The Invisible Man!

[David H.]

So Depp is out. Who do you think they'll cast? Hopefully they find someone who looks the part.

At last, the role Tom Hardy has been hiding his face for!

I only want Hardy to do it if the Invisible Man jumps into a lobster tank.

‘Invisible Man’ Finds Director, Sets New Course for Universal’s Monster Legacy (EXCLUSIVE)

Great news for Leigh Whannell and Blumhouse.

I wonder if they'll get Logan Marshall Green to play Invisible Man.

 

[redfirebird2008]

I'm biased, but I doubt this new movie will be in the same league as the original. Tough to fill the shoes of James Whale and Claude Rains.

 

[Deck Rickard]

This movie will need to truly be something special if it hopes to surpass the classic that is Kevin Bacon's Hollow Man.

Make it an Invisible Woman and cast Jessica Alba.

 

[terry78]

And make only her clothes invisible.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Can someone cast Jessica Alba as The Inaudible Woman so I never have to hear her speak?

Any movie where you can't see Kevin Bacon is a good movie.

The Conjuring franchise proves you can a horror shared universe so Blumhouse taking on the Universal Monsters could prove lucrative if done right.

I'd like for James Wan to direct one of these Monster movies. And I'd like for Robert Eggers, director of The Witch, to direct on of these as well.

 

[Doctor Jones]

The Blumhouse model is the ideal way to go with these characters. This and the other aspects what they should have done in the first place! I can get excited about this. At least they're learning.

I'd totally be down for a 20 million Wolfman movie.

Right. Insanely talented directors who can think of amazing stories on low budgets. Eggers, Moorhead/Benson, Flanagan, Kent etc. I have no idea what made them think that the best route was to spend hundreds of millions and turning it into an action cinematic universe.

 

[Consona]

Is this supposed to be a period piece or a modern day invisible man?

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Didn't we already see this?

Considering they’re probably going the lower budget Blumhouse route, I’d say modern. Period is too expensive.

Just wait for his Nosferatu.

 

[DarkKnight88]

More than a Blumhouse monsterverse, I’d love to see a Blumhouse H.G. Welles-verse. Start with The Invisible Man then adapt The Time Machine, The Island of Dr. Moreau and finish with War of the Worlds.

 

[Marvolo]

Considering they’re probably going the lower budget Blumhouse route, I’d say modern. Period is too expensive.

Not really. Woman in Black was Edwardian era England with a budget of $15 million.

 

[DarkKnight88]

I guess if the whole movie is set an old Victorian mansion, sure.

Woman in Black also had scenes in London, an English village, the moors, and a graveyard. Period pieces dont need to be expensive. In fact most period pieces cost less than $50 million. Only crazy fools like Gore Verbenski make period pieces that cost $200 million.

[Pink Ranger]

Period pieces are not expensive. About half the shows made for Canadian TV that most of you have never seen are period pieces, and have budgets smaller than the catering budgets of American shows.

As the Invisible Man/Woman or as the love interest?
