Wolf Man

Wolf Man - Ground Control’s Production Journey with Universal and Blumhouse

Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions presents Leigh Whannell’s WOLF MAN. Released on 17 January 2025, this was a long time in the making with Ground Control starting early development feasibility in October 2020 for the project to be considered to be based in New Zealand. After an extended delay due to Covid, then WGA and SAG strikes before it got finally green light in November 2023 and we commenced pre-production in January 2024 at Lane Street Studios, Upper Hutt (Wellington), New Zealand. We also shot in the Paradise Forest, Kinloch and Rees Valley in Glenorchy, as well as Featherstone Street, Wellington City and Mangaroa Farm in Upper Hutt. Well done to the incredibly talented crew who work created amazing lighting rigs, set design, makeup prosthetics design, costume design, stunt choreography, special fx crash rigs, and sourcing some of the most perfect locations, set decoration, props and picture vehicles to bring the Director’s vision to life. Everyone worked so hard to deliver excellence everyday and we are very proud of and humbled by the quality work from our world-class talent we had with us on WOLF MAN. 

Thank you to all the crew, cast, producers, Blumhouse, Universal and Leigh Whannell.
