Jamie Lee Curtis: From Freakier Friday’s Red Carpet to the Detective’s Chair

Jamie Lee Curtis confirmed that her “Murder, She Wrote” reboot movie is in the works on the carpet for “Freakier Friday.”

“Oh it’s,” Curtis began, taking a big dramatic pause while speaking with Entertainment Tonight. “Happening.”

“We’re a minute away. But very excited. Very excited,” Curtis continued. “But I’m tamping down my enthusiasm until we start shooting. I have a couple other things to hustle and then I’ll get to enjoy that work.”

In December 2024, Variety reported that Curtis was being eyed to lead Universal’s “Murder, She Wrote” film adaptation. The “Freakier Friday” star will take on the role of Jessica Fletcher, the crime writer turned detective that was played by Angela Lansbury in the original series.

Per reporting, the script is from Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo. Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Amy Pascal are producers.

The reboot of Murder, She Wrote is moving forward. Previously, it had been reported that Jamie Lee Curtis was being eyed to star in a feature film adaptation of the hit TV series for Universal. A new update has now been revealed with Curtis, who won an Oscar for her role in Everything Everywhere All at Once, confirming her involvement.

“Oh, it’s… happening," Curtis said when asked about the project, via Entertainment Tonight. "We’re a minute away, but yeah, very excited. Very excited. But I’m tamping down my enthusiasm until we start shooting. I mean, I have a couple of other things to hustle, and then I’ll get to enjoy that work.”

Reports of Curtis' casting...

After Deadline reported a Murder, She Wrote reboot in the works at Universal, Jamie Lee Curtis has officially confirmed she’s on the case.

The Oscar winner revealed she “a minute away” from taking over the late Angela Lansbury’s beloved middle-aged mystery writer and amateur sleuth role, Jessica Fletcher, in a feature adaptation of the CBS series that ran for 12 seasons from 1984 to ’96.

“Oh, it’s… happening,” Curtis playfully confirmed to Entertainment Tonight. “We’re a minute away, but yeah, [I’m] very excited. Very excited. But I’m tamping down my enthusiasm until we start shooting. I have a couple of other things to hustle, but then I’ll get to enjoy that work.”

In December, Deadline’s The Dish exclusively reported that Curtis was in talks to star in a Murder, She Wrote film penned by Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, with producers Lord Miller and Amy Pascal.

Lionsgate has released the final trailer for its hotly anticipated John Wick spinoff movie Ballerina. Ana de Armas headlines the upcoming spinoff, which takes place concurrently with 2019's John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.

"When you think of me, you should think of fire," warns de Armas' Eve Macarro at the beginning of the trailer, which sees the young assassin staring at Keanu Reeves' John Wick, who is staring back at her through the scope of his gun. Past marketing for Ballerina has teased the fight sequence between Eve and John that promises to delight longtime fans of the action franchise. However, while the Wick vs. Eve fight is featured yet again, the final trailer is framed around the idea of "fire," with the title assassin shown wielding a flamethrower in one clip and fighting in a burning building in another. Check out the final Ballerina trailer below.

By the time Ballerina hits theaters,...

Director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man shakes up the werewolf mythos with a new take on the Universal Classic Monster, and it’s heading to Peacock this month.

From Blumhouse and Universal Pictures, Wolf Man begins streaming exclusively on Peacock beginning April 18.

Christopher Abbott (Poor Things) stars as Blake, a husband and father who inherits his remote childhood home in rural Oregon after his own father vanishes. With his marriage to wife Charlotte (Julia Garner) fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Matlida Firth). 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.

Of course, there’s also the matter of Blake, who begins a harrowing transformation. Whannell’s reimagining of...

In the build-up to Wolf Man's release, the design of the titular monster was seemingly unveiled when photos of a guy in a mask at Universal's theme park attraction found their way online.

Though this did turn out to be the basis for the werewolf that attacks our protagonists in Leigh Whannell's movie, the overall look came across a lot better on screen, and Blake (Christopher Abbott) ultimately transforms into a different beast altogether.

Even so, the "Hills Fever" wolfman's final design still proved to be highly divisive, and a lot of fans simply couldn't get on board with a near-hairless creature that looked far more man than wolf.

We've already seen some alternate creature designs from concept artist Constantine Sekeris, who has now taken to Instagram to share another early sketch. This take on the monster actually looks a little like the Wolfman from Monster Squad!

The reboot of the classic Universal Monsters property The Wolf Man from Blumhouse Productions and The Invisible Man (2020) director Leigh Whannell reached theatres last month – and JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray wasn’t very impressed with it, giving it a 6/10 review that you can read Here and describing it as “well-acted, but not very scary.” Clearly, he wasn’t the only one who was unimpressed. While The Invisible Man made over $139 million at the global box office, Wolf Man has been crawling toward the $30 million mark. Now, it has been revealed that Wolf Man is set to receive a digital release tomorrow, February 4th, with a physical media release to follow on March 18th.

One of the biggest talking points among horror fans in the build-up to Wolf Man's release was the design of the titular monster, which was seemingly unveiled when photos of a guy in a mask at Universal's theme park attraction found their way online.

The werewolf that attacks our protagonists in Leigh Whannell's movie actually ended up looking a lot better, and Blake (Christopher Abbott) ultimately transforms into a different beast altogether.

Even so, the "Hills Fever" wolfman's final design still proved to be highly divisive, and a lot of fans simply couldn't get on board with a near-hairless creature that looked far more man than wolf.

Below, you'll find a number of alternate creature designs from concept artist Constantine Sekeris, and it seems there may have been early plans in place to have Blake change into a slightly more lupine-looking werewolf.

"Wanted to share some very...

Horror fans were very excited when it was announced that Leigh Whannell had stepped in to replace the departing Derek Cianfrance as director on Universal/Blumhouse's Wolf Man reboot, since the filmmaker had previously delivered his own take on another classic Universal Monster which proved to be a big critical and commercial hit.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Whannell is going to be able to repeat The Invisible Man's success.

Wolf Man arrived in theaters on Friday amid mostly negative reviews (it currently sits at 54% on Rotten Tomatoes), and the movie has now come in well below its already modest opening weekend box office estimates.

The downbeat werewolf flick was on track for a $17M-$21M bow, but only managed to take in $10.6M over three days (analysts believe it'll hit $12M by Monday).

It's worth noting that Wolf Man did have a relatively low production budget of $25 million,...

Leigh Whannell's Wolf Man is now in theaters, and the Universal Monster reboot may be facing an uphill struggle after failing to take a big enough bite out of the box office over the weekend.

We're still waiting on international numbers, but the movie only managed to take in $4.45M on Friday (including Thursday previews) in North America, and is now on track for a $17M-$21M debut. This wouldn't exactly be a disaster for a film with a reported $25 million budget, but audiences really don't seem to be too fussed about this one.

Wolf Man has earned a C- CinemaScore, which is disappointing even for an R-rated horror movie. It's also dropped down to a "rotten" 54% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Again, overseas takings may be a lot better (and that relatively low budget has to be taken into consideration), but as things stand, Disney's Mufasa: The Lion King looks set to claim the No.

Wolf Man is now playing in theaters in most major markets worldwide, and we're delving into the horror reboot's intense final act while touching on how this latest take on the classic Universal Monster differs from other versions of the terrifying tale.

Spoilers follow.

The movie begins with an overprotective (borderline abusive) father taking his young son hunting in the dense Oregon woods. After an encounter with an unseen creature, the man becomes obsessed with tracking the monster down.

We then jump forward 30 years, as Blake Lovell (Christopher Abbott) receives a letter informing him that his estranged father has legally been declared dead after going missing in the woods years earlier. Blake convinces his wife Charlotte (Julia Garner) and daughter Ginger (Matilda Firth) to accompany him to his dad's secluded house to pack up his belongings.

After swerving to avoid a shadowy figure standing in the middle of the road,...

Let us know by leaving a comment below.

In the modern reboot of Universal’s Classic Monster, Abbott will be playing the role of Blake, a San Francisco husband and father, who inherits his remote childhood home in rural Oregon.

In the featurette, director Leigh Whannell and the creative team discussed the intricate process of creating the look of the Wolf Man, which would set it apart from past adaptations. It also shows behind-the-scenes footage of the special effects prosthetic, and how the team would put it on Abbott.

The video also features Emmy winner Julia Garner, who plays the role of Blake’s wife Charlotte,...

They relocate to Blake’s childhood home after inheriting the property, left vacant following his father’s mysterious disappearance.

The suspense begins when, on a moonlit night, the family is attacked by a werewolf. Although they manage to barricade themselves inside, Blake is clawed during the encounter, setting off his horrifying transformation.

Blumhouse and Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell's Wolf Man is set to hit theaters later this month, and tickets for the horror reboot are now officially on sale.

To accompany the announcement, we have some new posters, a TV spot and featurette giving us our best look yet at the other werewolf that Christopher Abbott's Blake will change into.

The new spot includes a (very) quick glimpse of the beast, but the featurette spotlights the full creature design via some concept maquettes. The video also features Whannell and the cast discussing this latest take on the classic Universal Monster.

It's entirely possible that what we've seen of the Wolf Man so far will not be the final form, as Blake could transform into a more lupine-looking creature towards the end of the movie.

Variety reports that Jamie Lee Curtis is in “early talks” to take on the iconic role of Jessica Fletcher, who was masterfully played by Angela for 12 seasons, beginning in 1984.

The character is a crime writer who becomes an amateur detective, and it was a huge hit when it was on the air.

While plot details for the film are currently unknown, it has been discovered that Dumb Money‘s Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo are writing the script.

You can stream past seasons of Murder, She Wrote on Peacock now.

Angela Lansbury passed away in 2022 at the age of 96.

Jamie Lee Curtis is wanted to lead the cast of a 'Murder, She Wrote' movie. The 66-year-old actress is being eyed to portray Jessica Fletcher in the Universal film, according to Deadline. Dame Angela Lansbury famously played the mystery writer and amateur sleuth in the 12-series crime drama TV show. Lord Miller and Amy Pascal are to produce the motion picture from a script penned by Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo. In September 2023, it was revealed a 'Murder, She Wrote' movie was adapted for the big screen before the Hollywood strikes.Schuker Blum told Collider at the time: "We'll tell you one thing that hasn't been reported yet, which is we have written a theatrical feature film version of 'Murder, She Wrote' for Universal, and we're really excited."Angelo added: "It’s with Pascal Pictures in Pascal and Universal, and we're very excited...

Jamie Lee Curtis is looking likely to take over from the late Angela Lansbury in a new take on Murder, She Wrote. More here.

We’ve known for over a year now that a film version of the beloved 1980s TV series, Murder, She Wrote is heading our way courtesy of the writing team behind 2023’s Dumb Money.

The writers of the film, Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, revealed in September of that year that they were teaming with producer Amy Pascal to work on an adaptation of Murder, She Wrote, the classic 1980s US murder mystery show that made the late Angela Lansbury into a beloved star.

Of course, that announcement came at the very tail-end of the Hollywood writers’ strikes so just how quickly things got up and running, we can only guess, but accoring to Deadline, things are definitely moving. What’s more with none other...

Jessica Fletcher may soon be back on the case, as a reboot of Murder, She Wrote is reportedly in the works. It's also been revealed that the role, famously played by Angela Lansbury in the original TV show, might be taken on by an acclaimed Oscar winner.

Per Deadline, Halloween and Freaky Friday star Jamie Lee Curtis is being eyed for the lead in a Murder, She Wrote movie that's now in the works at Universal Pictures. As of now, Curtis has not officially signed on, but she is reportedly "likely" to accept the role.

Jamie Lee Curtis reveals why it took over...

Jamie Lee Curtis better bust out the doilies and contempo casual trench coats — it seems she’s headed to “Murder, She Wrote.”

Variety has confirmed that Oscar winner Curtis is in early talks to play the iconic Jessica Fletcher, a crime writer turned crack detective, who was at the center of the long-running original TV series that starred Angela Lansbury.

Universal Pictures is putting together an untitled feature film project together around Fletcher, via producers Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Amy Pascal (all have overall deals on the Donna Langley-run studio lot).

Early concepts around the character and any premise are currently unknown. The script is from Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo.

Representatives for Curtis and Universal had no immediate comment on the matter.

Universal Television produced “Murder, She Wrote” which ran for 12 seasons starting in 1984. Lansbury became a household name thanks to her portrayal of an unusual gumshoe,...

Universal is looking to Jamie Lee Curtis to pick up where Angela Lansbury left off for the studio’s Murder, She Wrote movie. There’s no deal yet, but Curtis is the studio’s top choice to play Jessica Fletcher in a film based on the 12-season CBS series.

The script is by Dumb Money scribes Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, and Lord Miller and Amy Pascal are producing it. Plans to scope out a Murder, She Wrote film come at a time when whodunit stories are making a killer comeback. Rian Johnson’s Knives Out Mysteries series is a smash hit with audiences. At the same time, other titles like Netflix’s Enola Holmes, starring Millie Bobby Brown as the younger sister of Sherlock Holmes (Henry Cavill), and Kenneth Branagh’s revival of Hercule Poirot are great additions to the genre’s offerings.

Angela Lansbury played Jessica Fletcher in Murder,...

In what is possibly the best news you’ll hear all day, it’s rumored that Jamie Lee Curtis is set to play the lead role in a new Murder, She Wrote film courtesy of Universal Pictures. Curtis will take over for the late Angela Lansbury, who portrayed the character of Jessica Fletcher in the original series that ran on CBS from 1984 to 1996, and in four made-for-tv movies.

Per Deadline, Curtis is the front-runner right now to portray Fletcher in the Murder, She Wrote movie, which is being written by Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, the same duo that penned the 2023 critically acclaimed film Dumb Money. Plot details remain thin at this point, but in the series, Lansbury’s character of Fletcher was a retired teacher-turned mystery writer who regularly inserted herself into Cabot Cove police investigations to help solve various murder cases, so we expect the movie to...

Exclusive: Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis is the top choice to star in the Murder, She Wrote movie coming together at Universal, Dish hears. No deal yet, but we here she’s looming likely to play the Jessica Fletcher role popularized by Angela Lansbury in the hit series that ran 12 seasons on CBS series.

Script is by Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, the duo behind the Craig Gillespie-directed drama Dumb Money, about the GameStop short squeeze of 2021. Murder, She Wrote is being produced by Lord Miller and Amy Pascal.

Now, it’s early, but this makes a great deal of sense.

Just as hot is the career second wind of Curtis, who has come so much further than...

There’s a reboot of the classic Universal Monsters property The Wolf Man coming our way from Blumhouse Productions and The Invisible Man (2020) director Leigh Whannell, aiming for a January 17, 2025 theatrical release – and while speaking to Empire, Whannell revealed that he drew inspiration from David Cronenberg’s remake of The Fly when he was crafting his take on this classic werewolf story.

Whannell said, “What The Fly did that a lot of other practical-effects-driven horror movies from that time did not do was bring the tragedy out of these practical effects. It wasn’t a joke in The Fly. It was there to illustrate someone who was dying of an illness. I was like, ‘I’ve got to do that.’ It’s not about being funny or icky or gory. This is about the tragedy of the human body falling apart.“

Universal and Blumhouse's Wolf Man reboot found inspiration in one of the best body horror movies of all time. Director Leigh Whannell recently shared that The Fly starring Jeff Goldblum was a major source of inspiration for the upcoming horror movie.

Our first look at what was assumed to be the titular Wolf Man via an actor in a costume at Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights was met with a lot of backlash, but the first teaser did suggest that this will be the creature responsible for the initial attack, leaving Christopher Abbott's Blake to change into a different beast altogether.

The recent full trailer confirmed that the movie will indeed feature another werewolf, and we catch a new glimpse of the monster (he appears to be more bald than we were expecting!) charging through the trees on all fours in this latest teaser.

From Universal and Blumhouse, Wolf Man howls into theaters January 17, 2025.

Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott (Poor Things) 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 (Julia Garner; 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).

But as the family...

Back in 2020, director Leigh Whannell brought the world a well-received modern update of the classic Universal property The Invisible Man. On January 17, 2025, Universal will be releasing Whannell’s take on another classic Universal property, Wolf Man. There aren’t any plans in place for Whannell to continue making new versions of the Universal Monsters – but, if he were to given his pick of which character(s) to resurrect next, he has said that he would go with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Robert Louis Stevenson created the characters of Jekyll and Hyde in his 1886 novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which depicts the gripping struggle of two opposing personalities — one essentially good, the other evil — for the soul of one man. The story has received many cinematic adaptations over the years, with one being a 26 minute short film that was released in 1913 and came from companies that...

This new look confirms that the movie will indeed feature another werewolf, and we catch a brief glimpse of the lycanthrope right at the end. From what we can make out, this creature design is... quite similar to the guy in the suit!

Wolf Man has a new official trailer via New York Comic Con. The upcoming Wolf Man is the latest reboot of a classic Universal monster from Blumhouse and Leigh Whannell, the studio and director behind 2020's critical and commercial hit The Invisible Man. The new movie follows a man named Blake (Christopher Abbott) who inherits his father's Oregon farmhouse after his disappearance. When he visits with his wife Charlotte (Julia Garner) and daughter Ginger (Matlida Firth), he is attacked by an animal and his family is trapped overnight between dangers outside and inside as he begins a monstrous transformation.

Universal Pictures has now released the official trailer for Wolf Man at New York Comic Con. The trailer opens on a harrowing scene of Blake and his family in a moving truck that is lying sideways on the road after an accident, where he is attacked while stuck in the drivers seat.

Having already delivered a certified banger with The Invisible Man, director Leigh Whannell turns his attention to another classic Universal Monster with his upcoming Wolf Man reboot, and the movie has now received an official rating from the MPA.

Whannell has previously assured fans that this latest take on the furry fiend would mark a return to "real horror," and the movie's rating backs up his promise.

Despite some concern that the movie might be brought in with a PG-13, Wolf Man has been rated “R” for “Bloody violent content, grisly images and some language.”
