I love and adore HG Wells book but for some reason I always remeber the Griffin from the League of Extraordinary gentlemen who does appear to give of more of whta Wells was getting at in that he has a morals and will betray anyone even those who would be his friends for greater gain..
Thtas also why I think of him as Hawleyunfortunately -

I think unfortunately the Invisible Man has been done to death, This original and John Carpenter's stand as teh best in my opinion.
It'd be a lot like Frankenstein, that's been done over and over, some get closer and closer to the original book and yet we all know the Universal original will always be the best. -

The key reason the remakes suck is because they don't have a talented eccentric director like James Whale. Sure, his Invisible Man is not a direct adaptation of the novel- but such a thing is not possible. Something called adaptation decay happens, and you just have to compensate for this with further creativity.
James Whale really made the film his own with the unique wit and humor attached to it.

It really annoys me that directors/ film companies these days find themselves
compelled
to constantly put their stamp on a readaptation of a classic. We saw what happened with the 1999 remake of The Mummy (Ardeth Bay and Imhotep as separate characters, are you fricking kidding me?), why should that happen here?
Sorry, it would be such a slap in the face to those who love the original to even
consider
attempting to remake it. You can't have the Invisible Man without Whale, without Rains, god, even Una O'Connor. The film doesn't need a "revamping", so really, some respect should be shown.

I AGREE. IT'S UNTHINKABLE TO ME THAT THERE AREN'T WRITERS OUT THERE WITH ORIGINAL MATERIAL. HOLLYWOOD SUCKS EGGS. IF THEY SIGNED ME UP I'LL BET I COULD WRITE FIVE TERRIFIC SCREENPLAYS A YEAR. THEN THEY COULD CHOOSE AT LEAST ONE PER YEAR TO PRODUCE. WRITING IS BECOMING A LOST SKILL. EVEN YOU READ IN HERE AND PEEPS CAN'T SPELL OR THEIR GRAMMAR IS LOUSY.

I would have liked to have seen a Hammer Films remake in the early 1960's.
Who else but Christopher Lee could have voiced Griffin?
Peter Cushing definitely for the more heroic Doctor Kemp of the book.
And if you've read the book you know that Michael Ripper was born to play Thomas Marvel.
My only concern is whether Les Bowie would have been up to the special effects level of John P. Fulton. But since this movie is not going to happen - let's say yes.
Isn't this a strange conversation for men who aren't crazy? -
