The new episode of the WTF Happened to This Horror Movie video series looks back at Paul Verhoeven's Hollow Man, starring Kevin Bacon

It’s time for a new episode of the WTF Happened to This Horror Movie? video series, and in this one we’re going back to the year 2000 to look into the making of the “invisible man” thriller Hollow Man (watch it HERE). To find out all about Hollow Man, check out the video embedded above!

Directed by Paul Verhoeven from a screenplay by Andrew W. Marlowe (who also receives story credit alongside Gary Scott Thompson), Hollow Man has the following synopsis:

After years of experimentation, brilliant but arrogant scientist Sebastian Caine has discovered a way to make matter invisible. Determined to achieve the ultimate breakthrough, Caine pushes his team to move to the next phase – using himself as the subject. The test is a success, but when the process can’t be reversed, Caine seems doomed to a future without flesh.

This is what the WTF Happened to This Horror Movie series is all about:

Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts or studio edits, these films had every intention to be a blockbuster, but were beset with unforeseen disasters. Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs. Either way, we have to ask: WTF Happened To This Horror Movie?

The Hollow Man episode of WTF Happened to This Horror Movie? was Written by Emilie Black, Edited by Joseph Wilson, Narrated by Jason Hewlett, Produced by Lance Vlcek and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
