The Dark Universe Thread

I guess Dracula Untold being the launching pad is being downplayed and The Mummy will be the true start of the shared universe.

So the real movie list is:

The Mummy (2017)
Untitled Invisible Man film (TBA)
Untitled Wolf Man film (TBA)
Untitled Van Helsing film (TBA)
Untitled Creature from the Black Lagoon film (TBA)
Untitled Bride of Frankenstein film (TBA) with no standalone Frankenstein's monster film.

Sofia Boutella, Russell Crowe , Javier Bardem, Johnny Depp are all still attached.

It’s a new creation, so it doesn’t owe much of a debt to prior films, but it is still a very romantic departure from the character as incepted in Bram Stoker’s novel, Dracula, where it was a Dutch doctor who figures out a very surprising answer to an odd medical question. This is a monster hunter with encyclopedic knowledge, but it’s set in the present day and it’s just filled with good stuff I’m not allowed to talk about. But I’m very excited about this new incarnation of Van Helsing, and I hope that as the Universal Monsters Cinematic Universe begins to take flight, we’ll see him cropping up in other stories, as well.

Dracula Untold is The Incredible Hulk of Universal Monsters.

Javier Bardem in talks to the play Frankenstein's Monster. Which I feel he's already playing the same role in the latest Pirates film.
