Universal Pictures has dropped a brand-new trailer for The Wolf Man, a fresh take on the iconic 1941 classic, helmed by horror maestro Leigh Whannell. Known for his work on The Invisible Man and Upgrade, Whannell’s new film promises to delve deep into the terror of transformation, both physical and psychological, as it explores the monstrous legacy of the Wolf Man mythos. Set for release on January 17th, 2025, the film stars Christopher Abbott, Julia Garner, and a talented supporting cast, including Sam Jaeger, Matilda Firth, Ben Prendergast, and Benedict Hardie.
In The Wolf Man, Abbott plays Blake, a San Francisco husband and father whose life is turned upside down when he inherits his childhood home in rural Oregon after his father mysteriously vanishes and is presumed dead. Struggling with a crumbling marriage to his high-powered wife, Charlotte (played by Julia Garner), Blake convinces her to take a break from the city and visit the remote farmhouse with their young daughter, Ginger (Matilda Firth). However, their family retreat quickly descends into a nightmare when an unseen creature attacks them as they approach the property, forcing them to barricade themselves inside for safety.
As the night wears on, Blake’s behavior begins to shift, and he undergoes a terrifying transformation. The line between man and monster blurs as Blake becomes something far more sinister, and Charlotte must confront an unimaginable choice: is the terror inside the house more dangerous than the creature outside? The film promises to explore both the external and internal horrors of Blake’s metamorphosis, with a tense, emotional core at its heart.
Written by Leigh Whannell, Corbett Tuck, Lauren Schuker Blum, and Rebecca Angelo, The Wolf Man promises a modern, chilling reimagining of the classic tale, combining psychological horror with physical terror. As Blake’s transformation unfolds, it’s clear that this is not just a fight for survival but a battle against something far more primal. Fans of the original film and modern horror alike will find plenty to sink their teeth into in this highly anticipated release. Mark your calendars for January 17th, 2025, as The Wolf Man is sure to leave audiences howling for more.
