The re-imagining finds Moss haunted by the presence of her perceived-to-be dead abusive ex-boyfriend who has gone invisible, which certainly adds a timely new take on the material.
As you are probably aware, Universal’s mangled attempt to start the Dark Universe, based on the studio’s treasure trove of classic horror characters, started and ended in spectacular fashion with 2017’s big-budget flop, The Mummy.
From writer/director Leigh Whannell, who knocked it out of the park with his previous film, the sci-fi body horror-thriller, Upgrade, this is certainly one that we’re eager to see when it makes its way into theaters on February 28th.
Wisely, the studio has shifted gears and changed their focus, in an effort to keep the idea alive in cost-saving fashion, by giving these properties to the economic folks over at Blumhouse, starting with The Invisible Man, starring Elisabeth Moss.
