Get over it. Girls are scary and funny.

The film will be fine as long as no supernatural adversaries have a fuckhuge CGI mouth.
That ruined all the previous mummy films (even more than CGI dwayne)

>subplot about renegade officer and hard-nosed by-the-book police chief commanding officer who won't let Tom Cruise use his maverick methods because the mayor's got his ass in a vice.
Nope.
This has "World War Z-tier abortion" written all over it.
Hunter Allen
No you're putting the cart before the horse.
The Mummy is the movie that innovated the effect. This is to Mummy what bullet time and that rotating camera trick was to the original Matrix.
The problem with that bit is every fucking cheap ass horror movie has included it since. So yeah, they'll probably put it in.

I want to hold hands with Sofia Boutella, though. I hope it'll be good, just for her. She deserves it.

>Mummy with Tom and qt mummy >Crowe as Jekyll Holy shit they're really doing the monster universe. Fuck the haters. I'll watch the fuck out of that. I dunno, it's just more appealing to me than the capeshit universe which I don't care for at all. I just don't care about guys in tight spandex.
Is Dracula Untold a part of this or is that separate?
Jose Ortiz
The whole thing sounds confusing as fuck. They've stated that they want to keep it actually horror-orientated, but the whole cinematic universe with essentially The Avengers but with Universal monsters simply can't be portrayed scary. Then you have the trailer look more like an action flick, but it doesn't seem humorous, so it just doesn't really make sense to me.
Andrew Hill
Are you too stupid to remember they tried this already with Dracula Untold?
Ethan Walker

Oliver Morales
>female mummy villain DropItLikeItsHot.mp3
Aiden Williams
It's supposed to be a serious action/horror movie with some light doses of levity as action and horror movies are known to have. They're not aiming to make the movies quippy and the monsters aren't supposed to team up to fight a greater evil or whatever.
If they ever do a team-up movie it'll just be monsters trying to fuck over each other and fighting humans.
Nathan Watson
>Tom Cruise fighting a female mummy
I don't know, I'm not really sold on the whole-
>based Crowe as Dr. Jekyll out of nowhere
I'm in
Andrew Bennett
The idea for the monsters cinematic universe started while Dracula Untold was already being made, but they forced reshoots at the end to hint at sequels with an overarching villain. So I think it they were just going to see how the critical/commercial results of the movie was before deciding on whether or not it. Since it flopped, I think they decided not to go with it and I believe I remember someone at Universal saying so in an article.
Eli Collins
Only thing interesting in this movie is Russell Crowe as Dr. Jekyll.
All rest of is shit.

>Is Dracula Untold a part of this or is that separate?
Separated. DRACULA UNTOLD was already in production when Universal greenlit the Monster Cinematic Universe and wasn't planned to be a part of it, but they considered retrofitting it in if the movie was succesful, and even added that epilogue on present day to set it up, but the movie flopped anyway, so it was written off and THE MUMMY is officially launching the series.
Jason Ortiz
WWZ made bank though, don't hate. Was better than the book, too.
Adam Cooper
Are you too stupid that they've been publicly saying that they are building a cinamatic universe starting with a Mummy reboot?
It's not a hypothetical thing, it's been a known fact for awhile now. If this movie succeeds then they're doing it.
Nicholas Ramirez
I don't know anything about that movie's history desu. I just watched and it heard some people here say some stuff here and there. I saw they were making another Dracula movie for this universe tho awhile back, so I dunno if they'll use Untold.
Carson Anderson
>Sofia Boutella as the Mummy. >Russell Crowe as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. >Johnny Depp as the Invisible Man >Dwayne Johnson as the Wolfman. >Javier Bardem as Frankenstein's Monster. >Angelina Jolie as the Bride of Frankenstein. >Dracula and Creature of the Black Lagoon soon.
They're actually doing it, the absolute madmen!
Evan Bell
Who are the monsters going to fight though? Satan? White people?
Ryder Kelly
For the record, the universal classic monsters were as big in their day as Star Wars + Cape films are in the modern age. People underestimate how huge it is.
They were the first films to relentlessly milk merchandising (halloween masks, lunch boxes, toys, etc) and made millions (billions?) back in the day. They rivaled Disney when it came to merchandising. This lasted for decades and they earned more off merchandise than the films themselves.
>Dwayne Johnson as the Wolfman. >Javier Bardem as Frankenstein's Monster
they should switch roles
Cooper Hernandez

Luke Morales
Themselves.
And Van Helsing.
Leo Diaz
going to watch it just for my female villains fetish
Chase Young
Don't worry. I'm sure her backstory will involve some horrible man being the reason she's a killer mummy.
Chase Cook
>The Avengers but with Universal monsters
It worked in the past. They made three films with the full monster roster, plus several more crossover films.
Benjamin Rodriguez
What the hell is this Van Helsing movie then?
Also WHERES YUKIKAZE, TOM?
Robert Cook
Tom was approached for VAN HELSING, but preferred to do THE MUMMY.
Thomas Roberts
Monster movies aren't strictly horror movies, they're a mix of horror, adventure and disaster movies. Think of Fraser's mummy and that's pretty much what a perfect monster movie looks like.
Dominic Adams
The problem is that Frankenstein and Dracula, as well as any of the ones based on literature like Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde, are in the public domain. There is so much stuff out there already that it can't possibly be that profitable. The last Dracula movie and Frankenstein movies didn't do well either, if that's evidence of anything.
Charles Cruz
>a Van Helsing reboot
Fuck sakes Hollywood. Stop this shit.
Jose Myers
God I fucking hate this movie. People love it, but it fucking sucks.
Charles Evans
Universal owns the "look" of the classic monsters, even if their original stories are in public domain.
The new Frankenstein movie will be based on the iconic "bolts in neck, flat head monster". No other studio can legally make anything close to resembling this.
Carter Howard
Script spoilers.
Navy Seal Tyler Colt is stationed in Iraq. During a mission, his unit stumbles upon an old tomb buried in a derelict underground temple and are possessed by supernatural forces that compel them to slaughter each other. Colt survives and, upon touching the tomb, his mind is flooded with visions of a vicious battle in ancient Egypt.
The government covers up the massacre and sends Colt back to the United States, but he remains plagued by nightmares. Years later, he is approached by Colonel Gideon Foster, the leader of a private military company that salvages relics from war-torn countries and seeks Colt's assistance to locate the tomb, which he believes is valuable.
Colt begrudgingly joins Foster's unit and meets his guide, archaeologist Jenny Halsley. Colt and Halsley don't get along. He assists them in locating the tomb, but on the way back to the United States, their plane is caught in a strange storm and redirected to Rome, upon which it is struck by lightning and crash-lands, setting the Mummy free. Colt realizes he is telepathically connected to it.
Colt and Halsley find out the Mummy was a young princess whose kingdom was stolen from her by rivals, and who sold her soul for the power to destroy her enemies, leading the armies of the undead in the slaughter Colt has been dreaming about. In exchange, it is her duty to unleash Hell on Earth.
Colt and Halsley find out that the Mummy is seeking her crown and sword, upon which she will restore her powers and destroy the world, and embark on a dangerous mission to retrieve the objects, which are in posession of wealthy antiques collector Lorenzo Montanari, while also evading Foster, who grows obsessed with the Mummy in its power. Colt and Halsley are aided in their adventure by Malik, a warrior sworn to defend the world from supernatural forces.

Lucas Jackson
Fraiser's character was ex-FFL, besides, they'll probably have some scene where the modern military engages and gets it shit rekt, only for heroic Arabs with swords to come and save everyone.
