Ryan Gosling won’t be Blumhouse’s Wolf Man, here’s his replacement
Derek Cianfrance also leaves his place as director: it is finally Leigh Whannell (Invisible Man) who sticks to it.
3 years ago, Ryan Gosling signed with Blumhouse and Universal for a new version of Wolf Manone of the most famous monsters of this firm, who was notably played by Lon Chaney Jr. in a 1941 horror film or by Benicio Del Toro in 2010. Leigh Whannell had just been a hit with Invisible Manmodern rereading of The invisible Man worn by Elisabeth Moss, so much so that the studio seemed ready to relaunch its monstrous saga with films less expensive than The Mummy with Tom Cruise.
Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo (Orange is the New Black) were hired to write it, then Derek Cianfrancewho had already filmed Gosling in Blue Valentine And The Place Beyond the Pines, joined this project. Before leaving him: if Gosling, who must soon turn a prequel toOcean’s 11 with Margot Robbie, remains producer of this new Wolf Manit is ultimately Whannell who will film this werewolf story from a script reworked by himself and Corbett Tuck (Insidious). And it’s Christopher Abbottseen recently in Catch-22 and soon in Poor creatures alongside Emma Stone, who was chosen to be the hero.
Wolf Man has no filming or release dates yet, but it will mark the director’s fourth collaboration with Blumhouse, for whom he filmed Insidious 3 And Upgrade in addition to his version of The invisible Man.
