A silent killer.ĭirector Elizabeth Banks has pitched a version of The Invisible Woman with the logline “ Thelma and Louise meets American Psycho.” Banks would star in the project. I’m personally disappointed that the Invisible Man of the title has none of the humor to him of the 1940 version, but is pure evil and menace. It’s a darker take than the 1940 film and a more personal one. Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man is the first. Universal has now done away with the idea of a connected cinematic universe, but is still developing new movies for its monsters. Hyde (a role hinted at in The Mummy), and Angelina Jolie would have been the Bride of Frankenstein, in separate films. Johnny Depp would have played The Invisible Man, Russell Crowe would have played Dr. Unfortunately, due to The Mummy‘s box office failure, those plans were scrapped.
#INVISIBLE MAN CAST SERIES#
Starting with 2017’s The Mummy, Universal Studios had planned a whole new series of connected films using their collection of famous monsters.
#INVISIBLE MAN CAST MOVIE#
Despite negative reviews, the movie proved popular at the box office and received an Academy Award nomination for Special Effects.
The Hollow Man (2000): Kevin Bacon stars as a scientist who turns himself invisible in this horror film. However, I remember enjoying it when it first came out. The movie was a commercial and critical failure. A government agent discovers his condition and tries to track him down. A businessman is turned invisible through a freak accident at a major laboratory. Memoirs of an Invisible Man (1992): John Carpenter stepped outside of his horror wheelhouse to direct this Chevy Chase sci-fi comedy. Two major Hollywood films tackled the theme of invisibility but aren’t directly related to the H.G. The prime suspect gets his hands on the invisibility serum from a former colleague of Griffin’s. Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man (1951): Abbott and Costello play two private detectives investigating the murder of a boxing promoter. The Invisible Man’s Revenge (1944): Another descendant of Griffin’s uses invisibility to get revenge on a couple who left him to die. The Invisible Agent (1942): The grandson of the original Invisible Man serves as a spy for the USA during WWII. This film marks a change in tone in the series from horror/sci-fi to comedy. The Invisible Woman (1940): A former department store model becomes the first test subject for an invisibility device. Radcliffe must find the real killer before he goes insane from the drug. Griffin’s brother injects him with an invisibility drug and Radcliffe disappears from his cell. Vincent Price plays Sir Geoffrey Radcliffe, a man accused of a murder he didn’t commit. Despite the misleading title, this movie focuses on an entirely new cast of characters. The Invisible Man Returns (1940): I’m not sure why Universal waited seven years to make a sequel to such a popular film. Several years later, Universal made a series of sequels loosely related to the original film. Rains revels in the mischief of being invisible. I also remember the movie having a certain humor, sarcasm, and playfulness to it. The film is more sympathetic to Griffin than the novel is.
Again, he goes on a killing spree, plotting world domination. Several factors including failed results and side effects from the chemicals cause Griffin to go insane. As in the book, he seeks to complete his work in solitude. In the movie, Jack Griffin hopes his scientific work will make him rich and thus a more suitable husband for his fiancee. The movie, part of Universal’s classic series of monster movies, came out two years after Dracula and Frankenstein. If you’re a Rocky Horror fan, you already know Claude Rains was The Invisible Man.
