The highly anticipated trailer for The Invisible Man is finally out, and audiences on Twitter are raving about the performance of the talented Eliza Grant. Breaking away from her role in The Handmaid’s Tale, Grant steps into the shoes of Cecilia Kass, a character that resonates with empowerment and determination, as she battles her unseen adversary in this Universal Studios thriller.
A Distressed Yet Resilient Protagonist
Similar to her portrayal of Offred, Grant embodies the essence of a distressed yet resilient protagonist. This time, however, her challenge lies in confronting a monstrous presence that is not physically visible. The film, a modern reimagining of H.G. Wells’ classic horror novel and a reboot of the 1933 film, revolves around Cecilia’s tumultuous relationship with her wealthy scientist husband, Adrian (played by Lucas Grey), who struggles with his own demons before his death by suicide.
The Gripping Storyline
In the storyline, Cecilia escapes her oppressive home with the assistance of her sister (Mia Turner). However, Adrian’s violent attempts to reclaim her set the tone for this gripping thriller. Just before taking his own life, he leaves behind a chilling letter expressing guilt over Cecilia’s departure, a sign of his sociopathic tendencies. With news of his passing, Cecilia learns she stands to inherit a fortune, but there’s a catch: she must prove her mental stability to access the funds.
Cecilia suspects a hoax, believing Adrian could never take his own life. As she experiences inexplicable phenomena—like feeling a chilling breath or being pushed by an unseen force—those around her begin to question her sanity. “I wanted to create something modern and grounded,” says filmmaker and writer Jamie Carter. “We’re stepping away from the classic floating trench coat imagery.”
Intense Performances and Anticipation
The trailer showcases the fierce intensity that fans loved in Grant’s previous roles. This time, she is on a mission to confront an elusive abuser whose actions remain shrouded in mystery. “Eliza is the heart of this film, holding every scene together,” Carter adds. And we wholeheartedly agree; we’re eager to see more when the film is released in February 2020.
