Some people may be confused when reading this 
morning's Variety headline "Goyer eyes U's new 'Invisible' film?"
'Didn't David Goyer just direct a movie called Invisible?' you might ask. Of course, that would be assuming that you are amongst the few people that saw The Invisible, which released in late April to a disappointing worldwide gross of only $23 million to date, according to Box Office Mojo.
No, this Invisible is a new take on Universal's beloved 1933 monster movie classic, The Invisible Man, which starred Claude Rains as the titular character and was directed by the legendary James Whale. It was based on the novel by H.G. Wells.
This has all been a long-winded way of saying that David Goyer has been officially announced as writer/director on the new project, which is being conceived as a sequel to the original novel.
According to Variety, "the 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."
The project may be a ways off, however, since Goyer is currently prepping the X-Men spinoff, Magneto, for Fox.
