Whannell successfully reinvigorated The Invisible Man and even managed to surpass its box office expectations (the film raked in $144m on a mere $7m budget!). Now, he ventures into another iconic Universal monster – the werewolf – as depicted in ‘Wolf Man’. We had a chance to converse with Whannell about his interpretation of this legendary beast.
