I don't really think so. The third one bombed hard.

but the mummy was always a fun wild adventure franchise. it's easy to see what the appeal is. Frankenstein's Bride or whatever. Maybe once I see what they have planned I'll get it but right now I don't see the appeal.

Wasn't Johnson rumored to be the Wolfman.  That would be meta.

 

BTW some of those Abbott and Costello meet the.....films are pretty funny.

Yes he is and I completely forgot about it but if The Dark Universe does fail they could go the comedy route.

The director of Beauty and the Beast who also did a film about the original Frankenstein's director. As well as the possibility of reuniting with Watson who I feel would be perfect for the role.

hmmm. Condon doesn't do much for me. Watson is a horrible actress.

Gods and Monsters is in my opinion his best film so Bride of Frankenstein would be perfect for him.

EMMA WATSON AS THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN?!??!!?

 

 

[Krissykins]

Imagine how little money the Johnny Depp Dark Universe movie will make .

 

 

Anyway, another Summer 2017 movie that won't top Ghostbusters .

Can't say I've seen it. He obviously knows how to make a pretty film I'll give him that

[The Futurist]

Emma Watson should get all the franchises.

I need my Bill Condon Bride of Frankenstein starring Emma Watson. 

You guys need to stop with this hate for the Dark Universe. Even if you didn't like The Mummy there's no need to wish them the worst. A lot of good people are getting employed to make those movies.

[CoolioD1]

gods and monsters is a favourite of mine. and it's got an actually real good performance from top man of the weekend, brendan fraser too.

Nah, Brendan Fraser best role was that heavy metal movie with Sandler and Buscemi.

Please.

I think the Bride of Frankenstein if they have Angelina Jolie may be Dark Universe's first $100M+ domestic grosser or maybe even $150M-$200M.

But why? 

 

MCU,  XCU and DCEU (recently) all seem to be on the right track.

I mean they each individually have some good films. But that doesn't mean I like the idea of a universe. MCU has gotten way out of hand with all this connecting the dots bullshit and I'm pretty done with it
