David Goyer recently wrote and directed the $20 million flop The Invisible and can’t seem to get the idea of things you can’t see out of his head as Universal and Imagine Entertainment have set Goyer to write and direct The Invisible Man, a new take on the H.G. Wells classic.
The film is actually being conceived as a sequel to Wells’ story and will center on a British nephew of the original Invisible Man. Once he discovers his uncle’s formula for achieving invisibility, he is recruited by British intelligence agency MI5 during WWII.
On top of this Goyer is also attached to direct the Fox spin-off Magneto from Sheldon Turner’s script.
