Johnny Depp, Javier Bardem both are now confirmed. Btw that music in the trailer is by Danny Elfman is the theme music for all the films as well.

Why does Hollywood want to keep pretending Johnny Depp can still act?? Like all of the stuff about his garbage personality aside, the dude is washed up. And this is coming from someone who basically worshipped the ground the man walked on up until Alice.

Probably will end up being better than the movies.

Universal also sent out briefcases today with goodies...

UMU Looks Inside Dr. Jekyll's Briefcase & Reveals a "Dark Universe"! - Universal Monsters Universe

Read at own risk, that suitcase has a lot of spoilers in regards to the film.

I hope this movie does really well. I so want this monster universe to continue. I'm sad Dracula Untold is not included in The Dark Universe as I thought it was a decent movie. Not the best, but it would've fit in nicely.

I also like The Dark Universe logo and concept.

Dark Universe Will Include Low-Budget Monster Movies from Blumhouse

Its look like Blumhouse is interested in creating new Low budget monster films to complement the big budget monster films or maybe some of the blumhouse films will be added to the classic monsters.



so many practical sets.....

I wouldn't mind seeing Blumhouse tackle low budget updates of some of the lesser-known 1930s Universal horror movies like THE BLACK CAT, THE RAVEN, and THE OLD DARK HOUSE.

Strangely, I could see Blumhouse easily take on The Invisible Man with success.

I don't know why, but I could see that fit well into a low budget while keeping it in-scale with the Monster-verse.

Depends on how effects-heavy they want to take things. If they lean more on the classic approach, and have the character mostly bandaged or fully invisible (with only a few token "unmasking" or transformation sequences), they could make the movie for a price. I suspect, however, they're probably going to end up following more of a HOLLOW MAN sort of approach. A CGI extravaganza.

Johnny Depp is the Invisible Man. That pretty much wipes low budget off the table.

That's a good point, unless they're able to talk him into a really lucrative back-end deal. Otherwise, his up-front quote is many, many millions of dollars.

We also can't discount that it might be a project he really wants to do, and would therefore do it for less than his usual asking price.

Not fully true. He has done some projects for pennies (Yoga Hosers/Tusk). It all depends on the producer/director and if he can get his daughter involved on the film.

The only reason he was in the Kevin Smith films is because he's friends with him in real life.
