Months after Universal successfully relaunched its monster universe with Elisabeth Moss’s “The Invisible Man,” the studio is pushing ahead for “Wolfman” — which is being developed as a starring vehicle for Ryan Gosling — to be the next movie based on its catalog of iconic creatures.

Sources tell Variety that executives at Universal have been meeting with directors over the past month and could be making a decision soon on who will take the reins behind the camera. While there is no frontrunner at the time, Cory Finley, who recently received rave reviews for directing HBO’s drama “Bad Education with Hugh Jackman and Allison Janney, is said to be in the mix for the job.

Universal and CAA had no comment.

It’s unknown what the new take on “Wolfman” will look like, though it is believed to be set in present times and in the vein of Jake Gyllenhaal’s thriller “Nightcrawler,” with an obvious supernatural twist.

Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, who wrote for Netflix’s “Orange is the New Black,” penned the script, which is based on an original pitch by Gosling.

I'll get interested when I see who's directing.

IN for Gosling

This sounds like an awful choice

That's good people thought invisible man remake on paper was a bad idea and Peele doing a horror film would flop.

We need more risky horror films with big names taking it somewhere.Nice to see the era of Annabelle dying out.

I liked The Invisible Man. It was good but Ryan Gosling as Wolfman sounds horrible to me.

Give king a chance no one could see him do half the roles he's done when The Notebook dropped

This being in the vein of Nightcrawler is actually really interesting

This is either gonna be really fire or straight bootychatter. I'm in either way.

So Gosling pitched the general concept of this?

Definitely has me interested. I’m sure he had a director in mind as well. Imagine Refn on this.

sheeeeeeeeeeeesssshhhh. f***in imagine.

I mean, not a lot of people saw it but Lost River was at least interesting. if that's the vibe...

Could see Gosling helming it himself

Can’t wait for Gosling to bring his signature stoic mannerisms while transforming into a werewolf

I was thinking that originally but I figured they would’ve announced along with the rest of the news .
