Books & Adaptations.

So, this morning I learn that my favorite book, H.G. Wells’ “The Invisible Man”, is being adapted by the folks at Blumhouse and Directed by Leigh Whannell (Insidious 3, & Upgrade).

My thoughts on this is a sigh of relief, because it was originally slated to be apart of the ‘Dark Universe’, and was originally going to Star Johnny Depp as The Invisible One. Thank God, this isn’t happening, because it would’ve most likely become an action film.

Whannell’s work impressed with the two films under his belt. He made a competent “Insidious” installment and “Upgrade” was a great science fiction film. I’m hoping that he can bring the story back to it’s roots and adapt the story as it was or at least capture the essence of the book.

Overall, I’m excited about the adaptation but I’m cautiously optimistic about the whole thing. I’m going to have to see the direction that this is going.

So my final question to you guys is this: “What is the book you want adapted properly?”
