ARTNEWSPRESS: Replace: In response to a report by The Hollywood Reporter, sources near Banks’ INVISIBLE WOMAN say the tone of the undertaking is THELMA & LOUISE meets PSYCHO. Additionally, only for clarification functions, the INVISIBLE WOMAN undertaking has thus far not been linked to Leigh Whannell’s THE INVISIBLE MAN starring Elisabeth Moss.
To not be deterred by unlucky field workplace returns for her CHARLIE’S ANGELS reboot, Elizabeth Banks is already plotting her subsequent transfer, and it simply so occurs to be for Common and their traditional film monster initiative. It has been introduced that Banks will direct and star in INVISIBLE WOMAN, an upcoming undertaking primarily based on the long-lasting horror determine of yesteryear.
Penning the script primarily based off of Banks’ authentic pitch is THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN author Erin Cressida Wilson, who’s lately been employed to pen Disney’s live-action adaptation of the traditional fairy story SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS. Producing the pic will probably be Banks and Max Handelman by way of their Brownstone Productions banner, which helped arrange the PITCH PERFECT collection in addition to CHARLIE’S ANGELS. Banks directed the aforementioned female-focused motion set piece, along with co-starring alongside Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska because the ass-kicking trifecta.
Banks’ INVISIBLE WOMAN will function the second undertaking to be arrange at Common that includes a brand new spin on the traditional horror character. In latest occasions, Blumhouse and Leigh Whannell accomplished work on INVISIBLE MAN, with Elisabeth Moss taking part in the widow of an abusive husband whom she fears remains to be lurking about, solely you may’t see him. In response to Deadline, Banks would be the one who turns invisible for the INVISIBLE WOMAN undertaking, although this angle has but to be confirmed by the powers that be.
Whoa! So we’re getting two Invisible Man-related tasks from the identical studio? That is not going to be complicated in any respect!
That being mentioned, I have to admit that I am inquisitive about Banks’ new pitch. For my cash, the trailer for Whannell’s INVISIBLE MAN has that film wanting superior, and I welcome the possibility to see one other artistic spin on the invisible premise. I say carry it on. And no, I do not care if CHARLIE’S ANGELS flopped. I nonetheless need to see that film when it hits Blu-ray, and if all of us gave up on filmmakers for one failed undertaking, we would be lacking out on loads of nice movies that occurred after they’d discovered from no matter errors have been made.
