A couple of days old, but what the heck: they’re gonna make a new Wolfman movie. “Months after Universal successfully relaunched its monster universe with Elisabeth Moss’s “The Invisible Man,” the studio is pushing ahead for “Wolfman” — which is being developed as a starring vehicle for Ryan Gosling — to be the next movie based on its catalog of iconic creatures.” Come, I will conceal nothing from you: I had not quite ‘gotten’ that the Moss INVISIBLE MAN was, well, the Invisible Man until it hit theaters.
If I had, I might have gone and seen it! I am the target demographic for that “Dark Universal” thingy: I liked the idea of a bunch of interconnected classic horror flicks. But they went too fast — and God only knows what they thought they were doing with THE MUMMY. I liked it well enough, but they’d have been better off with Russell Crowe doing an entire Hyde movie. Damn, but I would have watched that.
