Leigh Whannell has revealed 'Wolf Man' was inspired by his “deeply personal” experience of a loved one battling disease during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 48-year-old filmmaker helmed the reboot of Universal Monsters franchise about an isolated mother and daughter who are forced to live out their worst nightmare after the father begins to transform into something unrecognisable, and Whannell has now shared the movie’s premise came to him after his close friend began to suffer with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) - a disease that affects the brain and spinal cord - during the lockdowns caused by the global health crisis.
