David Goyer's THE INVISIBLE
Hey folks, Harry here... David Goyer's THE INVISIBLE trailer has hit online and it is pretty fascinating and sharp looking. It stars that bastard kid from CHUMSCRUBBER that played the brat son of Tom Cruise in Spielberg's WAR OF THE WORLDS. Actually - I like him - he's just played bastards in the two films I've seen him in. Here, he seems more sympathetic. If you want to see a big version of the trailer, head over to Myspace.com/TheInvisibleMovie - otherwise - check out our embedded version below...

too soon
-
first
-
The Invisibles. sorry, couldn't resist.
-
a reeeaaalllly long time ago.
-
but i didnt go to the screening.
-
Not like a complete rip off but it certainly has some similarities.
-
Haven't seen it.
-
Patrick Swayze. and if Vincent Schiavelli were still with us, he'd be a better choice for that bearded guy.
-
over the end credits. i mean if you're going to rip-off GHOST go balls out man. you know what I'm thinking.
-
thus, the january release.
-
ditto. ditto.
-
your mom...too soon....pwnd...
-
It's always a tough call, whether to show basically the whole movie (or at least the best bits)and attract more people or to keep the some of the best stuff secret so that the audience can actually enjoy the movie fresh and still be surprised
After watching this trailer I feel like I've already seen this movie -
Does anyone know when the crazy ass, ultra bold font AICN is using for it's HTML article heading titles, will be cleaned up, as the headings are too damn blurry and hard to read.
-
The trailer looks cool, but I am worried that it will be goyerifically bad, scarred as I was by Blade: Trinity.
That being said, as long as there are some producers/executive producers with enough clout to reign in Goyer's excesses, then it has a chance. -
...as a movie. Too out there for anyone but fans of the comic to get and appreciate. Although John Leguizamo would make a great Lord Fanny.
-
Damn! Got here too late to make the first 'How much does this just look like Ghost' comment...
-
but I like Citizens Here and Abroad, they have potential.
-
Is in this film and she's smoking hot..
-
What the hell are you talking about?
-
Didn't Patrick Swayze already do this? But lets put it in a high school setting.
-
You understand that a shitload of Whedon's work, or at least the stuff on Buffy and Angel is slightly derivative of LITERARY fiction. Stuff that isn't readily available on television. I don't remember the story exactly, but I know that it involved a person literally "becoming" invisible, and struggling to become visible again. It's been done. A lot. Whedon wasn't pioneering the genre, he was remodelling in his name. That doesn't give him "created by" credit.
-
BLADE TRINITY!!!!!!!! Didn't Wesley Snipes sue Goyer because that one was so bad? Oh, and I the only one who is getting an Ashton Kutcher BUTTERFLY EFFECT vibe here?
-
Originally a Swedish movie from a few years ago called Den Osynlige. Which is pretty decent, if only because it doesn't have that incredibly annoying kid from War of the Worlds in it.
-
It sounded like a troll there for a second...
-
Don't hear anything. This movie looks extremely meh. PG-13. Great.
-
Seriously I've seen this shit somewhere before. And yeah that Buffy episode about the girl dissapearing because she isn't noticeable at all was pretty good... Not that I'm saying this movie is a rip off of that or of Ghost... Maybe.
-
Why even show a shower scene, teases.
-
The movie "The Invisible" is about a dead or dying high schooler trying to solve his own murder. The Buffy episode "The Invisible" is about a girl disappearing because nobody notices her, and she starts fucking people up. If you're gonna cry Whedon rip-off, come at that shit with more than a title. Fucking talkback dipshits.
-
episode of the twilight zone or something.. but a movie? meh. and I'm a big Goyer fan.. but geez.. this looks like a big old snoozarino. movies should be a frigging event, not a padded out episode of the X-Files. and come on, "if you get back to your body in time you may live again" shut up. just shut up old creept plot exposition ghost. time to get back into the lab and start coming up with some new formulas hollywood. as in ones that we haven't seen eleventy kajillion times already.
-
Saw a test screening a few months ago. It needed some work, but maybe the finished version is now better. It was "OK"... just not nearly as good as the original foreign version... all the visceral power of the ending of the original version is completely sucked out of this one. The one weak link... Marcia Gay Harden seemed like she was phoning in her role. I normally really like her in movies, but not this one.
-
I own all of Buffy, Angel and Firefly on DVD and i think the guy is god of entertainment personified. But you have to understand, there is 144 episodes of Buffy alone and the man had reinterpret MOST horror and supernatural cliches already. In other words, there are few modern supernatural movies thats won't share a theme or a premise or a plot point with one of Whedon's works. I mean i read about a movie that sounded a LOT like 'tabula rasa' episode but that doesn't mean they are ripping it off. A movie where strangers waking up not knowing who they are is a premise one can come up oneself without even knowing about Joss's works. It's the same case here and the girl in the episode you talked about wasn't even dead. If anything i would call this a rip-off of more well known 'Ghost' then a copy of a season 1 episode of Buffy. But one can take ideas and reinvent them, especially from an old over-rated movie like 'Ghost'.
Also, the episode was called, 'Out of mind, out of sight' not 'The invisible'. Maybe you are not as big a Whedon fan as you tought you were... -
Dude, I'm a Whedon fan too. In fact, if I lived in Southern California, I'd probably stalk the motherfucker. I'm also kinda "eh" about David Goyer; his material always seems to depend on the talent involved. So believe me, when I'm telling you that you sound like a fucking possesed crack-monkey that's humping Whedon's leg, then you might wanna check and see if you've grown a tail.***This movie - which can only be called Goyer's insomuch as he directed it - is, AGAIN FOR THE CHEAP SEATS, about a boy who's killed, comes back as a ghost, and has to solve the mystery of his death. In Whedon's The Invisible - no, wait, it was actually called "Out of Mind, Out of Sight", Clea DuVall starts off as invisible. As in, literally. Not a ghost, a living breathing human being who turned invisible because nobody paid any attention to her. Her actions have consequences. They are felt. Some students get hurt because of her actions. Whereas whatever the brat teenager from War of the Worlds does is immediately reset like it never happened. Now you've got an argument for this movie ripping off Ghost or The Sixth Sense; it's iffy, but it's there. But don't even waste your time finding a connection to Buffy because it doesn't even stretch. Jesus, I bet motherfuckers like you think The Godfather was stolen from a story Whedon etched into his mother's womb.***And one more thing: You keep talking like it was Goyer who ripped off Whedon, when this is actually a remake of Den Osynlige, a 2002 thriller based on a novel by Mats Wahl. So if you're gonna keep on this ridiculous fucking notion that this movie is a ripoff of Buffy, then you can at least blame the goddamn Swedes, shitbag.
-
when it was called Ghost Dad. Oh, wait. I didn't like the movie then, either.
But you know. Disembodied dude has to find dying body. Etc. -
Why I'm bitching about trolls in an AICN talkback, I don't know. Either way, I'm done.
-
On the other hand David Goyer can do no wrong ,we'll see...
-
Val Kilmer as Lord Fanny. No doubt about it. Maybe.
-
Yeah, this has been done before. Why not adapt J. Michael Stracinski's Midnight Nation, a slightly more original take on the same idea.
-
2 questions: 1) The girl in the Buffy episode...wasn't she invisible because she felt ignored...and NOT because she was murdered? Also...it's implied that this kid is either a GHOST or an ASTRAL version of himself and not really invisible. Right? 2) Should H.G. Wells' estate sue Joss Whedon for ripping off the INVISIBLE MAN? It would make more sense than comparing Goyer's work to Whedon's........ and 3) Without having brushed your teeth or popped a tic-tac right after, just how does Whedon't cockhead taste like? -
Guess those were 3 questions, technically. Had to squeeze that last one in there ;-)
-
Now that we know everything that happens....it pretty much ruins the entire movie. This is why I;m not watching the trailers for The Fountain.
-
Um...dude. The Buffy classroom scene had zero in common with that trailer...except that it was in a CLASSROOM. At no point did the girl throw a book across a room or have her poetry made fun of as she sat there. And you STILL haven't answered my third question. :-)
-
...because he knows that "Battlestar Galactica" owns his ass every single day of the year. Whedon is an overrated whore. Deal.
-
Yes, the story is pretty well worn but Goyer has some talent. Also that kid was pretty good in Chumscrubber. Now where is the pottery wheel...?
-
I was actually gonna respond to your misguided points based on your first couple of posts. Unfortunately the Whedon fanatic facade your wearing started to slip quite a log in your subsequent posts. Still, I'm sure you're having a great time baiting people with obviously flawed agrguments. Enjoy!
-
myopic.
-
CUZ NO ONE'S GOING TO SEE IT! AHAHAHA. But seriously, who the fuck has faith in Goyer? Blade 2 and Trinity? His fucking awful show (even though it had Brent Spiner, who's awesome)? He almost totally fucked up Batman Begins, and it would have been SHIT if not for Chris Nolan!

the fifth episode of Sonic Warriors "Judger Be Judged" is ready to rock your face nuggets...WATCH IT!!!

Fuck Joss Whedon. This is also an X-Files episode. The EXACT same setup, except confined to a hospital. And it sucked.

Style doesn't make up for lack of substance.

AGENT: Have I got a project for you!
DISNEY SUIT: Whatcha got?
AGENT: First a couple of questions - what two movies about ghosts have made the most money ever?
DISNEY SUIT: "Ghost" and "The Sixth Sense".
AGENT: Correct! Now, what demographic has the most disposable income, and probably hasn't seen either film?
DISNEY SUIT: The 12 - 18 year olds; tweens to college.
AGENT: Right! So, we combine "Ghost" and "The Sixth Sense", but for the tween/teen market! Give it a rockin' soundtrack full of that noise the kids love, cast that kid with the doe eyes who played Cruise's son in "War of the Worlds", and presto! It's like a license to print money!
DISNEY SUIT: But the grown-ups might figure it out. We need to hire a name to direct.
AGENT: No problem! We get David Goyer. He's such a whore, he ripped off his own movie to make a horrible TV show. He'll do anything for money.
DISNEY SUIT: Great! Uh, you can stop pumping now, I'm done.
AGENT: Okay. Can I have a towel?
DISNEY SUIT: No. -
Dude, I apologize. I totally fell for your act and believed someone could be as idiotic as you seem to be. You got me, man. Color me baited, hooked, and drawn in. There's absolutely no way you could actually be this delusional, right? I've totally been messageboard-punked. Whoo! Good one!!
-
Not "Invisible". You really are the worst fan ever.
-
still.
-
When Whedon rips off anime and calls it "Firefly" and no one throws an uproar like this.
Reguardless, the boy is "killed" not ignored until he turns invisible like in Buffy. So how exactly is that like Mr. Whedon's show?
Stop sticking your nose so far up his ass you can smell what he had for breakfast before it's finished digesting (this means you MW), and realize Whedon isn't all he's cracked up to be, this movie doesn't look like a ripoff of Whedon's work atleast. Watch the movie before you become so judgemental. -
within any argument, then you have lost all credibility in life.
-
allright. allright! i would have bought it anyway but lets not pay out Whedon just because Metalwater is an idiot. (i think he is faking his POV) About that Battlestar comment, the show is intelligent and all, but by no mean it is as engaging as Buffy. Well maybe more then the last two season, but Joss was doing firefly then. And which anime did Joss rip firefly from? I am assuming u r talking about "cowboy bebop"and if you are, you are an idiot. The two shows have two totally different mood and style and lots of shows have the "bounty hunters in space" theme. Joss Whedon is, by no mean, overrated! You unbelievers will be converted when Wonder Woman come out!
-
when it was called "Ghost" - Next idea please.
-
at least that one had Napolean Dynamite in it. This one just looks too serious.
-
...was ripping off Bentley Little's The Ignored to begin with. Which, by the way, ripped off an old Twilight Zone episode.
-
called Den Osynlige, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0298491/. The Swedish writer is even credited.
-
It was called "Outlaw Star". It staretd out with the Girl in a box, cocky brash redheaded hero with a devil may care attitude and sidekicks. Lots of sidekicks, and a mysterious powerful empire-like enemy. So no, you ignorant fucking sow, i wasen't speaking of bebop. I was speaking of Outlaw Star. Research it sometime before name calling you reused cuntrag.
