In the meantime, next up for Universal's abandoned Dark Universe is Blumhouse and writer-director Leigh Whannell’s INVISIBLE MAN reboot starring Elisabeth Moss, Harriet Dyer, Aldis Hodge, Storm Reid, and Oliver Jackson-Cohen. That film follows this synopsis:
What you can’t see can hurt you. Emmy winner Elisabeth Moss (Us, The Handmaid’s Tale) stars in a terrifying modern tale of obsession inspired by Universal’s classic monster character. Trapped in a violent, controlling relationship with a wealthy and brilliant scientist, Cecilia Kass (Moss) escapes in the dead of night and disappears into hiding, aided by her sister (Harriet Dyer, NBC’s The InBetween), their childhood friend (Aldis Hodge, Straight Outta Compton) and his teenage daughter (Storm Reid, HBO’s Euphoria). But when Cecilia’s abusive ex (Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House) commits suicide and leaves her a generous portion of his vast fortune, Cecilia suspects his death was a hoax. As a series of eerie coincidences turns lethal, threatening the lives of those she loves, Cecilia’s sanity begins to unravel as she desperately tries to prove that she is being hunted by someone nobody can see.
THE INVISIBLE MAN is set to reach theatres on February 28, 2020. We'll let you know when we hear more regarding DARK ARMY.
