Wolf Man’s Julia Garner compares horror reboot to “seven stages of grief”
The movie “Wolf Man” revives the classic Universal Horror character on the silver screen, while Julia Garner hints at a refreshing new approach in this modern adaptation.
In the latest film, we find Blake, portrayed by Christopher Abbott, escorting his wife Charlotte, played by Garner, along with their daughter, to his remote childhood home situated in the countryside. The intention is to mend their troubled marriage.
Yet, whenever a hidden beast assaults them, they are forced to secure their home as a refuge, and as the night deepens, Blake displays peculiar behavior.
In an interview with Digital Spy, Garner discussed their intention to portray the effects of Blake’s transformation not only on Charlotte but also on their overall relationship, rather than solely concentrating on the creature itself.
At the outset, I shared with Leigh that the story seemed to encompass the seven stages of grief over the course of a single night. My intention was for the viewers to experience something akin to seven stages of grief during this one-night event, as described.
It ought to seem nearly as if a health issue, beyond their control, and they’re managing through the grief of losing something.
Leigh Whannell, a collaborator and the filmmaker behind it, has expressed similar thoughts. Notably, he was also responsible for modernizing another renowned Universal Monster tale through the 2020 movie titled “The Invisible Man.
He reflected on the fact that the tale was centered around change, and how it mirrored a struggle with illness. Speaking of his interpretation of “The Wolf Man”, this was his reflection.
As a concerned individual, I’ve witnessed the heart-wrenching struggles of my loved ones battling degenerative and terminal illnesses. It’s like watching a tragic movie in real life, where the ending is never what you hope for. This experience has led me to ponder deeply about its themes.
The initial piece was penned during the COVID-19 pandemic, when everything seemed uncertain. The world seemed to be out of balance. It was an unusual and frightening period, as you might recall. Creating something that captures the pervasive atmosphere of that time serves as a form of release.
Prior to its premiere, Whannell shared with Digital Spy the reason behind incorporating a nod to his groundbreaking film, Saw, into Wolf Man.
Wolf Man is released in cinemas on January 17.
