I'm totally on board with the concept, but I don't see it taking off. Universal has tried this like three times already.BurtReynolds wrote:yupVinylGuy wrote:New thang.

Re: Post Random Movie-Related Thoughts You Have
I would say because they are not making horror movies. All those movies, including this new Mummy are action adventures movies...and pretty lousy ones it seems.

I loved Dracula Untold, and a Cruise-lead Mummy adventure sounds great in theory. But I just don't think these properties generate much interest among modern audience.

Yeah, this is a relaunch/reboot/do-over/mulligan. Only THIS time they're building toward an Avengers style TEAM of monsters!LoathedVermin72 wrote:It was the initial launch attempt, but I think they may have started over.VinylGuy wrote:Dracula Untold is a part of this?LoathedVermin72 wrote:I loved Dracula Untold, and a Cruise-lead Mummy adventure sounds great in theory.

Nobody cares about these monsters anymore. Universal just doesn't get it.
