Ryan Gosling reveals why he’s so excited to star in The Wolfman. The Dark Universe may have gone humiliatingly by the wayside after The Mummy flopped at the box office. But despite this embarrassment, Universal is still interested in exploiting their stable of classic 1930s monster movie characters.
Enter Blumhouse Pictures, the company responsible for smash hit horror franchises Paranormal Activity, The Purge, Insidious and Halloween. By teaming with Blumhouse and adopting their low-budget approach, Universal succeeded in getting their own big non-Dark Universe hit out of 2020’s Invisible Man, starring Elisabeth Moss in a reinvention of the great 1933 Claude Rains horror title.
I just would do anything with Derek, but the idea of doing something like that just seems really exciting. It's new for both of us, but in some way, I feel like it's kind of the movie we've made already a few times, but in literal form. We've always kind of made the metaphorical version of it, and it's sort of like the opportunity to really, to just make the literal version of what we've been hacking away at.
Gosling’s involvement in Universal and Blumhouse’s The Wolfman was in fact first announced way back in 2020. It was later reported that Invisible Man helmer Leigh Whannell would take on directing duties for the film. But in 2021 news emerged than Whannell had been replaced by Cianfrance, who would also take on scripting duties. Plot details on the movie are of course still under wraps.
Gosling and Cianfrance’s prior two collaborations, Blue Valentine and The Place Beyond the Pines, obviously both revolved around complicated and even anti-heroic male characters. Going by Gosling’s new remarks, it seems that he and Cianfrance regard their take on the Wolfman as a similar sort of anti-hero, and see exploring his story as another way of tackling the theme of male identity.
One of the best dramas of all time. BlueValentine
