The Invisible Man (read our review), which was quickly made available as a premium VOD offering after the nationwide closing of theaters, is now on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive inside look at the development of the film with director Leigh Whannell (Saw, Insidious, Upgrade), who talks about his approach to scripting the psychological thriller that modernizes Universal’s classic monster against a backdrop of an empowered woman facing her tormentor.
“You do have to tread carefully,” says Whannell. “I was very aware of that and respectful and reverent of the character, but at the same time, I had to forget about all of that reverence to make a good movie and in that way I would honor the character.”
