H.G. Wells Invisible Man

The roaring debut of X-Men Origins: Wolverine has been the launchpad for several other spin-offs getting the green light.
We've heard about a second Wolverine film, a Deadpool movie and a Gambit spin-off. And it now seems there is new movement on X-Men Origins: Magneto, a project that would explore the backstory of the magnetically-powered archvillain played in the X-Men trilogy by Ian McKellen.
Sources are now saying that James McTeigue is in negotiations to direct the movie, instead of David S. Goyer. And Internet Movie Database confirms this, with its listing for McTeigue saying he is in talks to take on Magneto.
As I mentioned yesterday, McTeigue is apparently also being sought to take on the Conan remake after Brett Ratner left the director's chair so it will be interesting to see which project he opts for, or whether he is able to do both. At one point, Children

A couple of years back, David Goyer stated that he would write and direct the sequel to the 1933 film The Invisible Man, originally based upon a story by H.G. Wells. Meanwhile, Goyer now tells ShockTillYouDrop that things are definitely moving forward.

"I've since finished a draft and I'm in the midst of revisions for it right now," he revealed to the site. "Universal seems pretty high on it. So, they're just breathing down my neck to get the revisions done. It's a movie they'd like to make."
The new story centers on a British nephew of the original "Invisible Man". Once he discovers his uncle's formula for achieving invisibility, he is recruited by British intelligence agency MI5 during WWII.
Meanwhile Universal has begun raiding the vaults for most of its classic "monster" fare. The studio is releasing The Wolfman on November 6 with the fate of its other siblings depending upon Wolfman's success.

The last time we heard from writer/director David S. Goyer about his upcoming project The Invisible Man was late last year, as he was starting to tour around for The Unborn. Since that hit in January, to rather dismal reviews, Goyer has remained somewhat out of the public spotlight. ShockTillYouDrop finally caught up with Goyer today in the offices for his upcoming TV show Flash Forward and got a small, bit positive update, on The Invisible Man. Yep, this is that remake, or rather re-adaptation, of H.G. Wells' classic story about, well, an invisible man. "I've since finished a draft and I'm in the midst of revisions." "Universal seems pretty high on it. So, they're just breathing down my neck to get the revisions done. It's a movie they'd like to make," Goyer says. That's definitely good news, but as Styd also reports, Universal probably won't give The Invisible Man
