debuts in US theaters tomorrow, January 17, and will serve as a reboot of the iconic 1941 Universal Monsters movie The Wolf Man.
The new film features Christopher Abbott as Blake Lovell, the man who transforms into the titular monster following an encounter with a mysterious creature.
In a new interview, Abbott spoke about the extensive prosthetics he had to put on for the role and the impact it had on the movie and his performance.
Christopher Abbott looked back on the 7-hour prosthetics transformation process he had to undergo for Wolf Man and stated in a new interview that “real prosthetics” made the movie “better.” He told The Hollywood Reporter, “It looks beautiful, and I’m grateful that we did real prosthetics.
The film is all the better for it.” However, Abbott admitted that the process was also “tedious and arduous,” adding, “Just wearing the prosthetics for hours is more tiring than you think.
