Universal Parks Reviving Classic Monsters?

[Mad Dog]

The Mummy-Tom Cruise
The Invisible Man-Johnny Depp
Did Angelina Jolie finally sign on for the bride of frankenstein?

Universal Dates A Kurtzman-Morgan Monster Movie For Presidents’ Day Weekend 2019 | Deadline

With three films already planned and budgeted, I'm pretty sure this will be in the parks sooner or later.

Rumor has Disney's Chairman Bob Iger in contention for the blood sucking Count Dracula vampire role. And Chapek is looking at the hunchback Igor role. Overheard in a bar frequented by Disney CM's.

The hardest sell of that part, will be passing Russell Crowe off as a nice guy...

If it's done right, it could be great. There's a lot of money in a successful movie universe. I'd like to see Universal take a gamble since they don't have a lot of good franchises currently.

Studios keep making horror movies because they are not expensive to make, making them easier to be profitable. If Universal would use their monsters in lower budget movies they might have more success.

In big news for the Monsters..

I wonder what terrible hair this Frankenstein will have?

 

[quinnmac000]

So far we have this (includes rumours and in talks)

Sofia Boutulla-The Mummy with Tom Cruise
Russell Crowe - Mr Hyde
Johnny Depp - The Invisible Man
Angelina Jolie - Bride of Frankenstein
The Rock - Wolfman
Jarvier Barden - Frankenstein
Scar Jo-Creature From the black Lagoon
Luke Evans-Dracula

Based on this cast...I'm more excited for this future ride than a potential avengers ride.

That's actually a very impressive line up. Would it be a single ride or a whole land?

 

[LiamRowbotham]

Very interesting mix up. I just can't tear away from the classics being SO good. I hope this doesn't mean they totally remove the classics from the parks.

 

[Mad Dog]

Actually, with Johnny Depp's recent string of box office flops, "The Invisible Man" is a very appropriate character for him to portray.

I find it weird that he gives off a rebel vibe but he's probably the biggest sell out in Hollywood.

Yep, he's a 'ho' that will do anything for a buck.

Nah he just likes to play dress up. Hints why he is never looks...normal in any of his recent films

You might want to scratch off Luke Evans from your list for now. All current signs seem to point to Dracula Untold being completely separate from the new Monster Cinematic Universe. There was talk at one point of possible incorporating it in somehow, however sense then they have changed tuned and said pretty bluntly that "The Mummy" would be the first film in the new Universe, which pretty much leave Luke Evans and Dracula Untold out in the cold.
