David Goyer writes..

David Goyer seems to have his handful after penning the most successful movie of the year Dark Knight. Next up is the horror film The Unborn that will be his directorial turn. Then he is set to get his hands dirty to write about to great villains Magneto and The Invisible Man. So with all the news going around about this writer. One thing is certain he surely going to steam up the Invisible man. He is planning to bring us another adaptation of H.G.Well’s classic The Invisible Man that will be taking of from the James Whale’s 1933 film. “My take is kind of an extrapolation. It actually deals with a nephew of the first character. It’s got some of the characters from the H.G. Wells book, but it’s kind of a continuation.”

Goyer first told MTV that “I’m in the process of doing [Invisible Man] right now, and I’m working with some conceptual artists in tandem with writing the script.” Who did he decide to bring on? None other than Jamie Rama. “Rama is a great conceptual artist who worked on Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, he’s one of the primary conceptual artists who worked on the Bat suits.” So it is still not sure whether he will take up Magneto or The Invisible Man. He is currently totally engaged till the end of November on the post production work on The Unborn.

So the idea of the Invisible Man this time around picks up months after the events in Well’s novel and will include prominent historical figurs like Willian Melville, head of Scotland Yard and founder of M16. Goyer told STYD that Melville “instituted fingerprinting and was friends with Harry Houdini. He’s where the ‘M’ comes from in MI6. In my story, he’s the one who captures the Invisible Man in my story and says, ‘Listen, we want to turn you into a secret agent and send you into Imperial Russia.’” Goyer alsto told MTV that “It kind of crosses a lot of genres. It’s very steam punk.”

Goyer also added “I don’t want to give too much away, but I took what being invisible could mean to the next logical extreme. We do a lot of crazy things in it that are sort of far beyond what anyone’s done with it yet.” So with this we should get little excited on what he is about to do with the Invisible man movie.
