An Invisible Man remake is being made and Saw co-creator Leigh Whannell has been tapped to direct and co-produce alongside producer Jason Blum.

Variety reports that Whannell will be returning to work with Blum’s Blumhouse Productions for The Invisible Man. Previously he had worked with the company on films including Insidious: The Last Key and Upgrade.

Sources have also said that we will no longer see Johnny Depp, who was previously reportedly cast as the leading man, in the upcoming film.

The inclusion of Whannell is in line with Universal’s new strategy to reinvigorate its monster properties by combining classic intellectual properties with innovative directors, especially after losing two producers after the disappointing Mummy reboot.

“Throughout cinematic history, Universal’s classic monsters have been reinvented through the prism of each new filmmaker who brought these characters to life,” Peter Cramer, Universal’s president of production told Variety “We are excited to take a more individualized approach for their return to screen, shepherded by creators who have stories they are passionate to tell with them.”

This is after the reconfiguration of the previous Dark Universe set up that Universal was pushing for its monster properties, which included having previous Invisible Man writer Ed Soloman step back from the project.
