is a "reboot" of the Monster movie genre. UP is calling it the "Dark Universe" or something. Russell Crowe's character is Dr Jekyll.

It's supposed to be the start of the "Dark Universe" like Dracula: Untold and the I Frankenstein movie before it.

...yeah.

"Dracula Untold" was the start of it, and the Mummy continues it. I thought this was common knowledge.

I'll check, but I'm pretty sure it got phased out of the universe...

The Mummy is the first one

"On October 1, 2014, it was announced that reshoots had taken place shortly after the end of production to tie the film into the planned Dark Universe/Universal Monsters film series.[28] Producer Alissa Phillips hoped that Evans' character might have a cameo in a future The Mummy film and also spoke of a potential sequel to Dracula to reboot the franchise.[29] In an interview with IGN, director Gary Shore stated, "It's optional for them if they want to use it as that launching pad."[30] On October 15, The Hollywood Reporter reported that the ending scenes of the film hinted that the film Dracula Untold could be included into the monsters universe.[21] Since the release of Dracula Untold, however, the connections to the shared universe have been downplayed and The Mummy (2017) has been re-positioned as the first film in the series.[31][32]"

Not my fault they fucking changed it.

Man, I Frankenstein was just bad. Apparently they thought was a good idea to make The monster look like a male model and not actually like it's supposed to look.

Because Universal pioneered the joint universe concept at a time when Robin the Boy Wonder had an autographed copy of a Superman comic.

I feel like the younger generations just aren't going to get what this franchise is going for. I think even up to the early 90s these black and white movies were airing late at night. But anyone who was a kid after that is just going to be lost. You keep hearing Brendan Fraser being brought up, but nobody is mentioning Bela Lugosi or Boris Karloff.

This franchise is going for the cash grab. Nothing more, nothing less.

I am kinda surprised at how little Universal has done with the classic monsters in the past two decades. Aside from Van Helsing and home video re-releases, there hasn't been much. I get that these films were made 80 to 60 years ago, but it still seems like something they should have periodically updated. It's not like people just abandoned Batman and Superman as products of the 1940s.

I'm also saddened that "sexy man slays the tragic monsters" is the only thing they've been able to come up with in this century. It worked so well the last time, let's try it again.

That's a shame. The trailer looked promising -- not as a Universal reboot, but as a standalone film.
