I came across this while surfing for updates on Rachael's movies. Enjoy.

THE INVISIBLE GIRL (mixed, minor spoilers)

This is not some kind of comic book type movie. Rachel Lee Cook stars as the title character but she's not invisible in the physical sense (cause that would be a damn shame!) No, Rachel's character, Jennifer, is simply going through the days as an unnoticed person. It all stems from her hippie parents who, first of all, were surprised she was born (she was an unexpected twin) and then they adopt a Vietnamese baby who is already named Jennifer. Anyway, Jen is the shy and quiet type. She is the kind of person that you don't give a moment's thought too (man, they're really gonna have to play her down.) One night, she witnesses a murder and then sees a thief (the ski mask and gloves are kind of a give-away) come upon the body. Both men see Jen who quickly bolts. (The two men are not working together, by the way). The thief, Nicholas, finds Jen the next day when she comes back to the murder scene (where the press is naturally gathered). He kidnaps her and brings her back to his place and explains that he's not the killer. Jen of course knows this but then again; this is the first real excitement she's ever had in her life. A good portion of the story then involves these two getting to know each other better. Nicholas is actually a thief working with a friend who plans to rob an armored truck. The killer is really just a back-story. Even the cops aren't really a factor until Jen realizes that the killer is getting close to her. She issues an open challenge to him through the media and the game is on for what is a kinda quick resolution. Now, I found this to be well written in a quirky independent type of way. I like the banter between Jen and Nicholas. My only problem really is how easy Jen is able to slip in and out of situations without being seen. It's almost like she really is invisible! Which again, she isn't. I've been a fan of Miss Cook's for awhile and I appreciate her taking on quirky roles like this one but between you and me, if I saw her walking down the street...trust me she wouldn't be invisible. Bottom line: this little independent film could be a nice quirky (i like that word, so sue me) breath of fresh air if you're looking to get away from your big studio films. At the very least, I'd recommend a matinee/sneak in. The dialogue's kinda snappy which is a plus.

Gotta love how they misspelled her first AND middle names. lol Smile

Anyway, this project actually was almost made several years back. Unfortunately, it never happened due to the backers failing to come up with the promised funds at the last moment. Frown Doh! Anyway, don't expect to see this one anytime soon. It's a shame, because I really think that it sounded like a nice project. Rachael's production company was even all set to produce this one. Oh well.

It is actually a known fact around here that I am responsible for this movie not being made. You see, I registered invisible-girl.com when this movie was announced, so as to make a mini-site (extension of rlc.net) to promote the movie, and of course, that was the kiss of death.

I would like to apologize to all the fans who wanted to see this movie.

I had just found out about it here!


-------
“When I was born, the doctor asked my parents, ‘How do you want to spell Rachel?’ And they were, like, ‘There's another way to spell it?’ It didn't cost anything extra, and they liked it, so they added the ‘a.’ But now at restaurants when I put my name down, they always call out Raquel or Rach-a-el.” - RACHAEL LEIGH COOK.

There are old threads on this MB discussing this, actually. Here is one I found from a few years ago:
