Hollow Man

Hollow Man is a 2000 American-German science fiction-thriller-horror film directed by Paul Verhoeven and starring Elisabeth Shue and Kevin Bacon. Bacon portrays the title character, a scientist who renders himself invisible and goes on a killing spree, a story inspired by H. G. Wells' novel The Invisible Man. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Visual Effects in 2001, but lost to Gladiator.

The film is Verhoeven's most recent American production. In 2013, Verhoeven remarked to The Hollywood Reporter: "I decided after Hollow Man, this is a movie, the first movie that I made that I thought I should not have made. It made money and this and that, but it really is not me anymore. I think many other people could have done that. I don't think many people could have made RoboCop that way, or either Starship Troopers. But Hollow Man, I thought there might have been 20 directors in Hollywood who could have done that. I felt depressed with myself after 2002." It partly contributed in his return to the Netherlands, his home country, where he made Black Book in 2006, which was considered a return to form.

    Hollow Man

    by: Rev Theory

    I could walk all night
    And never find what's right
    Searching for some peace
    To fill the void in me
    Yeah, yeah
    So was it hard for you to go?
    Did I fail to let you know
    That you are the one I needed most?
    Was is it hard for you to leave
    Without a care for me?
    It takes time to embrace the cold
    Until then I'm just a Hollow Man
    Steel frame in my mind
    Has faded black and white
    All that's left to say
    Fifteen years too late
    So was it hard for you to go?
    Did I fail to let you know
    That you are the one I needed most?
    Was is it hard for you to leave
    Without a care for me?
    It takes time to embrace the cold
    Until then I'm just a Hollow Man
    What have I become?
    The shadow of the sun?
    So was it hard for you to go?
    Did I fail to let you know
    That you were the one I needed most?
    Was is it hard for you to leave
    Without a care for me?
    It takes some time to embrace the cold
