The Rock? He’s already physically threatening. I like the idea of the guy before being the Wolf Man is not exactly intimidating ie Bruce Banner/Hulk.

Ryan Gosling is kind of perfect because he has a lot of anguish behind his eyes but is not exactly imposing to get into a fight with. His intimidation lies internally. Turning into the Wolf Man externalizes that.

After watching TIM again really can’t wait to see what Whannell can do with this, and presumably a higher budget.

Jason Blum talked with Collider about how Gosling actually approached Universal with the idea of making a new film and also the collaboration process between him and Whannell.

Aw, when the hell did Leigh Whannell drop out?

 

[Lily Adler]

Dark Universe or did they retool it?

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

Apparently had to part because of scheduling?

Dark Universe or did they retool it?

Think they’re just doing their own separate films now with no cross-over.

Which makes sense. I mean, what even was the end goal of the Dark Universe? It’s not like we haven’t seen these characters together in live-action before.

But Gosling, Cruise, Depp, Jolie, and Crowe all together.

But Gosling, Cruise, Depp, Jolie, and Crowe all together.

“And on the pedestal these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, king of kings;
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

Great replacement. The Wolfman is my favorite of the monsters so with Gosling in the lead, this could be really cool.

Drive feels like it could be a werewolf movie.

 

[Ninjablade]

Oh wow, I was literally asking about this movie in another thread last night because I watched the original. What are the odds?

Solid replacement. I hope this is good.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

New director seems to have good credentials but man am I bummed Whannell has gone.

 

[shauner111]

The Place Beyond The Pines is one of my favourite movies of all time. I'm beyond excited to get Derek and Ryan back together and for this!? A horror movie? This is going to be unique.

Man, universal has such a cash cow, if only they knew how to get it right....

dog soldiers was the last were wolf movie I enjoyed... as a kid, I assume all kids, love wolf man, vampires and such... movies like monster squad, my best friend is a vampire, teen wolf all cleaned up.. just give us good movies and the rest will flow..

wolf man is such a simple story... they all are really that's why they stick..

[Arachnerd]

Oh.

That's disappointing.

 

[Luigi]

Abbott is a solid replacement.

 

[Filmfreak]

I actually prefer this. I feel like Gosling is overexposed lately and Abbot is a very fine actor.

Christopher Abbott Replacing Ryan Gosling to Star in ‘Wolf Man’ for Blumhouse, Universal (Exclusive)

It's go time for the creature feature, which now has Leigh Whannell in the director's chair and a release date in under a year.

Plot details are being kept on the dark side of the moon but the mysterious story is now focused on a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

 

[Ninjablade]

Aw man. I was really looking forward to seeing Gosling in the role.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Yeah, my interest level just dropped.

 

[Eddie Dean]

I actually prefer this. I feel like Gosling is overexposed lately and Abbot is a very fine actor.

He has been in two films in the past four years.

 

[Kane52630]

Christopher Abbott is the perfect replacement and it's definitely the role that will launch him into bigger things.

I know @Boom will be watching.
