Where Was Wolf Man Filmed?
The horror movie Wolf Man was filmed in the beautiful area of Wellington, New Zealand. While the movie takes place in rural Oregon, it was actually shot in New Zealand. Here’s a look at all the filming locations:
Wellington, New Zealand
Wellington was the perfect place for the movie’s scenes set in a remote farmhouse and a foggy forest. This location—which is known for its natural beauty, added to the creepy and suspenseful mood of the movie. “Waitangi’s haunting beauty gave the movie a real and otherworldly feel,” producer Jason Blum wrote on social media.
Farmhouse Scenes in Wellington
Blake’s (Christopher Abbott) haunted family farmhouse, which is an important part of the story, was built again in Wellington. The isolated and rustic farmhouse setting adds to the creepy mood of the movie and becomes a symbol of Blake’s scary journey. It’s perfect how the atmosphere of the place matches the growing horror that happens as Blake changes.
Forest Surroundings
Wellington’s dense forests were transformed into the dark Oregon woods, where Blake’s horrifying transformation begins. The foggy, shadowed trees create an ominous feeling, contributing to the atmosphere of dread as Blake starts to experience the changes that will make him a danger to his family. The forest scenes in particular heighten the tension and mystery surrounding Blake’s terrifying metamorphosis.
Urban Shots Inspired by San Francisco
The movie was partly based in San Francisco, and some of the city scenes were filmed on specially built sets in Wellington. These sets mix real and made-up elements to create an urban background that stands out against the scenes set in a farmhouse and a forest. The different kinds of locations in Wellington that make up the movie’s setting add to its complexity, making it feel more like both a lonely place and a busy city, which is what the story needs.
Studio Setups
Some scenes, like Blake’s intense scenes of change, were shot on studio sets. The movie’s director Leigh Whannell said, “We used cutting-edge lighting and sound effects in the studio to bring Blake’s transformation to life, adding layers of horror to the experience.”
When Did the Filming of Wolf Man Take Place?
The movie Wolf Man began filming in early 2024. The production team worked hard over the next few months to get the amazing shots and exciting scenes that make the movie so exciting. Leigh Whannell’s commitment to combining real outdoor locations with special effects in the studio helped create a smooth and immersive movie experience.
