DARK UNIVERSE: THE MUMMY (June 9, 2017)
>During a raid on a abandoned bunker in Iraq, military officer Tyler Holt (Tom Cruise) accidentally awakens the mummy of a powerful Egyptian priestess (Sofia Boutella), and their minds become connected, affording Holt the power to sense the Mummy's movements. He is then recruited by Brotherhood of the Temple, a secret society sworn to defend humankind from supernatural creatures, to prevent the mummy from unleashing Hell on Earth.
DARK UNIVERSE: THE WOLFMAN (March 30, 2018)
>A young man learns that he is cursed by bloodline to become a monstrous wolfman that preys upon the innocent in the chill of the night. As he attempts to control the beast that dwells within, he must also evade warriors from the Brotherhood of the Temple sworn to destroy him, and a much more ravenous foe that stalks in the shadows.
Ian Parker
They even have their own SHIELD.
Chase Richardson
Are these meant to be in the same universe as Dracula Untold? Because I remember hearing that some of the stuff in that movie was meant to be part of a shared continuity that Universal was developing.
Lucas Howard
>no Brendan
Asher Ortiz
Tom Cruize is a poor man's Brendan Fraser
Dylan Rodriguez
So what will this give me that Penny Dreadful doesn't already?
Dylan Davis
sounds fucking awful, also it's relation to Sup Forums is tenuous at best
Evan Miller
Huh? Is this really a thing? I thought the resounding failure of Dracula Untold had put that idea to rest.
Nathan Ramirez
Spectacle
Matthew Turner
WOW! Look at all this meme people who everyone is already tired of. And more than half can't even act
Aiden Parker
...
Jack Lee
That all sounds like complete shit. >they probably won't even be period pieces fuck this
Owen Baker
>They'll probably join forces to battle a greater evil. What greater evil could they use that's in the public domain or Universals license, thought?
I'm calling aliens.
Or maybe they're absolute madmen and they'll use something from Lovecraft.
Levi Barnes
>implying
It's going to be the "thing" for the next few years just like 3D was after Avatar. It doesn't matter if these flop, they'll just take the pieces and try again, and again, and again for a good half-decade. This is considered a better investment then new IP.
>implying Penny Dreadful doesn't have spectacle on an acting level
Bentley Thomas
>Johnny Depp headlining THE INVISIBLE MAN >hiring a character actor to portray someone invisible Are you kidding?
Gavin Rodriguez
Wasn't Dracula Untold supposed to be this?
Nathaniel Flores
I don't think these studios realize that you need to have at least one or two entries do well first before you can start calling your thing a "cinematic universe".
You plan the universe according to the reception, not to start
Isaiah Miller
No, "Dracula Untold" flopped, so it was disowned.
Josiah Perry
It's the ultimate character performance to play someone that isn't there.
Nicholas Hill
>Period pieces The description of the Mummy says Tom Cruise will be raising bunkers in Iraq, that pretty much confirms "muh zeitgeist"
Michael Morales
>Don't care about >Don't care about >Don't care about >Might be good >Really don't care about >All 4 might be good
Wyatt Russell
It had a pretty nice profit. $217.1 million on a $70 million budget.
Christopher King
>raising bunkers
How does he round them when they're naughty?
Luke Scott
Fucking why.
Luke Cruz
And Brendan Fraser is a poor man
Jacob Jackson
How is this Sup Forums related?
Luis Long
When do we get Key and Peele Meet Frankenstein?
Jaxon Myers
Donde esta Brendon?
Eli Cook
>Even director Stephen Sommers wasn't safe from Fraser's twisted vision.
>"One time I yelled 'CUT' and Brendan turned to me and said 'What if someone just stood in the middle of a courtroom and yelled 'JUST'. Maybe the judges in gowns would forget their trained routine of making me pay alimony.' My jaw hit the floor and it never really came back up. That's when I thought, is he getting in character to play a cuck, or is being a cuck something that's been in him all along?"
>"Sometimes i would go to look into the cameras, and I noticed Brendan had put something in the lens. It was stuff like 'What if my marriage didn't end in divorce? Would my shit still be fucked?' and 'LIGHTS. CAMERA. ALIMONY.' I had to ask him to stop because I was feeling too sorry for him to direct."
William Hall
Don't tell me this is the reason why DC's Dark Universe won't get made.
Alexander Rogers
Sup Forums is the new Sup Forums
Isaiah Torres
They're rebooting the mummy? Again?!
Isaac Lee
Who owns the rights to Mummies Alive? Fox? I'd like to seem them try to movie-reboot that.
Angel Ortiz
>They couln't get Brendan Fraser back.
Ryder Scott
Brendan can't afford internet, so they couldn't contact him.
Ayden Hall
I know the president of the Brendan Fraser fan club so he's got that going for him.
Jace Moore
Sup Forums seriously
Angel Reed
Just watch Penny Dreadful instead.
Brandon King
I can't wait to see how they completely fucking waste my time with another Frankenstein and Dorian plot. Though now that they're intermixed it should be very efficient time wasting.
Ayden Fisher
Oubviously a typo, but I'd imagine he'd threaten to give them out to ISIS if they don't behave.
Dylan Morris
...
Colton Kelly
You appear to be lost freind, I think you're looking for either or maybe
Luke Diaz
>I don't want to post on Sup Forums, did you see that board?
Ayden Brooks
So Dracula Untold is confirmed to be a part of it?
Nathaniel Green
It probably broke even considering domestic is where it counts
Julian Gomez
kek
Asher Adams
This isn't Sup Forums, fuck off you retarded niggers.
Kevin Green
too many monsters for a shared universe
Also they will get super old if by the time they did a crossover movie
John Smith
It's not.
Connor Martin
This is the first time I've ever said this but honestly this is not Sup Forums related at all.
Joshua Bennett
Holy shit this is real, I thought this was some fanfiction-tier shit you just made up on the spot.
Joseph Long
For a minute I forgot this is not Sup Forums
Tyler Gray
Oh so they are gonna do a new Dracula
Isaac Carter
>They'll probably join forces to battle a greater evil. Mountain of Madness movie confirmed?
John Murphy
They will rip off The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Leo Sanchez
Yep.
William Ramirez
They say he will be starring in a Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves re-imagining: Ali's Money
Joshua Thompson
Yes, Drac Untold is part of it. But the changes they made were so minor it probably won't impavt anything anyway.
Man, I cannot fucking WAIT for some of these. Especially Creature.
Nathaniel Richardson
Who wil the creature from the Black Lagoon be raping?
Blake Hill
>more ScarJo I can hardly wait. >unamusedfrog.tiff.exe
Wyatt Perry
I'd watch it
Hudson Nguyen
Hey, you take the sour with the sweet sometimes.
As long as the damn thing gets made.
Cameron Cruz
So they're really serious about this? Seriously?
Any chances of any of these movies actually being any good?
Eli Brown
Well it didn't work as one movie and someone already has the license what do we do now.
Ayden Wood
That photo of Cruise makes it look like he should be the one playing a mummy.
David Rivera
The actors are pretty good.
Then again Alex Kurtzman is their Kevin Feige.
Anthony Sanchez
We're also getting a Hasbro cinematic universe with Transformers, G.I. Joe and Micronauts.
James Rivera
We can only hope.
I really want them to.
Isaiah Thomas
>Robin Hood Cinematic Universe >mfw it's real >mfw Friar Tuck movie
Aaron Murphy
And ROM. And M.A.S.K.
Christian Moore
Well, it certainly has potential.
Connor Powell
why aren't mods doing their fucking job?
Brayden Fisher
If it eventually leads to a Inhumanoids revamp, I'm all for it.
Oliver Reed
that sounds pretty cool
but didnt they try that with dracula untold?
Daniel Ortiz
>>Sup Forums
Easton Foster
>mods
Adrian Lee
Yes. DU is the first movie, until something states otherwise.
Jordan Nelson
...
Christopher Scott
At least if they make a ROM movie the faggots might finally allow reprints of the comics.
Owen Harris
Why are you triggered?
Nolan Miller
I'm hoping IDW will do that soon, since their new ROM series starts in July.
Evan Carter
It has already been stated.
Caleb Carter
>THE INVISIBLE MAN That movie seems interesting to see, if this movie is well written and done right, then I'll look forward watching this flick.
Isaac Howard
Link?
Lincoln White
>Monster Cinematic Universe >Kaiju Cinematic Universe Is this the end of capekino?
Levi Myers
Well at least when there's a believable level of destruction in kaiju movies, autists won't shitpost GODZILLA OF MURDER threads.
Justin Ross
...
Evan Lewis
>During a raid on a abandoned bunker in Iraq, military officer Tyler Holt accidentally awakens the mummy of a powerful Egyptian priestess >Iraq >Egyptian priestess
wut? Also wasn't the mummy supposed to be some Assyrian king?
Christopher Sanchez
>Universal Monsters >Modern Day setting
God dammit
Anthony Watson
That was changed so Tom Cruise can have sexual tension with the Mummy.
Nolan Torres
I believe it
Isaac Clark
Neither title you gave this universe can be given the MCU acronym... Universal's Monsters Shared Universe would be UMSU or MSU
Benjamin Carter
>Monster Cinimatic Universe
Ethan Ortiz
I think they wait for it to cross 100 posts
Chase Reyes
For what purpose.
Tyler Green
Yeah OP didn't mention that in the title. Considering the Marvel CU predates this (New) universe, they'd still have to go with UMCU for Universal's Monster Cinematic Universe. Or MCU 2 as its the 2nd iteration
Kayden Ross
Universal Horror Universe?
Levi Allen
desu I think threads below 100 posts and less number of people reporting it makes it low priority for them
William Powell
Honestly sounds way better, or Universal Monster Universe. But yeah, definitely want "Universal" in there somewhere
