Sony Pictures is reportedly making a remake of "The Invisible Man", which is an adaptation of H.G. Wells' 1886 novel of the same name.
According to Hollywood website Tracking Board, the new spin "will make the Invisible Man the villain of the film, with the audience following the hero that is tasked to hunt him down".
Other details are not available, but the studio will face competition from Universal Pictures which is also rebooting the classic story, reports aceshowbiz.com.
Universal's "The Invisible Man" is planned to be part of a bigger Avengers-style universe. The project of building a shared world for the studio's Monsters properties has begun with "Dracula Untold" starring Luke Evans last year.
The other monsters in the crossover project include "The Mummy", "Creature from the Black Lagoon", "Frankenstein" (2017), "The Wolfman Reboot", and "Bride of Frankenstein".
