Classic Monster Reboot - Dark Universe

[Mad Dog]

What creature would that be?

1950's classic camp horror movie. So terrible that it's memorable.

Those are some of the best movies.

Those are some of the best movies.

Yeah, actually much better comedy than horror films. The 1950's produced some really bad horror movies that make Sharknado look like an Academy Award Best Picture nominee.

I'll defend CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON as a legitimately solid B-movie, though. And the Gill Man himself is an iconic creation...

Perhaps the coolest design of any of the Classic Monsters.

The new mummy tv spot reveals a lot more detail that the last trailer missed! So be careful because its tells a lot

I'm excited. Hope it does well and we get some updated monster stuff in the parks

I agree, as long as they don't totally erase all evidence of the Classic versions in the process.

Trailer being shown in Asia...very different feel from the US trailers

From Beauty and the Beast to Bride of Frankenstein!!!
Bill Condon In Talks To Helm ‘Bride of Frankenstein’ At Universal Pictures | Deadline

Condon’s filmography is hit-or-miss with me, but him signing onto this project would excite me. He’s a real deal, old school horror fan with a deep affection for the James Whale/Universal Frankenstein films, in particular. And TWILIGHT movies aside, he usually takes great care with believable character work.

Script spoilers on the Bride of Frankenstein. Read at your own risk but sounds....interesting.

Edit: Article got pulled.

:thumbsup: With every preview this looks better & better. And I'm not a horror film or Tom Cruise fan.

Better start getting those Mummy rides in, I wonder how long it would be before Mummy gets closed for a refurb if this does gangbuster money at the cinema (which I expect it to do just seeing the trailers)

The online perception despite each trailer getting better has been overwhelming mixed based on social media sites and trailer reviewers saying no one asked for this, this will suck, why is Universal trying to be like Marvel and DC when they can't. But then again people said that same stuff with Fate of the Furious online and it done boohoo amount of money.

 

[LieutLaww]

Oh no Universal wants to do movies that link and make them lots of money, how dare they copy everyone else (well Marvel as DC is still kind iffy atm )

Yeah, just like how Jurassic Park got Jurassic World updates... wait, crap... or how MSHI got MCU updates... wait, crap...

Regardless of how this movie does, Mummy needs to be closed and updated...Ideally, in my perfect world, it would be a redux including the classic monsters, the outside would be the Universal Monster Museum....but ya know...

I am excited to see how this one does, it seems the Monster's Universe has restarted several times

Don't get too excited about the Creature movie.

Hearing iffy things about Mummy's shooting script. Supposedly Tom Cruise's involvement helped significantly, so it could turn around.
