David Goyer’s ‘The Invisible Man’ Will Be Very Steam Punk
space
The Movie God   |  @   |  

Invisible ManAfter contributing to the biggest movie of the summer with The Dark Knight, writer/director David Goyer has a couple projects lined up that he’s working on, but he’s still trying to figure out which will be next.

He’s writing and directing the spin-off, X-Men Origins: Magneto, but he’s also working on The Invisible Man for Universal.

Because he gets to direct Magneto, you would think Goyer would be most excited to get at that, but with Ian McKellen guaranteed to be pretty busy soon with two new Lord of the Rings movies in motion, who knows what might happen there. With The Invisible Man, Goyer’s working with one of the artists from Batman Begins and The Dark Knight as he writes the script and he seems to be very excited about the project.

Goyer described the film, which he said he’d like to do next, to MTV.

Well, “˜The Invisible Man,’ the Universal film, is a great movie, a Claude Rains film. My take is kind of an extrapolation. It actually deals with a nephew of the first character. It’s got some of the characters from the H.G. Wells book, but it’s kind of a continuation.

Goyer went on to explain his take on the classic Universal horror film, which he said crosses a lot of genres and that “it’s very steam punk.”

It involves Scotland Yard getting their hands on the current Invisible Man and basically saying, “˜Wow, you’d be a really good secret agent to send into Imperial Russia right now.’ It starts off from there. I don’t want to give too much away, but I took what being invisible could mean to the next logical extreme. We do a lot of crazy things in it that are sort of far beyond what anyone’s done with it yet.

I like the sounds of this Invisible Man project and look forward to seeing it, but both have their attraction, so we’ll see how it plays out.

Goyer also wrote The Flash script, which will probably be moving forward soon, and he wrote and directed a new horror called The Unborn, which stars Gary Oldman, Odette Yustman, and our friend David Chen of /Film’s favorite actor of all time, Cam Gigandet.

  1. Didn’t Goyer already try an “Invisible” themed movie called “The Invisible” and it was a total piece of crap?

    I have no hope for this new movie. This is like pissing on HG Wells’ grave. Which is pretty much par for the course for Hollywood.
