Film Studio Universal has tried many years to restart his series of films about monsters, which came out in the 1930s. After the failure of "Mummy" with Tom Cruise, it seemed that the project was finally buried. But the success of the film Lee Wonnell's "Invisible Man" film again revived interest in this project. And determined the formula, on the basis of which the franchise will develop - "Classic Monster Universal in modern conditions". Works are already working on the films about Dracula, Frankenstein and a black lagoon creature.
Lee Wannell was invited to work on another film of the film dealer - about the Wolf man. And he originally refused. But Producer Jason Bloom knew how to influence the director. Knowing about a long desire of Li Wansnell and Ryan Gosling to work in one project, he invited the stateling to a major role. This made it possible to continue negotiations with Wansnell.
It is known that the idea of Wansnell on TV presenter will be based on the idea of the TV presenter, accidentally infected with lycantrophopia and hiding the disease from others. In the creation of the Wannell Scenario, Lauren Shukher Bloom and Rebecca Angelo will be helped ("Orange - New Black"). The new film is described as similar by the tone on the "teletell" of Sidney Lumet and Stringer Dan Gilroy.
At the moment, Wonnell is working to turn his film "Upgrade" in the series.
