There have been some big changes behind the scenes, though:Barbie’s Ryan Gosling is no longer attached to play the titular monster. Instead, Christopher Abbott, who’s best known for his appearances in Sanctuary, Possessor, andPoor Things, will take on the role, according toThe Hollywood Reporter. It’s worth noting, however, that Gosling remains involved in the project as an executive producer.
Written by Whannell and Corbett Tuck, as well as Dumb Money’s Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, plot details for Wolf Man remain under wraps, but we can assume it’ll follow a similar story to Universal’s 1941 picture of the same name, which sees a man transform into a beast after being bitten by a werewolf.
If it’s anything like The Invisible Man, mind you, which saw Whannell center the story on Elisabeth Moss’s Cecilia Kass, a woman terrorized by her tech-savvy ex-partner, then it’s bound to shake things up somewhat.
