The Invisible Man trailer - Leigh Whannell (Upgrade) directing, Blumhouse producing
- Thread starter More_Badass
- Start date
Nice.
I'd like to see if she tries the "drop a bucket of paint over the invisible person" solution.
Moss for 44 minutes: :-|
Director: "Aaaaannnnd scene! Great job, Elizabeth! Bravo! That's a wrap everyone!"
I just finished watching the entire series of these from the 30s and 40s, so I'm quiet interested with this. Hopefully it will start a good, smart continuation of these classic horror monster types.
Those of you familiar with Whannel's previous work really thought he was going to show a spoilerific trailer? The man has been responsible for some of the best twist endings. I can't wait to see what he's got in store for this one.
This thread made me realize that Leigh Whannell was behind Upgrade and that makes me absolutely need to see that movie as soon as possible.
Also this looks awesome, gonna see this despite horror not usually being my thing.

Been hoping this would turn out good when it was announced that Universal was giving Blumhouse/Whannel the reigns on smaller scale horror movies based on classic monsters.
Interesting take on playing the Invisible Man as a ghost or mental health issues.
Don't like Elizabeth Moss and her snowflake Scientology bullshit.
Trailer shows too much. Nice to know from Whannel's tweet that there's much more left to the movie than what the trailer shows but...a first trailer should have kept things more low key. Focusing on the ghost or "is she just crazy?" aspect. Maybe not show the overt "there is an Invisible Man wrecking shit!" stuff.
Once the movie is out, I'm curious to see if this trailer spoiled the ending. There's a part in there where
Was pretty quick but had the look/feel of a climax.
Anyway, hope it's good and gets us more classic monster movies. Werewolf/Wolf Man needs a good one.

Moss says something to the effect of "now I see you!" and starts stabbing the shit out of, presumably, the Invisible Man

I feel like this is an attempt to stem the disinterest. The movie will end up like that trailer

Upgrade is amazing, my #3 fav of 2018. Excellently-paced grungy cyberpunk body horror action, unabashed b-movie pulp that low-key tells an evocative and disturbing sci-fi tale
Exactly. The dark universe was a good idea if they actually did the dark universe. And not the action adventure universe.

Seriously one of the best supervillain performances I've ever seen. That perfect balance of megalomaniacal conviction and cackling insanity
I liked Hollow man, it had Rhona Mitra and that's always a plus.
Seriously if a movie is entertaining it's a good film, This guilty pleasure thing is really obnoxious.
Snobby voice "It's not a good movie but it's a...GUILTY PLEASURE of mine" If you find a movie entertaining guess what? it's entertaining no matter the word you gonna use to say that you enjoyed watching it.

Quality and entertainment value are not correlated. "So bad it's good" movies are things for a reason
Looks great. I hope it does real well and Universal gives Blumhouse all the toys in the Universal Monsters toy box. I'd really like to see what they do with the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Looks good, but I'm afraid that trailer probably showed way more than what was necessary.
Mm. I hope so....

Green put Hardy to shame with his performance in Upgrade, compared to whatever Hardy was doing in Venom. I could not see Hardy pulling off that physical performance
Another trailer that just shows the whole film cut down into two minutes. Why would I go watch this now? I've seen the whole thing.
Well I wasn't gonna say anything but I was thinking that too. Good to hear that there may be more in the full movie.
Tbf, Hardy's bizarre performance is the most interesting thing about Venom and the only thing that makes it watchable.
Well what we learn in the movie literally covers the entire arc of the main character. I really doubt there' s a twist to deviate form that.

That's what I mean. Yes, Hardy's bizarre whatever-the-fuck-he-was-doing was the only saving grace of that movie. Green did that same concept and made it cool, funny, and horrifying
Yeah idk what "wrong" means here. More invis man shenanigans or more to the plot than the trailer is alluding to?
I did enjoy the twist in Upgrade although it was more because my dumbass did not catch on to it until the last minute.
I mean, I'm not going to credit all that to Green. Seems like the writers/directors play pretty big into that.
Venom is a horribly written/directed/edited film and everyone else in it is giving awful performances.

His body being a super-precise badass while his face is confused and terrified, or the disturbing physicality of the final scene, I feel 100% rests on Green's performance. Not to mention that I felt he was more in sync with the pulpiness of the script than I've seen Hardy be in any of his more b-movie films.
Green may be discount Tom Hardy but I could not see Hardy pulling off that role as well as Green did.
No doubt Green is doing a good job and sells the concept. I just don't know that I'd say Hardy couldn't do it.
In Bronson, Hardy shows a tremendous amount of nuance in a very physical performance.
I really just meant that Green looks uncannily like Hardy in Upgrade.
