Leigh Whannell's Wolf Man Set for 2025 Release

Leigh Whannell's upcoming horror film, Wolf Man, is set to hit theaters on January 17, 2025, featuring Christopher Abbott as Blake, a man whose family faces a deadly werewolf threat. The film explores Blake's struggle with his transforming nature amidst personal turmoil, including a decaying marriage with his wife Charlotte, played by Julia Garner. Whannell aims to redefine the werewolf genre by creating a 'straight-up, pure horror' experience, distancing his interpretation from nostalgic versions of the classic tale. This reboot connects to Whannell's previous work, The Invisible Man, as he seeks to innovate rather than replicate existing narratives. The film promises a gripping narrative as the family attempts to survive a night of terror while Blake confronts his monstrous transformation. The anticipation builds with a new image released by Empire Magazine, showcasing the dark tone of the story.
