It has been confirmed that Johnny Depp will play the part of
the invisible man in one of Universal's classic monster movie remakes. As there
have been many movie versions of the invisible man since the character portrayal by
Claude Rains in the 1933 original film, it is difficult to say if Johnny Depp's
portrayal of the invisible man will be a insane and murderous character or a sympathetic
character like Arthur Franz played in the 1951 Abbott and Costello version of
the film. However, it is easy to imagine Johnny Depp's portrayal of the
invisible man having a nasty touch of the Barber of Seville in him.
More to come.
