‘Invisible Man’ Reboot Is About ‘Female Empowerment’

Gunpowder & Sky

Elisabeth Moss is having an eventful 2019, with the highest-grossing film (Us) and finest movie efficiency (Her Smell) of her profession and season three of Hulu’s Emmy-winning The Handmaid’s Tale on the horizon. She additionally not too long ago signed up for Leigh Whannell and Jason Blum’s reboot of The Invisible Man, the one film in her filmography to be referred to as a “fresh strategy for Universal’s monsters properties.” Neat! The Mad Men star is prohibited from revealing an excessive amount of in regards to the undertaking, however she did say — spoiler — she’s not the titular man.

“I haven’t gotten into what I’m allowed to say, yet. I’m pretty sure I can say that I’m not ‘The Invisible Man.’ That would be weird,” Moss advised the Hollywood Reporter. “It’s a little bit of a different take on it. Part of the reason why I wanted to do it is I actually felt like it was a really feminist story of female empowerment and a victim kind of overcoming something. I don’t even know what I’m allowed to say about it! I’m not the Invisible Man, but there is an Invisible Man — if that makes any sense.” It doesn’t, however Moss enjoying an Axl Rose-inspired, Courtney Love-esque rocker didn’t make sense at first, both, and Her Smell is nice.

(It in all probability goes with out saying, however neither the H.G. Wells’ 1897 Invisible Man novel or 1933 black-and-white movie is about “female empowerment,” so this can be a large change. I’m positive everybody could have a relaxed response to this.)

But whereas Moss is giving horror a shot, she’s not able to step into one other style: superheroes. “I don’t know how good I would be at the whole green screen thing,” she mentioned. To be performing with nothing, I discover that extremely tough. We’ll see.” In phrases of intimidation, Thanos ain’t obtained nothing on Peggy Olson.
