Hollow Man

Hollow Man is a 2000 German–American science fiction thriller film directed by Paul Verhoeven, written by Andrew W. Marlowe, and starring Elisabeth Shue, Kevin Bacon, Josh Brolin, Kim Dickens, Greg Grunberg, Joey Slotnick, Mary Randle, and William Devane. Inspired by H.G. Wells' 1897 novel The Invisible Man and its 1933 film adaptation, it tells the story of Sebastian Caine, a scientist who volunteers to be the first human test subject for a serum that renders the user invisible. When his fellow scientists are unable to restore him back to normal, he eventually becomes violently insane and goes on a murderous rampage. The film received negative reviews but was a financial success, grossing $190 million worldwide. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects in 2001, losing to Gladiator.
A direct-to-video stand-alone sequel called Hollow Man 2, starring Christian Slater and Peter Facinelli, was released in 2006.
