Going Gone

Chit-chating with MTV writer David Goyer confirmed that he's writing a new version of 'The Invisible Man" and that could either be his next project or depending on several factors-it may be the 'X-Men Origins: Magneto' movie.

Of The Invisible Man he says that the film will be a 'continuation' rather than a remake of the classic 1933 film with the main character being "a nephew of the first character".

Some of the characters from the H. G. Wells' novel will be included in the film.

Goyer claims it's going to be pushing the envelope- "It's very steam punk...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."

The plot "involves Scotland Yard getting their hands on the current Invisible Man and basically saying, Wow, you'd be a really good secret agent to send into Imperial Russia right now."

Goyer can do no wrong (The Invisible notwithstanding) as far as I'm concerned, since helping to conceive Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.
