'I'm never going to be able to write a scene that will make Adrian as scary as the audience can make him.' TheInvisibleMan director Leigh Whannell was warned the opening sequence wouldn't work, but stuck to his guns
’ Cecilia Kass and her attempt to leave an abusive relationship involving Adrian Griffin , a powerful tech entrepreneur with plenty of resources. The film begins with Cecilia’s careful escape from Adrian’s palatial compound, which immediately reveals the troubled nature of their relationship.
I really appreciated how the movie begins with Cecilia’s escape, as opposed to showing us ten minutes of her abusive relationship first. The way she fled Adrian’s house told us everything we needed to know without you having to overwhelm us with exposition throughout the movie.
I remember this quote from Judi Dench once — and I’ll probably mangle this because I always mangle quotes. I think Cate Blanchett asked her for advice on playing a queen and was like, “What’s the key to playing Queen Elizabeth?” And Judi Dench said, “It’s not about what you do. It’s about what the people around you do. It’s how the people around you act that tells the audience who you are and everything about you.” That quote and that theory is what drove me in that scene.
It’s interesting because I’m not necessarily sure — and maybe I’m wrong in this — that there’s a huge difference in writing characters between men and women. Obviously, in real life, there are real differences between men and women. There are physiological things that women are going through that men aren’t going through. There are hormonal differences between each as well.
