Universal Studios has announced that Elizabeth Moss and Storm Reid-starrer The Invisible Man reboot will released on March 13, 2020.
The upcoming movie, a Universal-Blumhouse production, is based on the classic 1897 sci-fi novel by HG Wells. The novel has been adapted for both the big screen and television over the years.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Leigh Whannell wrote and is directing the film. He will co-produce alongside Blumhouse.
The project will start production in Sydney, Australia in July this year.
The most notable adaptation of Wells’ novel was the 1933 black-and-white film that is featuring Claude Rains in the title role.
Universal had earlier plans of a shared universe based around its classic monster characters and had roped in stars like Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Russell Crowe, Javier Bardem and Sofia Boutella for it.
But the project has been kept on hold after the failure of Cruise’s “The Mummy” in 2017.
Depp was all set to take on the title role, will not be featuring in the new project, which is being developed as a separate entry.
