“I swear to God it was standing on two feet.” Here we go! Universal has revealed the first look teaser trailer for the new Wolf Man movie, arriving in theaters January 2025 early next year. Produced by Jason Blum and Blumhouse, this is the latest update on the classic Universal Monster originally invented with the 1941 film The Wolf Man. Most recently there was another 2010 remake called The Wolfman starring Benicio Del Toro, which received mostly mixed reviews. From Blumhouse and visionary writer-director Leigh Whannell, the creators of the chilling modern monster tale The Invisible Man (2020), comes a terrifying new lupine nightmare: Wolf Man. The new tagline: “What if someone you loved became something else?” A man must protect himself and his family when they are being stalked, terrorized, and haunted by a deadly werewolf at night during a full moon. Christopher Abbott stars with Julia Garner, Sam Jaeger, Matilda Firth, Ben Prendergast, and Benedict Hardie. Of course they don’t show the full Wolf Man look in this teaser, but there’s some scary glimpses. And I really dig the title reveal borrowing from the classic Alien title reveal.

Here’s the first look teaser trailer for Leigh Whannell’s horror film Wolf Man, direct from YouTube:

Christopher Abbott stars as 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 (Julia Garner), fraying, Blake persuades her to take a break from the city and visit the property with their daughter, Ginger (Matlida Firth). But as the family approaches the farmhouse in the dead of night, they’re attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate escape, they 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. Wolf Man is directed by acclaimed Australian filmmaker Leigh Whannell, director of the films Insidious: Chapter 3, Upgrade, and The Invisible Man previously; writer for the Saw series, Dead Silence, The Mule. The screenplay is written by Leigh Whannell & Corbett Tuck, Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo. Inspired by the 1941 classic The Wolf Man. Produced by Jason Blum (and executive produced by Ryan Gosling!). Universal will debut Whannell’s Wolf Man movie in theaters nationwide starting on January 17th, 2025 early next year.
