Remember Universal's grand plans for a Dark Universe?
Ah. Good times. Good times indeed.
Well, they were pretty far in their production when they scrapped it all, so we still have the 3rd.. or 2nd film is it? (Do we count Dracula Untold? Part of me would say yes, since they reshot and added that whole modern-day epilogue..) Anyways one last non-Dark Universe Dark Universe Universal Monsters reboot arriving on the big screen soon.
It's a tale as old as time, in fact it's The Invisible Man! Here's the twist this time, it's gonna be more grounded. More scienc-y. Modern-day. With an horror take on The Invisible Man, science gone wrong, Invisible guy turns bad, creepy, stalkery and murdery....
...so Hollow Man?
Anyways, here is the trailer:
Looks about what you'd expect from a modern generic Inivisble Man remake.
To cut down losses after the flob of The Mummy Universal had Blumhouse Productions produce this film and do any rewrites/edits as they wanted to cut down costs.
I feel like this whole Dark Universe Universal Monsters reboot super-franchise concept would have had more chance to be decent by being allowed to actually being horror films AND setting them in their original time period of the 1930s-40s instead...
