Universal really wants to create a huge Universe with big stars in it. They ain't playing around.

One movie that's in the running for 2018 or 2019 is The Invisible Man. In February, Johnny Depp closed a deal to star in the reboot.

The studio has a writers room with elite scribes, overseen by Kurtzman and Morgan, who are tackling reboots of the entire line of Universal’s classic monsters; sources say Ed Solomon, best known for writing Men in Black and Now You See Me, is writing Invisible Man.

Is Johnny Depp playing the invisible man? In the 1933 original, the highlight of the movie was the lead actor's voice acting. Not sure if Johnny Depp could pull that kind of performance with just his voice...

Continuity-free, Blumhouse-produced low risk/high reward sounds like such a genius idea for this over what they were doing before. Sounds like Universal brought the very-maligned Dark Universe back to life in an incredibly smart way.

Now that Johnny Depp isn't attached to star this has a chance to succeed.

I actually had a conversation with someone who works at Blumhouse (she handles Blumhouse’s podcasts) a few months ago and told her that Blumhouse needed to do the Universal Monsters.

 

My prayers were heard.

Blumhouse doing the Universal Monsters is exactly what was needed.

finally they read what everyone on the internet said they should've done two years ago. very smart from them. trying to make them into marvel movies when blumhouse was right there making bank was always crazy dumb.

About two years ago I binged through all of the Universal monster movies, and The Invisible Man probably holds up best (though I preferred the first two Frankenstein movies). Found quite a few sequences genuinely scary.

 

Hail Whale tbh.

Over The Wolf Man? 🤔 But I'll admit I haven't seen The Invisible Man in ages.

Is that Blumhouse SPAWN movie gonna be part of this Dark Universe?

I think The Invisible Man suits the Blumhouse model and actually getting Leigh Whannell suggests Universal and Blumhouse want to copy The Conjuring model for the Universal Monsters.

This is like this generation's Last Supper. It's just timeless, and gets better every day.

That X-Men/Fantastic Four photo featuring Channing is also a masterpiece.

It's better when you realize this was photoshopped and not an actual picture taken.

Nice thing is you can do "The Invisible Man" without spending a lot of money.

I really hope they don't totally throw the H G Wells novel out the window.It's pretty damn good, you know

I preseume that Moss will play the role played by Gloria Stuart (of "Titanic" fame in the original.
