We’ve gotta admit this casting news is actually pretty good. Deadline is reporting that Johnny Depp has been set to star in The Invisible Man for Universal Pictures, part of the studio’s new production initiative to reestablish the classic movie monsters that represent its legacy.
That effort is being led by Alex Kurtzman and Chris Morgan, who’ll produce. Universal’s first foray into the character was a 1933 adaptation of the H.G. Wells novel that starred Claude Rains as a scientist who finds a way to become invisible. The price is his sanity. The film was directed by James Whale, who also helmed Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, and it was produced by Carl Laemmle, Jr.
No details yet as to who is writing the script or what the timing is on this picture. Stay tuned.
