Universal Pictures has released a new trailer for Wolf Man, a re-imagining of the Lon Chaney classic.
In Wolf Man, Christopher Abbott plays Blake, a father bitten by a wolf after his family is in an automobile accident. Taking refuge in a cabin, his wife Charlotte (Julia Garner) and daughter Ginger (Matilda Firth) begin to notice his changes. Sam Jaeger, Benedict Hardie, Ben Prendergast, Zac Chandler, Beatriz Romilly and Milo Cawthorne also star.
The official synopsis reads: “The film follows Blake (Abbott), 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 (Garner), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Matilda 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, 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.”
Leigh Whannell wrote and directed Wolf Man; with Ryan Gosling and Jason Blum producing and Whannell, Beatriz Sequeira, Mel Turner and Ken Kao serving as executive producers.
