There is a new Wolf Man film popping out quickly, in case you forgot, and because it’s directed by The Invisible Man’s (2020) Leigh Whannell, we had been form of enthusiastic about it, however our (supposed) first have a look at the monster’s design has left us cackling as an alternative of terrified.
By way of X/Twitter consumer SpeculationMatt, who appears to concentrate on overlaying Halloween Horror Nights (that is an attention-grabbing area of interest for certain), we have got our first have a look at Blumhouse and Common’s Wolf Man’s wolfman, or at the least that is what we’re speculated to get from this advertising kickoff, proper?
As you may see, the costume appears moderately low-cost, however that is not the actual situation, as we extremely doubt they’re simply giving to performers actual copies of the costumes being utilized in movie productions. What’s worrying is the design itself, which has little-to-no wolf options in it. I imply, that is simply an previous man was a background fantasy character freak. The truth is, I am fairly certain I am a extra convincing wolfman once I’ve gone two months with out visiting the barbershop and do not get my morning caffeine.
Low-cost jokes apart, there is a stable likelihood that truly is not Wolf Man’s titular wolfman. Positive, you’d count on the large Halloween Horror Nights reveal for the film to characteristic the precise wolfman, however different sights and performers (simply scroll by the consumer’s current movies), many different costumes do not look particularly near their respective on-screen elements both. What could be the purpose of showing the film with out a correct monster reveal? Effectively, I do not f**king know, however I do know for certain that movie executives are simply rolling the cube on a regular basis, so there is a non-zero likelihood somebody thought it would be a good suggestion to place a random Halloween costume in entrance of a obscure banner for the horror flick and name it a day till the primary trailer releases.
The dangerous (however funniest) ending is that this half-orc or no matter truly represents at the least one wolfman from Wolf Man, by which case we’re in for a correct wacko experience. I’m wondering if he’ll be guarding a bridge sooner or later if that is the case.
This contemporary tackle 1941’s The Wolf Man is releasing in theaters on (F**okay You, It is) January 17, 2025, so a trailer ought to be with us quickly for higher or worse. In the meantime, James Wan may very well be prepping a Creature from the Black Lagoon reboot for Common’s fashionable ‘traditional monsters’ push.
