Invisible Woman to be directed by, and star, Elizabeth Banks

Universal Pictures is moving forward with “Invisible Woman” with Elizabeth Banks to star and direct. The original pitch came from Banks, and Erin Cressida Wilson wrote the current draft.

Banks and Max Handelman will produce through their Brownstone Productions – which did the most recent “Charlie’s Angels”, that also was directed by and starred Banks.

Per Deadline, “The Invisible Woman” becomes the second disappearing act for Universal, based on the studio’s classic monster character. Blumhouse and Leigh Whannell have completed production on “Invisible Man”, with Elisabeth Moss playing the widow of an abusive husband and fears he might still be around, only you can’t see him.
