Leigh Whannell Introduces The New Era of Terror in Wolf Man Video

Universal Pictures has released a brand new Wolf Man video, providing viewers with a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming reboot of the classic 1941 movie of the same name. It is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on January 17, 2025.

“The film follows 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,” reads the synopsis.

“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, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable, and Charlotte will be forced to decide whether the terror within their house is more lethal than the danger without.”
