David Goyer talked to MTV recently about his two upcoming projects X-MEN ORIGINS: MAGNETO, and THE INVISIBLE MAN. He also has THE FLASH coming up, but he is currently wrestling with which of the former two he'll do first. He doesn't know yet, but he talked a little about his take on THE INVISIBLE MAN, which actually sounds pretty sweet.
"I’m writing a new version of ‘The Invisible Man’ for Universal... I’m in the process of doing ['Invisible Man'] right now, and I’m working with some conceptual artists in tandem with writing the script. I’m actually working with one of the artists from ‘Batman Begins’ and ‘The Dark Knight.’ So it could be ‘Magneto,’ or it could be ‘The Invisible Man’ next.”
“It involves Scotland Yard getting their hands on the current Invisible Man and basically saying, ‘Wow, you’d be a really good secret agent to send into Imperial Russia right now... It starts off from there.”
However, the article also calls him "red hot" and I'm not entirely certain how that happened. Because he is credited for THE DARK KNIGHT? I'd love to know how much he actually contributed to the movie and how much was the brothers Nolan just taking what he had and making it awesome. Those guys can make anything look cool. If I was a white supremacist, I'd totally hire them to put a positive spin on The Holocaust. I'm not saying they could do it, but let's be honest they totally could.
Extra Tidbit:
Goyer was originally in the mix to direct HELLBOY, before Del Toro got involved.
