Universal’s effort to expand its ‘classic monster movie universe’ has gained more momentum with the news that none other than Johnny Depp has been cast as the lead in The Invisible Man. The film will be the latest in a number of adaptation of H.G. Wells seminal sci-fi novella from 1897. This really is a casting coup for Universal.
Depp’s casting follows hot on the heels of Universal’s reboot of The Mummy franchise, starring a certain Mr Tom Cruise. With star names attached to them, I don’t see how these projects can fail.
