, however, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable, and Charlotte will be forced to decide whether the terror within their house is more lethal than the danger without.

his own father vanishes and is presumed dead

So odds are daddy is the OG werewolf?

Hmmm…

Hmmm…

Jesus, talk about giving the game away.

I honestly hope Whannell burns a Universal theme park to the ****ing ground for all the trouble they’re causing him with this ****.

Disgraceful.

 

[Enriquespy]

I liked the trailer.
I'm also fine with a less animalistic makeup, As long as it's clear that the fellas are wolf men and not just feral angry men.


Also, what's with all the Creature Fro The Black Lagoon disrespect??

Disgraceful.

We all know that Universal doesn't have the same budget as Disney does at their parks but they can absolutely afford something better than THAT. I'd expect that kind of nonsense from Six Flags.

Also, what's with all the Creature Fro The Black Lagoon disrespect??

No disrespect to the Creature itself, it's just less popular than the other main Universal Monsters. He's at least more popular than the Invisible Man and the Phantom of the Opera though, if their classic Universal versions count.

 

[Lasirius]

This is still one of my most anticipated ones and teaser looks great. Design of the creature is interesting but I’ll reserve judgement until I see it in the film or full trailer.

 

[Da-Scribe]

Some early impressions:

Where Invisible Man thematically revolves around gaslighting, I get the sense this will center around fragile masculinity. The mention in the synopsis of a struggling marriage with “high-powered wife” and Abbot’s line in the trailer about how it’s “my job to protect” his daughter are what’re making me think that. Plus him taking them out of the city to vacation off-the-grid is all very much giving emasculated man trying to prove himself.

It makes me think of that trend that was going around where women talked about preferring to be trapped alone in the woods with a bear rather than with a man, only the women in this film are sorta trapped with a guy (maybe more than one) who might be the worst of those things combined.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Decent first trailer. I am definitely intrigued.

 

[Kane52630]

I'm liking everything I'm seeing for far as a reinterpretation of the Wolf Man and Leigh hasn't disappointed me yet but my only issue so far is the cursed January release date.

 

[Gothamsknight]

He looks slightly different here.

That's actually a sick design.

The teaser trailer was excellent. As I said before, Leigh Whannell has yet to let me down with one of his films. Massive fan of Upgrade (2018) and I loved The Invisible Man.

AHA! So that's who the "outdoors werewolf" who caused this story is!

DENNIS!!!
