Dark Universe

[LaettnersLegacy]

Universal has Ben trying to restart a shared universe for years now, remaking several movies


The most successful seems to be the Brandon Frazier Mummy even if it's more action then horror


What do you think it would,f take successfully do a Dark Universe?
Or you can't capture lightning in the bottle twice and we should just enjoy the OGs?

Don't market it as such. Just make a good movie, that hopefully changes into a franchise, then around the 4th film, change it up to "monster vs. Monsters". Like they did with the old Frankenstein films.

I don't think they consider the Brendan Fraser Mummy part of their new universe even though I would argue it's the best movie they've done for modern classic monsters.   I would have liked just a BIT more of a traditional Mummy but it was a good fun movie.

The Tom Cruise Mummy was part of the Dark Universe, so was Benicio De Toro's WOLFMAN-- at least according to the Universal Theme Park which features that version of the character on it.

What they keep missing is just making a good movie with good characters.  Fraser's Mummy had that.  Everything they've done since (and I'm conjecturing here because I've not watched them) seem to be missing any sense of fun like the originals had.

Toro's Wolfman was a good werewolf movie. Like Curse of the Werewolf or Boy Who Cried Werewolf. There's only one Lawrence Talbot, The Wolfman. He died with Lon Chaney Jr.
