In theatres January 17, 2024, we get a new Trailer today for Leigh Whannell‘s WOLF MAN starring Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner.

What if someone you loved became something else?

From Blumhouse and visionary writer-director Leigh Whannell, the creators of the chilling modern monster tale The Invisible Man, comes a terrifying new lupine nightmare: Wolf Man.

Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott (Poor Things, It Comes at Night) stars as Blake, a San Francisco husband and father, who inherits his remote childhood home in rural Oregon after his own father vanishes and is presumed dead. With his marriage to his high-powered wife, Charlotte (Emmy winner Julia Garner; Ozark, Inventing Anna), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Matlida Firth; Hullraisers, Coma).

But as the family approaches the farmhouse in the dead of night, they’re attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate escape, barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. As the night stretches on, however, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable, and Charlotte will be forced to decide whether the terror within their house is more lethal than the danger without.

The film co-stars Sam Jaeger (The Handmaid’s Tale), Ben Prendergast (The Sojourn Audio Drama) and Benedict Hardie (The Invisible Man), with newcomer Zac Chandler, Beatriz Romilly (Shortland Street) and Milo Cawthorne (Shortland Street).

Wolf Man is directed by Whannell and written by Whannell & Corbett Tuck. Whannell’s previous films with Blumhouse include The Invisible Man, Upgradeand Insidious: Chapter 3.

The film is produced by Blumhouse founder and CEO Jason Blum p.g.a., and Ryan Gosling (The Fall Guy, Lost River) and is executive produced by Leigh Whannell, Beatriz Sequeira, Mel Turner and Ken Kao. Universal Pictures and Blumhouse present a Gosling/Waypoint Entertainment production, in association with Cloak & Co: Wolf Man.

In a tribute to Canadian excellence, three striking portrait-style murals will celebrate drag superstar Priyanka, award-winning Canadian actor Paul Sun Hyung-Lee, and one of Canada’s most celebrated filmmakers, the late Jean-Marc Vallée, whose visionary work left an indelible mark on cinema.

Starting today, the murals will appear in each of these culture figures’ hometowns: Priyanka’s vibrant tribute now brightens the heart of Toronto’s Gay Village at the corner of Church and Wellesley, and Paul Sun-Hyung Lee’s mural brings fresh energy to Calgary’s Inglewood neighborhood at The Blue Store (1344 9 Ave SE). To be unveiled later this week, Jean-Marc Vallée is immortalized with a stunning tribute on the Real by Fake building (1455 Rue Saint-Timothée) in Montreal, home to the special effects company that worked on many of his projects.

The mural series, part of the MADE | NOUS Hometown Hero campaign, celebrates the profound influence and achievements of these individuals who have shaped Canadian culture and inspire future generations of creative talent. Through their artistic contributions, Priyanka, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, and Jean-Marc Vallée have left their distinct mark on their hometown cities while making a lasting impact on the national and international stage. The presence of the murals aims to uplift the communities they have touched, fostering creativity and inspiration across the country.

“I remember thinking as a kid, I cannot WAIT to move to Toronto to be a big star! My life changed when I moved to the Gay Village,” said Priyanka. “As someone who found their voice and passion in the heart of Toronto, seeing myself on a mural in the Gay Village feels surreal! It’s a celebration of not just my journey, but of the entire LGBTQ+ community that has supported me every step of the way. I hope this mural inspires others to embrace their uniqueness, live their passion, and remember that anything is possible when you are your true self.”

“Growing up in Calgary, I never imagined I’d be part of something like this,” said Paul Sun Hyung-Lee. “It’s incredibly humbling to see my story reflected in the streets of my hometown. I hope this mural serves as a reminder to everyone that no goal is too big, and no journey is too small to make a lasting impact. Canada’s strength is in our diversity and our stories, and I’m proud to be part of that narrative.”

A statement from Alex & Émile Vallée, the sons of Jean-Marc Vallée: “Our father always believed that storytelling had the power to transcend boundaries and connect people on a deeply emotional level. This mural honors his spirit and his unwavering commitment to his craft. It’s a beautiful tribute to his roots here in Montreal, a city that shaped his vision and where his journey as a filmmaker began. We know he would be deeply moved by this gesture, and we hope it inspires future generations of artists to follow their passion.”

“As Canadians, we’re united by a shared pride of where we come from and the stories only we can tell. By recognizing these hometown heroes in the cities where their journeys began, we can inspire others to pursue their dreams and tell their stories, no matter where they start or where they land,” said Mathieu Chantelois, Executive Vice President, Marketing & Public Affairs, Canada Media Fund. “These murals stand as powerful reminders that greatness can come from anywhere, and that the next wave of Canadian talent is already rising in communities across our country.”

In addition to the murals, MADE | NOUS will donate $5,000 to local charities chosen by each Hometown Hero. Priyanka has selected ASAAP (Alliance for South Asian AIDS Prevention) and 2-Spirited People of the 1st Nations, with the donation being split between the two organizations. Paul Sun-Hyung Lee has chosen the Brain Tumor Foundation of Canada, and a donation in Jean-Marc Vallées honour will be made to the Jean-Marc Vallée Memorial Fund.

The murals were designed by Étienne Dicaire (Priyanka), Charmaine Wong (Paul Sun Hyung-Lee) and Zek (Jean-Marc Vallée).

Starbucks fans and Ozians are in for a fantastical experience, as Starbucks is partnering with
Universal Pictures to celebrate the new cinematic event, Wicked. Through this partnership, the
film’s themes of connection, belonging and joy come to life through exclusive Starbucks beverages
and merchandise.

On Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2024 Starbucks customers in the U.S., Canada and select international markets
can experience the magic of the collaboration inspired by Oz and its beloved characters and
places, including the Emerald City. With new beverages, merchandise and more, Starbucks and
Wicked fans have much to look forward to, because of course, pink goes good with green.

Wicked, arriving in theaters this holiday season, on November 22, is the untold story of the witches
of Oz. The film centers on Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green
skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by
privilege, who has yet to discover her true heart. As they forge an unlikely friendship, their
extraordinary adventures will see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked
Witch of the West. Wicked is the first chapter of a two-part immersive, cultural celebration. Wicked
Part Two is scheduled to arrive in theaters on November 21, 2025.

Wickedly Delicious Drinks

Flying into Starbucks stores for a limited time are two new handcrafted beverages inspired by Oz’s
iconic duo, Glinda and Elphaba. Both pictured above in banner.

Glinda’s Pink Potion

This fantabulous creation features a Mango Dragonfruit Starbucks Refreshers® Beverage hand-
shaken with creamy coconut milk, ice and a scoop of real, freeze-dried dragonfruit. Topped with

silky-smooth nondairy strawberry cold foam, the drink is finished with an Oz-dusting of magic
colourful candy sprinkles.

“When dreaming up this beverage, we were inspired by Glinda’s bright character and of course her
iconic association with all things pink,” said Natalia Vasquez, Starbucks beverage developer. “This
colorful beverage is topped with a nondairy cold foam infused with strawberry puree to add even
more pops of pink, along with colorful candy sprinkles for a drink that is as vibrant as Glinda
herself.”

Elphaba’s Cold Brew

This thrillifying creation features Starbucks Cold Brew, a custom blend of beans grown to steep long
and cold, handcrafted in small batches daily, for a super-smooth flavor. The Cold Brew is
sweetened with peppermint-flavored syrup, topped with silky-smooth nondairy matcha cold foam
and colorful green candy sprinkles for an Oz-dusting of magic.

“We were inspired by Elphaba’s bold energy and stunning green skin when creating this recipe,” said
Rosalyn Batingan, Starbucks beverage developer. “Our signature cold brew gets an unexpected
twist of peppermint topped with a nondairy matcha cold foam for a touch of Elphaba’s famous
green, finished with colourful candy sprinkles.”

For Your Dearest & Darlingest

Starting November 7, look to the Western Sky for new Wicked-inspired drinkware and Starbucks
Cards in select Starbucks stores. With Starbucks Cards straight from Oz and a variety of tumblers
and cold cups glistening in vibrant shades of green, pink and gold to choose from, Starbucks and
Wicked fans will be ready to defy gravity.

Starbucks Wicked-inspired beverages and merchandise are available for a limited time, while
supplies last.

Universal Pictures Canada’s Wicked arrives in theaters November 22, 2024.

Righteous Alliance Entertainment (RAE) and F&M Productions are excited to announce that Canadian production FINCH & MIDLAND has secured Canadian distribution through Equinoxe Films. The highly anticipated project recently wrapped filming in the GTA and is now set for global audiences, with Equinoxe Films also overseeing international sales.

President of Equinoxe Films, Michael Mosca, shared his enthusiasm for bringing this unique story to both Canadian and international audiences;
“FINCH & MIDLAND is a remarkable film that embodies the rich diversity of Canadian cinema, and we are proud to be a part of this journey. The film’s exploration of immigrant experiences in Canada, combined with its predominantly Cantonese-speaking cast, highlights the unique stories that make our country’s film industry so vibrant. We are eager to share this powerful story with audiences not only here in Canada but around the world.”

With a distinctly Canadian voice and featuring a predominantly diverse Asian cast, FINCH & MIDLAND stands out as one of the few Canadian productions to tell such an intimate and authentic immigrant story. The film, written and directed by Timothy Yeung, is inspired by the lives of Hong Kong immigrants who came to Canada in the mid 90s to settle in the Finch and Midland area of Toronto. An anthology, FINCH & MIDLAND tackles themes of survival, identity, and community through their individual struggles and shared hope.

Executive Producer and CEO of RAE, Ridley Tsui, stated, “Equinoxe Films has a strong track record of amplifying Canadian voices with international appeal. This distribution deal is a crucial step in ensuring that the community-driven stories in FINCH & MIDLAND reach a global audience. We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished and excited to take this next step with the team at Equinoxe.”

Executive produced by Ridley Tsui and Annie Lee, and produced by Kim Yu, the film’s talented cast includes a mix of celebrated Hong Kong stars and Canadian actors, including Anthony Wong Chau Sang (The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Infernal Affairs, Hard Boiled), Nina Paw Hee Ching (The Way We Are, Lost in Time), Patrick Tam (Fight for Tomorrow, Beast Cops), Harriet Yeung Tze Man (The Sparring Partner, Port of Call) and former Miss Hong Kong finalist, Theresa Lee (Condor Heroes, The Legendary Siblings), as well as Canadian actor Dmitry Chepovetsky (Children Ruin Everything, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol).

Producer Kim Yu was moved by the script, “FINCH & MIDLAND will hopefully resonate with many people as its themes are universal. Beyond just our community, its stories are poignant and reflect the challenges many have faced in order to settle in a new country.” About the support the crew received while filming, Yu added “We are grateful to so many in our community, from local businesses to community leaders, and countless others who supported the production by providing extra food for the crew, props, and locations. We are also buoyed by the generosity of leading industry suppliers like Keslow Camera, Cinelease, and Urban Post, who have helped ensure we have optimal equipment for this passion project.”

As FINCH & MIDLAND enters post-production, RAE and F&M Productions would like to extend their gratitude to the diverse cast and crew, the local community, and all partners who helped bring this story to life. The film is slated for release in 2025, with Canadian and international distribution secured by Equinoxe Films.
