Ryan Gosling is set to star in a new version of The Wolfman!
The Dark Universe may not be dead after all because news broke that La La Land’s Ryan Gosling will be taking on a new version of The Wolfman.
Ryan Gosling is preparing to star (and produce) a remake of The Wolfman, and while fun, it shows a new step towards the Dark Universe Cinematic Universe. Universal’s monster movies seemed to be on hold with the flop of 2017’s The Mummy, but the success of The Invisible Man has revitalized its need to create the Dark Universe.
According to Variety, the movie is looking for Gosling to star and is being written by Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, who used to write for Orange Is the New Black. The idea for the movie apparently came from a pitch from Gosling himself, and so he’s been part of the project from the ground up.
While exciting, it does go back to the Dark Universe that they were set to be creating. The monster movies of ole are now, in their own way, bringing the idea back into the limelight. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Gosling will play a reporter who gets bitten by a werewolf.
It would be exciting if both The Invisible Man and The Wolfman gave the Dark Universe Cinematic Universe the boost that it needed. While The Mummy was a box office flop, the movie had high hopes for the world it was going to create, and after all of that, it’d be fun to see what plans they actually had for future movies.
Gosling’s take on The Wolfman is definitely going to be more dark and twisted, being described as Nightcrawler-esque. Could that the Wolfman will instill in audiences could reawaken that love of the horror movie monster once more? We hope so!
