Leigh Whannell, co-creator of the saga “Saw” with James Wan and writer of “Insidious”, takes the commands of the new version of “The invisible man” for Universal, which is talk now of creating a Dark Universe connected. Universal Pictures In January 2018, we learned that the longtime project of building a new version of The invisible man loses his screenwriter, Ed Solomon. At this time, Universal fed still hopes to create his own Dark Universe connected between the Universal Monsters, even if the new version of The Mummy, headed by Tom Cruise, had not given the expected results at the Box Office. A year later, Variety announces the arrival of the commands of Leigh Whannell for this new adaptation of The invisible man. The other news is that Johnny Depp, a long time attached to the project, going to the door, while he is no longer a question for Universal of seeking at all costs to make a universe extended and / or connected between the franchises. “Throughout History, the monsters of the Universal are being re-invented through the lens of each filmmaker […]. We are very excited at the idea of privileging a more individualized approach for their return on the big screen, by the creators who have stories to be passionate to tell,” said Peter Cramer, the head of production at Universal. The Remakes to come will be so “rooted in the genre of horror, without restriction of budget, tone, and classification”. A white card perfect and ideal for the one who is, remember, the co-creator of the saga of the Saw, alongside James Wan and screenwriter of Insidious.
