Leigh Whannell, who directed last year’s Upgrade, has signed on to helm an Invisible Man reboot for Universal. This project will see Whannell, reuniting with Jason Blum, who is producing The Invisible Man through his Blumhouse Productions company. Johnny Depp, who was previously signed on to star in The Invisible Man, will not appear in this latest version of the movie, although Variety’s sources say he could still appear in one of the other monster movies Universal has in development. This news also doesn’t necessarily mean that The Invisible Man will be the next Universal Monsters movie to go into production, as other pitches are reportedly circulating for different characters.
