Experience the gripping journey of a man’s metamorphosis from an ordinary individual to a terrifying beast in the newly released trailer for Wolf Man, a fresh take from Blumhouse on the classic 1941 monster film.
Lionsgate’s preview introduces viewers to Blake (Christopher Abbott), his wife Charlotte (Julia Garner), and their daughter Ginger (Matilda Firth), who find themselves trapped in an overturned U-haul amid a dense forest. As they attempt to flee the area, an unseen creature launches a vicious attack on Blake. The family seeks sanctuary in an isolated home, but the lurking monster relentlessly stalks them from the outside as Blake’s condition worsens. Unbeknownst to him, he is undergoing a disturbing transformation into the malevolent entity known as the Wolf Man.
The gripping trailer concludes with Charlotte and Ginger desperately trying to escape from Blake, now fully embodying the Wolf Man, poised menacingly in front of their vehicle.
Wolf Man features a talented cast including Sam Jaeger, Ben Prendergast, and Benedict Hardie (The Invisible Man).
Directed by Leigh Whannell, Wolf Man is based on a screenplay co-written by Whannell alongside Corbett Tuck, Lauren Schuker Blum, and Rebecca Angelo. Whannell, known for his contributions to horror and sci-fi, previously wrote the original Saw trilogy and multiple entries in the Insidious franchise. This film marks Whannell’s return to directing since 2020’s critically and commercially successful The Invisible Man, which grossed over $144 million worldwide on a modest $7 million budget.
Prominent horror producer Jason Blum from Blumhouse Productions is behind Wolf Man, with executive producers including Whannell, Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, and Mel Turner. Initially, Gosling was slated to play the titular role before stepping away in December 2023.
Wolf Man is set to hit theaters on January 17, 2025.
