One of the most exciting horror projects on the horizon is that Leigh Whannell wrote and will be directing a new The Invisible Man movie for Blumhouse and Universal, part of a new initiative from Universal in the wake of the failure of their Dark Universe. The lower-budget film is said to be character driven and scary, and casting is now underway.

Variety reports today that Elisabeth Moss (“The Handmaid’s Tale”, Jordan Peele’s Us) is in “the extremely early stages” of negotiations to star in Whannell’s fresh take.

Johnny Depp, who had been previously attached to The Invisible Man when it was going to be rebooted for the Dark Universe, is reportedly not part of this project.

More as we learn it.

From New Line Cinema and producer Zach Cregger (Director: Barbarian) comes the upcoming sci-fi/horror movie Companion, which has officially received its “R” rating this week.

Companion has been rated “R” by the MPA for…

“Strong violence, sexual content, and language throughout.”

The film’s cast includes Sophie Thatcher (“Yellowjackets,” The Boogeyman) alongside Rupert Friend (Separation), Harvey Guillén (“What We Do in the Shadows”), Lukas Gage (“You”), Megan Suri (It Lives Inside), and Jack Quaid (Scream, “The Boys”).

Described as a sci-fi/horror movie, Companion will mark the directorial debut of Drew Hancock, who also wrote the script. At this time, plot details are under wraps.

In other words, we have no idea what to expect from this one. Stay tuned for more.
