>“I really want this to bring the same feeling that those old monster movies that I loved growing up watching [did]. I’m not as interested in doing a horror movie as I am in doing a true monster film. So, hopefully that will see the light of day. You never know in Hollywood these days, but I love it. I’m very excited about it. I’m excited about the characters that I’ve created and about some of the ones that I’ve been able bring over from the old movies.”

John Krasinski Vampire movie(Van Helsing?):
>While this must all be taken with a heavy serving of (garlic) salt, according to film scooper and reporter Daniel Richtman, and in a report by HN Entertainment, it was said that John Krasinski plans to write and direct a project “set in the world of vampires.” While it must be said that a film “set in the world of vampires” doesn’t necessarily indicate Van Helsing, it would not be surprising to see Universal want to turn their attention to this property, much like how The Invisible Man was the second film to be announced ahead of The Mummy (2017), and while it didn’t turn out to be the Johnny Depp feature, it still was made.

>invisible woman
Feminist bullshit remake of Invisible Man? Why?

The Mummy was a rudderless ship until Tom Cruise stepped onboard. Suddenly the studio had faith in this "Egyptian seductress mummy?" movie, and the budget shot up, and the romantic lead has to fight to keep her scenes. Now the studio has a film that originally was going to be a modest hit at best and has turned it into a blockbuster summer tentpole but without ever doing the work to make this realistic. Studios keep thinking because they have really advanced second units to handle all aspects of action and 'striking visuals' that they can get unproven directors a chance as long as they've been tangentially connected to the kind of film before, and it keeps blowing up in their faces.

It was good

No, it wasn't.Adrian is dead.

But it made money

Pleb opinion

Neat

Invisible man was great.

>Adrian is dead
Good, he was a simp and I'd rather have a self-contained story with a definite end.

Don't tell me you sided with the bitch

The new mummy was so shitty that sunk the entire dark universe.

Blumhouse.
It will make over 100 milion on a 5 to 10 million budget. Last one made 125 million on a 7 million budget. They're very low risk ventures as blumhouse keeps production costs to less than 10 mil per film.

Universal made an Invisible Woman movie back in the day, so it's nothing new but they would turn it into that, yes.

Dont bother

Uhm.. actually Frankenstein was the scientist

Frankenstein was the monsters we made along the way
