Universal Pictures has released a first trailer for The Invisible Man, a modern day re-imagining of the classic H.G. Wells’ novel about a brilliant scientist who wreaks havoc on humanity when he discovers how to become invisible.

This time out, the mad genius (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) is also a stupidly rich and abusive husband who, after conquering invisibility, feigns his own death as part of a malicious scheme to punish his homely wife (Elisabeth Moss) for leaving him. Why he wouldn’t just use his power to spy on college coeds a la School Spirit is beyond us, but this looks like a thrilling remake…or what could have been a solid Hollow Man 3.

The Invisible Man is helmed by SAW scribe and Upgrade director Leigh Whannell. It appears in theaters Feb. 8, 2020.
