Universal first took a plunge into the character when they adapted H.G.Wells novel in 1993. The plot of the novel was a scientist who figures out a way to make himself invisible without realizing that he will go crazy as a result of the creation. British actor Claude Rains made his US debut with this movie by playing the character of Jack Griffin. The actor’s face was mostly covered in bandages throughout the film. The film was directed by James Whale, the immortal who also directed ionic films like ‘Frankenstein’ and ‘Bride of Frankenstein’.

The reboot of the new ‘The Invisible Man’ still does not yet have a writer, director, or timetable for production. Only the lead actor has been signed for the part. Johnny Depp is no new to hiding beneath risk taking, make-up and prosthetic filled characters. It will be interesting to see what Depp brings to the character and how the visual effects of the film is going to be.

Universal has signed two global stars-Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise– for their upcoming projects. Tom Cruise is all set to star in ‘The Mummy’ reboot which will be released on June 9, 2017.
