There’s a reboot of the classic Universal Monsters property The Wolf Man coming our way from Blumhouse Productions and The Invisible Man (2020) director Leigh Whannell, aiming for a January 17, 2025 theatrical release – and the folks at Empire have just unveiled a new image from the film, which can be seen at the bottom of this article. Empire also shared some quotes from Whannell where he said he’s aiming to make this different from every other werewolf movie we’ve seen, and described the project as “straight-up, pure horror.”
The leads of Wolf Man are Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner, both of whom were in the 2011 film Martha Marcy May Marlene. Abbott is taking on the role of a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator. Garner is playing his wife, a character described as being a mother whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Following the recent trailer, Empire Magazine has shared a new official image from the upcoming Wolf Man reboot, and it finds Christopher Abbott's protagonist, Blake, beginning his Lycanthropic transformation.
Our first look at the titular werewolf via an actor in a costume at Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights was met with a lot of backlash, but the trailer did suggest that this will be the monster responsible for the initial attack, leaving Blake to change into a different beast altogether.
Director Leigh Whannell tells the mag that this movie represents his return to "pure horror" after working on Upgrade and The Invisible Man.
“Upgrade was more sci-fi action. I was watching a lot of domestic thrillers when I wrote The Invisible Man, because I love that genre. [Wolf Man] is me saying, ‘I just wanted to make something that is straight-up, pure horror.’”

Director Leigh Whannell (The Invisible Man) returns to the world of the Universal Monsters with next year’s Wolf Man, and Empire has shared a brand new image this week.
Additionally, the outlet sat down for a chat with Whannell that has been published in part this morning. Whannell promises that his Wolf Man is a straight up horror movie, for starters. He also teases that the new movie aims to bring something fresh to the werewolf sub-genre.
Whannell explains, “Upgrade was more sci-fi action. I was watching a lot of domestic thrillers when I wrote The Invisible Man, because I love that genre. [Wolf Man] is me saying, ‘I just wanted to make something that is straight-up, pure horror.’”
“I think of it as a companion piece to The Invisible Man,” he continues. “I didn’t want this film to be a nostalgic or a retro Wolf Man film in any way.

Leigh Whannell has long had a propensity for producing palpitation-inducing terror. He co-created both Saw and Insidious alongside James Wan; stepped up as director for Insidious: Chapter 3; and more recently has conjured gag-worthy gore and breathless tension with the likes of Upgrade and The Invisible Man. But as Whannell sees it, his previous two critically-lauded features have been more horror-adjacent genre hybrids – and with his upcoming Wolf Man, another fresh take on one of Universal’s classic monsters, he’s ready to really scare you again.
“Upgrade was more sci-fi action,” Whannell tells Empire. “I was watching a lot of domestic thrillers when I wrote The Invisible Man, because I love that genre. [Wolf Man] is me saying, ‘I just wanted to make something that is straight-up, pure horror.’” At the heart of the lycanthropic lunacy is Christopher Abbott, whose Blake returns to his childhood home in the Oregon wilderness,...

The full moon no longer seems to be shining in the night sky over Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights event. Earlier this month a photo op was set up where guests could both interact with and take pictures with the Wolf Man, specifically the one from the upcoming 2025 reimagining from Blumhouse.

However, after a month, the display is gone. The area that once featured a backdrop with the Wolf Man logo and props to better immerse guests has now been replaced with a generic “Halloween Horror Nights” backdrop.
The disappearance of the display might have to do with the massive online backlash over the reveal of the monster’s design. He looked less like a wolf and more like a goblin from the Harry Potter films.

40 years ago, cinema’s ultimate cyborg teleported into the Hollywood landscape in a lightning strike. It couldn’t be bargained with. It couldn’t be reasoned with. It didn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear – and for four decades, it absolutely has not stopped. Yes, 2024 marks 40 years of The Terminator – James Cameron’s time-twisting sci-fi horror, which gave Arnold Schwarzenegger his most iconic role, launched the career of the most successful filmmaker of all time, and spawned one of the greatest sequels ever made. Hasta la vista, baby.
The new issue of Empire marks the momentous anniversary of The Terminator with a major, world-exclusive new James Cameron interview – speaking to the legendary director about the making of his debut feature proper; the ongoing legacy of The Terminator and its many sequels; the thematic preoccupations that have reverberated throughout his career; his changing relationship with the original film; and what...

This past weekend, Universal released the first teaser trailer for their upcoming remake of the 1941 classic The Wolfman. This reimagining of the character sets the story in the modern day, similar to the 2020 remake of The Invisible Man, also directed by Leigh Whannell.
The official Wolf Man synopsis reads:
Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott 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, fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger.
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,...

Early next year, Universal and Blumhouse will continue their reanimation of the Universal Monsters with the release of director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man. Whannell, who also directed Insidious 3 and Upgrade for Blumhouse, was the man responsible for bringing The Invisible Man back to life in 2020. He did so with a modern twist on the character that turned out to be more than just a moderate success. The Invisible Man raked in $144 million on a $7 million budget, receiving mostly positive reviews.
With horror doing better than ever at the box office and Whannell arguably without a miss on his directing resume, hopes are high for Wolf Man, howling into theaters on January 17, 2025.
But this isn’t the first time a modern Wolf Man project sounded good on paper…

Photo Credit: Universal Pictures The line between man and beast blurs in this chilling new horror from Blumhouse.

Spooky season may be fast approaching, but if Universal Pictures has its way it'll last all the way into January. Today, the first official teaser for Wolf Man was unveiled. If this is the first you're hearing about it...well, it's exactly what it sounds like. This is Universal and Blumhouse's take on the classic 1941 Universal monster flick, about a werewolf who howls at the moon, chomps up unfortunates who stray into his path, and otherwise does the things you'd expect a werewolf to do.
In this latest version of the Wolf Man, it seems like he'll be dealing with an awful lot of emotional turmoil as well. In the teaser, which you can watch above, we see the first terrifying hints of the Wolf Man's transformation, and how his family reacts to having a lycanthrope in their midst.

Likely as a response to the backlash our recent first look at the titular werewolf via an actor in a costume at Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights received, Blumhouse has released the first official teaser trailer for Leigh Whannell's Wolf Man.
While the trailer mostly keeps the beast under wraps aside from a few shadowy shots, we do get a couple of very quick glimpses of the creature running through the forest, and another through a rifle scope.
It's quite blurry and difficult to make out too many details, but based on what we do see, it does look like the display costume was indeed influenced by the movie monster.
At any rate, this is a very effective teaser, and should garner some more positive feedback from horror fans.
Check out the trailer along with a poster and a lengthy synopsis, and let us know what you think in the comments section down below.

After making thin air terrifying again with 2020’s atmospheric and chilling horror film The Invisible Man, Leigh Whannell is taking another bite out of the Universal Monsters rogue’s gallery with Wolf Man. Before everyone logs off for the weekend, Whannell and Blumhouse hit horror fans with a Wolf Man teaser trailer, previewing the filmmaker’s latest bone-chilling horror film.
Today’s Wolf Man teaser trailer begins with footage of a praying mantis stalking an unsuspecting lunch, striking with lightning-fast speed as the meal feels fangs piercing its exterior. As the words Wolf Man steadily slash onto the screen, the footage shows a remote house in Oregon where a mysterious animal waits in the woods. While trying to adjust to their new lives, Christopher Abbott is attacked by what he says is a ferocious wolf-like creature standing on two legs.

Leigh Whannell’s upcoming monster movie just got its first spooky teaser. Here’s the Wolf Man trailer.
It feels like Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man has been in the making for a small eternity now, but finally, the first reels of footage have been unleashed on the internet.
Universal Pictures has released the first teaser trailer for Whannell’s creature feature, which you can find below.
Well, colour us teased. We get a few glimpses of what might await our characters, but for the most part, Whannell keeps the monster hidden at this stage. Whannell directed the superb, very successful The Invisible Man, so we’d say the director knows a thing or two about concealing villains and making your audience wait for the reveal.
Wolf Man has gone through a lot of production troubles. Whannell was replaced by Derek Cianfrance momentarily before returning to helm the film and...

Things are getting hairy for Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner in the first teaser trailer for Wolf Man.
Universal Pictures is set to release director Leigh Whannell’s horror feature in theaters Jan. 17, 2025. The film is a reimagining of the classic monster franchise that launched with 1941’s The Wolf Man. The new version centers on a man whose family is hunted by a deadly predator.
“It sounded like an animal,” Abbott says in the trailer. “But I swear to God, it was standing on two feet.”
Later, a young girl asks, “What’s wrong with Daddy?”
Sam Jaeger and Matilda Firth round out the cast. Blumhouse and Motel Movies are behind the film that previously had Ryan Gosling attached as the lead before Abbott took over in the title role.
Jason Blum produces the movie that counts Whannell, Gosling, Ken Kao, Beatriz Sequeira and Melanie Turner as executive producers.

Universal’s “Wolf Man” returns.
The new movie, producd by Jason Blum and his Blumhouse Productions shingle, arrives in theaters on January 17, 2025. But a brand-new teaser, perfectly timed for spooky season, shines a light on what to expect from the latest iteration of the story that first arrived in 1941. Watch the trailer below.
More of a teaser than anything else, this new “Wolf Man” stars Christopher Abbott as Lawrence “Larry” Talbot, the character played by Lon Chaney Jr. in the original film and most recently potrayed by Benicio del Toro in 2010’s “The Wolfman.” In this iteration, he’s a young husband and father who is attempting to protect his family from a nocturnal creature. Julia Garner (“Ozark”), who also appears in a “Rosemary’s Baby” prequel for Paramount+ this fall, is his wife.

Erstmals gibt es Bewegtbild aus dem nach „Der Unsichtbare“ zweiten Film von Blumhouse aus dem Universal-Monsterverse, „Wolf Man“ von Regisseur Leigh Wannell mit Christopher Abbott aus „Poor Things“ in der Titelrolle.
In den letzten Jahren hatte es bei Universal wiederholt Versuche gegeben, die klassische Geschichte des Werwolfs wieder aufleben zu lassen, zuletzt im kurzlebigen Dark Universe, wo die Figur von Benicio Del Toro gespielt worden war. Nach dem Erfolg von „Der Unsichtbare“ vor vier Jahren steht Regisseur Leigh Wannellnicht nur bei Blumhouse, sondern auch beim Studio hoch im Kurs, ein gutes Händchen für moderne Neuinterpretationen der klassischen Tropen zu haben. Im Januar wird nun sein „Wolf Man“ in die Kinos kommen, mit Christopher Abbott aus „Poor Things“ in der Titelrolle. Jetzt hat Universal einen ersten Teaser veröffentlicht.

"I swear to God it was standing on two feet." Here we go! Universal has revealed the first look teaser trailer for the new Wolf Man movie, arriving in theaters January 2025 early next year. Produced by Jason Blum and Blumhouse, this is the latest update on the classic Universal Monster originally invented with the 1941 film The Wolf Man. Most recently there was another 2010 remake called The Wolfman starring Benicio Del Toro, which received mostly mixed reviews. From Blumhouse and visionary writer-director Leigh Whannell, the creators of the chilling modern monster tale The Invisible Man (2020), comes a terrifying new lupine nightmare: Wolf Man. The new tagline: "What if someone you loved became something else?" A man must protect himself and his family when they are being stalked, terrorized, and haunted by a deadly werewolf at night during a full moon. Christopher Abbott stars with Julia Garner, Sam Jaeger, Matilda Firth, Ben Prendergast,...

The promotion cycle for Universal's upcoming "Wolf Man" remake is off to a rocky start, after the creature design for the titular monster was revealed ... as a costume at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights. While we can assume that the movie version of the werewolf costume will be more impressive than the haunted house version, horror fans were understandably underwhelmed by this first look at the white-haired, mush-faced monster.
Seemingly in an effort at damage control, Universal has dropped the first teaser trailer for "Wolf Man," which was directed by Leigh Whannell and stars Christopher Abbott ("Poor Things") as the unfortunate family man who becomes a thrall of the full moon. There's just one problem: The teaser doesn't really show the Wolf Man -- just brief, blurry glimpses of it and an attack by a hairy arm. There's no image here to replace the viral shots of the Halloween Horror...

Universal Pictures and Blumhouse have revealed the official teaser trailer and poster for Wolf Man, which will open in theaters on January 17, 2024.
From Blumhouse and writer-director Leigh Whannell, the creators of the chilling modern monster tale The Invisible Man, comes a terrifying new lupine nightmare: Wolf Man.
What if someone you loved became something else? Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott 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, fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger.
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.

Awooo! Universal and Blumhouse have released the first trailer for “Wolf Man,” starring Christopher Abbott as the classic horror monster.
Abbott stars alongside Julia Garner. The film marks an on-screen reunion for the actors, as the pair worked together in 2011’s “Martha, Marcy, May, Marlene,” Garner’s first professional acting role.
This is not Abbott’s debut in the horror genre, having starred in 2017’s “It Comes at Night.” Abbott also appeared recently in the Oscar-nominated “Poor Things” and 2019’s “Catch-22.” Garner rose to acclaim following her three-time Emmy-winning performance as Ruth Langmore in “Ozark.” She was also given a nod for 2022’s “Inventing Anna,” receiving an Emmy nomination for her turn as Anna Delvey in Shonda Rhimes’ limited series.
“Wolf Man” is directed by Leigh Whannell, the “Saw” co-creator who also helmed the 2020 horror hit “The Invisible Man,” which grossed $144 million at the global box office. It is also...

Who can forget Universal’s ill-fated Dark Universe that failed right out of the gate with “The Mummy” starring Tom Cruise, despite having announced an entire cast to play Universal monster characters like Bride Of Frankenstein, Creature From The Black Lagoon and more. Thankfully, Blumhouse, the independent horror studio set up at Universal, took over the Monsterverse and successfully relaunched it with the terrific horror thriller, “The Invisible Man.

Director Leigh Whannell (The Invisible Man) returns to the world of the Universal Monsters with next year’s Wolf Man, and the short-and-sweet teaser trailer has arrived today.
From Universal and Blumhouse, Whannell’s Wolf Man will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025, and you can watch the first look official teaser down below.
The teaser has been unleashed by Universal in the wake of a questionable Halloween Horror Nights costume based on the movie going viral online, though the teaser doesn’t actually give us a glimpse of the Wolf Man character design. Instead, it effectively sets the mood for a savage werewolf movie through only brief glimpses of Whannell’s fresh take on the material.
On that note, don’t judge a movie by its Halloween Horror Nights costume!
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Yesterday, we got our first look at what was believed to be the new Wolfman design for Universal and Blumhouse's upcoming reboot (titled Wolf Man), with an actor donning a monster costume to jump out at passers-by at Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights takeover attraction.
The reveal was met with a decidedly mixed response (and we're probably being kind there) from fans, most of whom felt that the titular lycanthrope looked more like some kind of mutant hillbilly from the Wrong Turn movies than an actual werewolf.
There was speculation that this might simply be a guy in a thrown-together outfit and not indicative of the Wolfman's official look, but insider Daniel Richtman believes this is indeed how the creature will be depicted in the movie - though it is said to "look slightly better in the actual film."
It's certainly... a choice! But we're sure it will look at lot better in the movie,...

Earlier this year, it was announced that a remake of the 1941 horror movie classic The Wolf Man was being made at Blumhouse. Filming began in March with Leigh Whannell, the director behind the successful 2020 remake of The Invisible Man, returning and Christopher Abbot playing the titular monster. The movie is the latest in the reimagining of the classic monsters from the studio behind the Paranormal Activity franchise.
Many were curious as to how the studio would handle the story, as their take on the Invisible Man was very different form the 1933 original. The last time The Wolf Man was seen on screen was the 2010 version starring Benicio del Toro and Anthony Hopkins.
Now, at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights event in Universal Studios, guests got a sneak peak at the look of this new Wolf Man version and it is, well…

A John Steinbeck novel and classic James Dean film, East Of Eden is set for a Netflix TV adaptation starring Florence Pugh and Christopher Abbot.
James Dean famously only made three films, one of them being a film adaptation of East Of Eden. The original novel was by John Steinbeck, that giant of American literature, and his transplanting of the Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel Biblical tale into a sprawling early 20th Century Californian epic remains a wonderful read.
The 1955 film was responsible for building James Dean’s status as a Hollywood legend, a status that would be forever confirmed by his death the same year, shortly before the release of Rebel Without A Cause. Steinbeck’s book covers a significantly longer period than the 1955 film, so much in fact that it would take a TV series to do it justice. Rejoice then, because that’s exactly what we’re getting.

When Wolf Man was first announced in 2020, Ryan Gosling was set to star in it – and in fact, it got rolling when Gosling pitched this take on the concept of The Wolf Man to Universal, and his idea was then fleshed out into a screenplay by Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, a writing duo that previously worked on Orange Is the New Black. At the time, it was said the story was “believed to be set in present times and in the vein of Jake Gyllenhaal’s thriller Nightcrawler with an obvious supernatural twist.” The final version of the script is credited to Blum and Angelo, as well as Whannell and his wife Corbett Tuck.
Unfortunately, the project would get delayed and Gosling would depart from the planned reboot. The leads of the film will be Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner, both of whom were in the 2011 film Martha Marcy May Marlene.

Filmmaking is a ruthless business. You grind yourself half to death trying to make a name for yourself, finally make it to the big leagues with a well-received hit like Leigh Whannell's "The Invisible Man," parlay that success into a top-secret project like "Wolf Man," and then some harebrained marketing stunt goes and ruins it all. If that sounds a little dramatic, well, that's only because you haven't yet seen the latest big reveal from -- of all places -- this year's Halloween Horror Nights event at Universal Studios in Los Angeles. The annual spooky fest has always been a treat for theme park aficionados, but this time it came with an extra surprise: our first public look at Whannell's "Wolf Man" (lucky CinemaCon attendees already got a sneak peek earlier in April). To put it generously, the reactions are decidedly ... mixed.

There's a lot of buzz surrounding next January's Wolf Man, Blumhouse's latest movie to put the spotlight on a classic Universal Monster. However, this first look...well, we're guessing it's not what most of you expected.
The character just made his official debut at the latest Halloween Horror Nights in Universal Studios and, while this costume might not be representative of exactly what we'll see in the final movie, the design itself is splitting opinions. He certainly doesn't look like a traditional "Wolfman," anyway, and this feels like a creative decision which could come back to bite the reboot.
It's too late to change it now, of course, and if nothing else, this sneak peek suggests the new Wolf Man will be a 100% practical creation; clearly, the plan is to go for the same vibe as the 1941 classic and there are some similarities in that respect.

Christopher Abbott is looking to establish himself as the next James Dean.
The “Girls” alum could be returning to TV with the upcoming Netflix adaptation of “East Of Eden,” which was Dean’s first major film debut in 1955. Both projects are based on the John Steinbeck novel. Deadline reported that Abbott was in talks to be cast.
As previously announced in 2022, Zoe Kazan is writing and executive producing the series that is led by Florence Pugh, who will also co-produce along with Anonymous Content and Endeavor Content.
Kazan’s grandfather Elia Kazan directed the 1955 film for Warner Bros. that centered on the Trask family.
Deadline reported that Abbott would play Cal Trask in the series; the character was first brought to the screen by Dean. Pugh will play antiheroine Cathy Ames, portrayed by Jo Van Fleet in the 1955 film. Van Fleet won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her turn...

Julia Garner’s new home is not quite what she expected in the first trailer for Paramount+’s Rosemary’s Baby prequel feature, Apartment 7A.
The psychological horror movie from director Natalie Erika James hits the streaming service and digital VOD on Sept. 27. The cast includes Dianne Wiest, Kevin McNally, Jim Sturgess, Marli Siu, Andrew Buchan, Rosy McEwen and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith.
Apartment 7A focuses on Terry Gionoffrio (Garner), an aspiring dancer in New York City who suffers an injury and moves into a luxury apartment building called the Bramford with an affluent couple (Wiest and McNally). After a Broadway producer (Sturgess) offers her a path to fame, Terry has an evening she can’t quite remember and suspects that something evil inhabits her apartment and the building itself.

Wolf Man: First Promo Poster For Leigh Whannell's Reboot Reveals Official Logo & A Chilling Location
"Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and Autumn moon is bright."
Universal and Blumhouse's long-awaited Wolfman movie (now known as Wolf Man) went through a hairy (sorry) phase of production late last year, but cameras officially started rolling back in March, and we now have our first official look at an early promo poster for the film (via FearHQ.com).
The banner was spotted on display at Universal Orlando as part of the park's Halloween Horror Nights takeover. The image gives us a first look at the movie's logo and what will presumably be the primary location of the story, but no sign of the titular lycanthrope, who will likely be kept under wraps until well into the marketing phase.

This photo op can be found outside the Fanta Bar at Lombard’s Seafood Grille, and gives a look at an isolated home setting that’s dressed with overgrown weeds, straw, a No Trespassing sign, and an old wheelbarrow:

Acclaimed horror director James Wan is reportedly in discussions to helm a remake of the 1954 film “Creature from the Black Lagoon.” If finalized, the project would mark Universal Pictures’ newest effort to revive its iconic monster franchises for modern audiences.
The original movie, directed by Jack Arnold, tells the story of scientists who discover an ancient aquatic humanoid in the Amazon River. Featuring groundbreaking 3D effects and practical creature costumes, “Creature from the Black Lagoon” is considered foundational to the horror genre.
Wan, known for hits like “Saw,” “The Conjuring,” and “Insidious,” brings considerable experience directing horror films. However, faithfully adapting the iconic Gill-man monster poses challenges. The original practical effects and performances by Ben Chapman and Ricou Browning made the Gill-man viscerally terrifying. Some worry a remake may over-rely on computer-generated imagery (CGI), harming its tactile essence.
One example the remake could follow is 2017’s “The Shape of Water,...

There are classic films, then there are all-time classics that are damn near untouchable. Such is the case with Universal's "Creature from the Black Lagoon." First released in 1954, director Jack Arnold's heralded creature feature is among the most acclaimed of the Universal Monsters classics, right up there with "Bride of Frankenstein." While the film is close to untouchable, a modern horror master is going to take a crack at it anyway.
We recently learned that James Wan is developing a "Creature from the Black Lagoon" remake that he intends to direct. This would be his return to horror following the release of last year's "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom." More than that, one could argue it's the most bold creative risk Wan has taken in his wildly successful career. It's hard to picture anyone better suited to the job than Wan. In so many ways, he feels like...

Will horror B-movie audiences finally get the remake they’ve been waiting on for decades? Universal is again looking to remake the 1954 monster movie “Creature from the Black Lagoon,” and this time they’re looking to the “Aquaman” director James Wan — someone who knows a thing or two about underwater battles and gill-men — to develop his own modern take, an individual with knowledge of the project told IndieWire.
Wan may direct too and is in early talks to tack on that responsibility. If he does, it would be his first project behind the director’s chair since merging his production company Atomic Monster with Blumhouse Productions.
Wan’s take, according to the individual, will be a grounded, modernized retelling, leaning into “visceral horror,” but it will still pay respect to the original. No screenwriter or talent is attached just yet. Atomic Monster will produce the film, with Wan as a producer.

“Aquaman” director James Wan is returning to the sea for his next feature film. He’s developing a remake of “Creature From the Black Lagoon” and is in early talks to direct for Universal Pictures.
The project is described as a “grounded modernized retelling that leans into visceral horror whilst paying respect to the original classic.” It’s been 70 years since the “Creature From the Black Lagoon” first graced the big screen in the 1954 adaptation directed by Jack Arnold and starring Richard Carlson and Julia Adams. Over the years, several directors including Guillermo del Toro have tried to reboot the black-and-white monster movie about a group of scientists who encounter a prehistoric monster in the Amazonian waters, but none have gotten off the ground.

While frequent collaborator Leigh Whannell works on bringing The Wolf Man back to life, we’ve learned via Deadline today that James Wan is in early talks to direct a new take on horror classic Creature from the Black Lagoon for Atomic Monster and Universal Pictures!
Deadline notes in today’s report, “James Wan is developing a grounded modernized retelling that leans into visceral horror whilst paying respect to the original classic.”
Unlike fellow Universal Monsters classics including Frankenstein, Wolf Man, and Dracula, the Creature from the Black Lagoon hasn’t been the subject of countless remakes over the years, which makes it ripe for revival here in the present day. Guillermo del Toro’s Oscar-winner The Shape of Water was heavily influenced by the classic tale, though not an official adaptation.
