Universal's Dark Universe (Monster Universe)

[EVILFACE]

Pffft. How about Creature Commando Private Taylor!!

That's a team DC should make a movie on and include the Blackhawks and Sgt Rock.

You've obviously never seen I, Frankenstein. Sad!

That was horrible, same as the Deniro version, the Van Helsing monster, and the recent Victor Frankenstein film monster. To me Boris Karlof is the definitive monster. I'll even take Herman Munster over any of the other film versions.

Angel Punisher or GTFO!

That series sucked

 

[Victοr]

That series sucked

Sure, but... Angel Punisher vs Gritty Doctor Fate movie when?

Karloff CRUSHED the Mummy and Frank roles. Amazing work.

You can't take them out of context and compare. Especially the "Van Helsing" one (which I actually like a lot) and "I, Frank".

Franky will act like Drax and he will be wise-crakin jokes to entertain everybody

 

[EVILFACE]

So he will be Herman Munster?

And someone will mention his enormous schwanzstucker

That goes without saying.

I just haven't seen a better, more iconic design than the one in the original film. It's timeless and perfect, even though it's not accurate to the novel. Still, all the elements that made the character recognizable come from the movie.

After seeing what Universal is doing with the Mummy, I bet Bardem will look like the novel's monster, which hasn't been done yet in a big studio movie. He'll have yellow translucent skin which shows the veins and muscles, long flowing black hair, and maybe the glowing eyes and black lips since it's very Jokerish and ironically, modern.

Based on money and Universal's certain desire to suck money from our pockets these will be mass market appeal movies. The Mummy looks generic action. Hot girl, Tom Cruise...thus all seems very safe. I expect all of these movies to be aesthetically and thematically quite similar. So I'm expecting quite the deviation from the originals and for it to more closely resemble Van Hellsing. Sadly.

I expect little "Darkness" from Universal Dark.

Penny Dreadful was pretty close

"Warner Bros, owner of DC's Dark Universe comics, is mulling suing Universal for its 'Dark Universe' monster movies."

Man they really are trying to follow Disney on this one.

Anyone seeing The Mummy this Friday? I'm going to a showing tomorrow before I got on my trip.

 

[The Ween]

I'll probably see it next Tuesday.
