James Wan Is Developing a Universal Monsters Movie!
It’s happening, James Wan is developing a Universal Monsters movie for Dark Universe. Read on…
CelebNMovies247.com has learned that James Wan is working on a new Universal Monsters movie with Robbie Thompson, a co-executive producer on CW’s Supernatural tapped to write the screenplay.
The Conjuring creator has his hands in a ton of different projects at the moment.
With the success of The Invisible Man, which has exceeded box office estimates Universal Pictures seems to be back on track with their Dark Universe.
Once again Universal is looking to revitalize their Dark Universe after all.
The untitled Universal Monsters movie from James Wan will reportedly “take its cues from Universal’s classic monster legacy and shines it through a modern prism.”
What can we expect from the upcoming project?
Sources say the movie has “shades of Disturbia” and the story will “focus on a group of teens who discover that a neighbor is building a monster in his basement.” The mystery monster will undoubtedly bust out and all hell will break loose. Wan will not be behind the camera on the untitled project. He will be a producer under his Atomic Monster banner.
The director has yet to be announced.
Universal Monsters characters include Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, Bride Of Frankenstein, The Wolfman, and Creature from the Black Lagoon.
What is interesting is that James Wan could be dipping into that territory, or he could go into some lesser-known characters like Weird Woman, The Frozen Ghost, Pillow Of Death, and The Mole People.
Hopefully some updates will be announced in the near future.
The Dark Universe with Tom Cruise’s The Mummy FLOPPED so bad that it killed the interconnected universe. Now with Wan involved and following the Blumhouse method of keeping the budget low, money can be made and satisfying stories can be told.
We will keep you posted on the future of the Dark Universe resurfacing.
And if you haven’t seen the Invisible Man you need to. The movie was awesome, great acting, great story and the film has one of the most ingenious killing in horror history. Completely unexpected.
