To shreds, you say? And this cinematic universe? To shreds, you say?

Not tied to the Dark Universe, that's dead
Likely going to standalone and most definitely horror, since it's Blumhouse, like the new Invisible Man was
Small budget, hire creative filmmakers and let the concept breathe correctly. It kinda worked for Invisible Man, now execute better with Wolfman. You can do it Universal
The writing was very sloppy, but it was filmed well and the cast did a good job. I wouldn't say garbage but I didn't like it that much
I thought The Invisible Man was a flawed movie with an interesting take on the concept. I'm interested in seeing this vision play out.

Yeah see how with Split i was like "oh wow it cost that little ? damn" here I'm like "yeah sounds about right" ...
I'll see Gosling in basically anything anyway, but considering how averse he's been to doing franchise films in the past, him joining this immediately makes me interested
Only in the sense of creating a new direction for their monster movies. Doesn't seem like this is another Dark Universe attempt.
Damn, 10 years? I'm getting old...Another one??
I wish they used more practical effects in this one, i thought it was alright but the CG was fucking terrible. They even had Rick Baker consulting and still fucked up.
Hmmm, I thought that monsterverse/dark universe idea was deader than Bela Lugosi. Interesting, as I'm currently doing a project with a friend where we'll try to watch all 30+ movies in the Universal monster universe.
It is. Now they're just doing individual movies about the individual monsters.
Honestly? Yeah. The Mummy reboot wasn't that bad and the casting for the rest of the monsters was so good.Bring this back
Ahhh, OK. Personally I would've preferred the shared universe concept though.
To my surprise, I thought The Invisible Man was really good especially using the real life powerful, rich, man in a controlling relationship with a woman and refusing to let her go beneath the horror of it. I look forward to The Wolfman if they can do something as interesting.
How many times is Universal gonna reboot their Monsters franchise and not do a new Creature from the Black Lagoon before the whole thing goes tits up again? Like for fucks sake, we don't need a new Dracula, or Mummy, or Wolfman, etc. They've literally beaten those horses to death to the point that it's no surprise audiences don't really give a shit about them anymore. Invisible Man worked because it was something modern audiences weren't really familiar with. Go back to the Amazon and give people some scary shit they haven't seen before.
Actually, that wasn't even the first time the Dark Universe misfired. Before that, there was Dracula Untold, which they added a Dark Universe tie-in stinger to in post-production... only to pretty much abandon mentioning it anymore on release of the finished product so that The Mummy could be the film that launched it. But then that fizzled too.
Plot twist, that movie with the angry driver was Mr. Hyde all along.Bring this back
WHAT?!
Oh man phew for minute there I was gonna get excited.
I'm assuming they're playing off the fact a gosling is a baby goose.
This could be really good. Aside from the twist with Hopkins' character I actually really liked the 2010 remake. Hopefully they'll use practical effects again this time.
I never realized people actually liked the dark universe, so a couple posts in here surprised me.
Can't say I was one of them though, so I'm on board with this direction. Hopefully, they find a good creative route here.
