One of the most exciting horror projects on the horizon is that Leigh Whannell has written and will be directing a new The Invisible Man movie for Blumhouse and Universal, part of a new initiative from Universal in the wake of the failure of their Dark Universe. The lower-budget film is said to be character driven and scary, and casting is now underway.

Back in March, we heard that Elisabeth Moss (“The Handmaid’s Tale”, Jordan Peele’s Us) was in the early stages of negotiations to star in the film, and Deadline is reporting this morning that she’s now officially 100% on board. It has been *rumored* that Moss is playing the character who turns invisible, but at this time, nothing has been confirmed.

Johnny Depp, who had been previously attached to The Invisible Man when it was going to be rebooted for the Dark Universe, is reportedly not part of this project.
