Unfortunately it's in portuguese, here's Google translation:
>“I'll tell you a secret. At the beginning of the project, I had already made storyboards with a male version of The Mummy [in the movie, the Mummy was a woman, played by Sofia Boutella]. And in that version, the Mummy had been born with a problem in the pigmentation of the skin that made him a kind of monster to society. And I thought it was an interesting story because it started telling the story of someone who had been bullied. I was trying to find a way to make the Mummy an understandable character that people would understand the motivations for , ”Kurtzman said in an interview with CinemaBlend.
>He added: “I was going this way, and then I saw the end of X-Men: Days of Future Past. And they finished the movie with that boy, the Apocalypse. And I'm not kidding: he was identical to my storyboard character. So I needed to change that. I had heard that voice in my head for some time to make her a woman and that was the moment when, the minute I saw that post-credit scene, I decided to do it. We started over . ”
They shouldn't start with The Mummy. It would work perfectly as 3rd or 4th in the series because it's a well made movie bogged by studio's ambition. Now imagine having already well-established monster universe and then watching The Mummy. It would be a hit.
Adrian Lopez
still a dumb story
Mason Fisher
Without Boutella and Cruise it wouldn't cross 200M. His previous idea seems awful and it would be a massive flop. Also Universal is fucking retarded, they should fix mistakes and go on. MCU didn't give up after Hulk flopping at the box office. Meanwhile Mummy made slightly less money than 1st Thor but they still killed Dark Universe anyway.

Start with Dracula, then Frankenstein, Wolfman, Mummy, Dracula vs. Frankenstein, Invisible Man, by this time people will have forgotten about The Shape of Water, and then round it off with Dracula vs. The Monsters
Justin Hernandez
first thor was after iron man, which was a runaway success. the die had already been cast.
Gabriel James
Suspicious. Money matters covering for Hollywood power plays and politics.
Jacob Kelly
tom cruise keeps getting cast because sea org will do all of the marketing for free
Ryder Jones
Boutella-Cruise duo made it watchable. Comedy bits fucking sucked and they were out of place. The movie should be much more serious but instead it tried to copy silly shit from 90s with that JUST meme retard.
Kevin James
Imhotep was already an understandable character.
Tyler Walker
Too bad he was just somewhere in the background for like 80% of runtime. Could be replaced by literally any other maniac or kidnapper apart from one scene.
Lincoln Russell
Hulk was after Iron Man and it was a flop. Thor came the next year. Imagine MCU giving up after Hulk failing to cross 300M...
Kevin Morgan
>I was trying to find a way to make the Mummy an understandable character that people would understand the motivations for That's how you ruin your horror movie monster franchise. Relatable monsters are shit.
Aaron Torres
>mummy is En Sabah Nur
Aaron Morgan
LOL He's fucking lying.
Isaac Lewis
Apparently he's not. One of concept arts reminds Apocalypse guy.
>Dracula Satanic undead wizard (as he is in the book) living in a mouldering ruin that has awoken and his spreading its evil across the world in secret, sinister ways. Madmen in asylums babbling about 'the master' and singular outbreaks of strange illnesses. The mastermind behind many things. Movie would adapt Jonathan Harker's journal from Dracula.
>Wolfman A killer blessed with lycanthropy by Dracula, who has been passing the curse down from wolfman to wolfman, slaves to the will of the vampire, a tool of violence that the current wolfman, a paranoid lunatic, is trying to rid himself of. Movie would an investigator looking into a string of brutal killings that go back centuries.
>Frankenstein The creation of an Enlightenment-era alchemist and natural philosopher, a necromantic homunculus that holds the secret of artificial life, a power Dracula seems interested in. The Monster is intelligent but inhuman, and bitter because it knows it is unnatural. Movie would be a cat and mouse chase across Europe.
>The Mummy The wandering Ka of a forgotten sorcerer-Pharaoh that has risen to take Grudge-like vengeance (anyone even vaguely connected is in danger) on those who defiled its tomb. Dracula sees it as a potential rival, wants its power. Movie would have a similar plot to the 1999 one, sans love story, more horror.
>Creature from the Black Lagoon A primal creature guarding the secret of a still-existing pre-human civilization deep within the Amazon rainforest. Another thing Dracula is interested in. Movie would be explorers stumbling across the secret and being hunted by the Creature.
>The Invisible Man A scientist whose experiments led him to half-fall into the Invisible World that permeates our visible material world. He both here and there, invisible to us, but visible to the dwellers of that world, and desperate to make a bargain with the powers of our world for a way back. Movie would be about the scientist's apprentice dealing with his insane mentor.
Nolan Barnes
The Mummy could still be a princess. Universal Monsters badly need females. There's unnamed Bride of Frankenstein only so I'm fine with lady mummy. It reminds me of one old novel about resurrecting a mummy of an ancient queen.
Gabriel Gray
How the FUCK do these headlines leave the editing room?

It sucks that humanity will no longer spend money, time and effort doing gigantic monuments just for the sake of it and or for religious purposes. The closest analogue is dick measuring contests in the Arab Gulf states where they build a big thing and it is a hotel or something. Wonders of the World, just for the sake of it, don't happen. Stone Henge, built purely for the sake of building it alongside religious and cultural reasons. Nothing amazin but for the tech level it was. Then pyramids, then all the things like the Easter Island heads, Taj Mahal and so on. With the tech we have now, we could build some massive cathedrals or whatever, but we don't. Madrid Cathedral took 500 years to build or something.
I wish I was powerful and rich back in ye olde days... would have built some crazy shit. Hanging Gardens of Babylon sadly not being confirmed to have existed 100% makes me sad.
Brody Anderson
here, this is very nice.
Justin Reed
>Start with Dracula they did
Joseph Perez
>It sucks that humanity will no longer spend money, time and effort doing gigantic monuments just for the sake of it and or for religious purposes. Poland did something like this.
What's the story behind her twin eyes? They are amazing but the movie doesn't explain a shit. Is it some kind of egyptian lore?
Isaiah Roberts
>understand That's adorable.
Jayden Price
OP said that it is translated by Google.
Chase Sanchez
>people actually thought the Dark Universe was ever going to take off Fucking kek
I do wish we got more of it though, just so I could see more trainwrecks
Caleb Watson
Considering that they basically invented the concept of shared cinematic universes and movie crossovers in 1940s they should be able to do it now. They really fucked up with marketing. Should focus marketing on upcoming universe so people and critics would be aware of this instead of criticizing it even before the movie came out.
