Somebody please tell the makers of the new Dark Universe to re-write

I don't know how you can be even slightly interested in this. It's capeshit, but even worse and more desperate

it's dead in the water dude

It's actually the most fun cinematic universe there is
The problem was they started way too late
Should've started it in the Van Helsing era

I think it's heavily implied that Jekyll will be in each movie, as his lab basically has all those monster bits and pieces preserved and quarantined. I think they're idea is that his character and group is what will tie all the movie together.
>Sofia Boutella
Considering how Tom Cruse treated her during filming, she's probably not going to want to do any more mummy roles anytime soon.

Oh let's forget the time Cruise got her on a live interview and explained about her dancing back history and how good she is. Let's forget how happy she is around Cruise.

>>84357633

do you think she's wearing panties under those bandages?

>>84358417

obviously she's putting up a brave front to avoid explaining the bruises around her shins from tom's fists.

Blind gossip is shit, just the other day they said Kate beckinsale was dating a younger man then a trailer came out with the same guy revealing it was a movie role.

You hang around Tom and maybe do cuddling but if he does anything weird to you you're not allowed tell anyone

>>84358729
There was another article online about "why Sofia licked Tom" or something to the effect of that. As if people wouldn't know why a hot girl would be licking someone seductively.

as much as Mummy was mess, it made something it was supposed to - refresh classic monsters. Everyone talks about it, so actual 'refreshing' worked, although now in way they expected.

Dark Universe got unstable, but well-advertised grounds. Their movies may be shitty but still worth to remind them, as originals from 30-40s aged a lot and don't really stand to modern day viewers 'standards'. Don't get me wrong, loved these but they were garbage even at time they arrived. Original "Mummy" was bassically re-skinned "Dracula" set to Egyptian themes. Following mummy movies were shitty too. "Mummy Hand" had great 2nd half, if You survived 1st utterly boring 30 minutes. Sequels (Mumy Tomb, Ghost, Curse etc etc) were literally copy/paste of themself. With all capeshit boom era we see since last decade, i totally understand why they went this way. I guess in next 50 years (or earlier) they reboot these anyway.

btw, I have strange feeling that new "Mummy" may become 'iconic classic' in next 20-30 years. Many now-praised movies meet cold critical and audience response at their times, but grew over to 'cult' status after years.

It's not the right time.
There's no monster craze at the moment.

The Walking Dead and Marvel for example had some kind of momentum.

>>84359588
Yeah.
Two of those movies have nothing to do with The Mummy, which hasn't flopped.

>>84359596
Chill up. I don't like him, Cruise or so. I don't really care about them. Just pointing out few patterns from past. History repeats itself. Take a look at these old shits we praise now. They were bad and railed at their era but now became iconic. Really, lets take a look at "The Thing" movie. Now it is quoted as one of better of it's kind, but they really hated it when came out.

This is just 1 ecample, but I could find more and go on.

>>84355031
Honestly I watched the Mummy expecting some shitty film, and all I got was a regular film, I mean it's not worse than capeshit, however I still don't get how come Dracula Untold was cut off, if basically it can easily be included. But yeah they need to make crossovers instead of stand alone films, because watching Jekyll/Hyde for 5 minutes was boring, it would be more interesting if Buttella Mummy were chasing Tom Cruise, and Hyde were chasing The Mummy, additionally the blonde girl chasing the Mummy and a end-credits scene where the blonde girl reveals she is a Van Helsing descendant.

Last week's episode of Hollywood Handbook hilariously tore this shit to shreds. They savagely mocked Universal for building what is supposed to be a long term film series around a bunch of 50+ year old actors.

The movies are standalone, you're only going to be seeing said actors for that one particular role.

I remember back when Olivia Wilde was still a literally who, she ran a blog about shit she did and would make videos for people where she would basically say hello to them. But then she became popular and the blog got shut down. Then she faded back into obscurity.

It's hilarious seeing young Kat Dennings.

The films are standalone with Jekyll connecting all of them.
Jekyll and his group are basically Torchwood: Monsters Edition Without All the Homo Attached.
They really should have put Jekyll's name somewhere in the title.

doesnt there have to be legit hype behind a universe for people to care?

It's not Ant Man or Black Panther though where literally no one up to that point had ever heard of them outside of a very small group of comic readers. By contrast everyone knows Frankenstein (admitting the wrong character but whatever), Dracula, wolf man, mummy, etc. even if they haven't seen any of the classic universal studios monster movies.

GotG was a pretty unknown and failed comic book, not even comic book fans knew that much about them.

Seriously GotG teams failed hard, both had poor sales although despite having positive reviews.

The movies have been way more succesful than the comic books.

coz deep inside, under layers of shit screenwriting and editing mess there is actually beautifull movie. Definetly one of best mummy movies since decades. Still slose to 1932 original, but swapped and with bit diffrent take on the story. Such a shame it is just overhelmed with useless shits. This definetly needs 'directors cut' or some edit release.
