they're trying to imitate marvel but without any of the motivations to do so, those monster don't have anything in common other than the fact that they're monsters
>he doesn't know about Monster Squad
Kys zoomer. This movie was from 80s long before stupid superheroes. If so, Marvel copied them with characters assembly trope.
Fixed it
Is Dracula Untold a part of Dark Universe or no? Where's that Depp from?
A mr. robot spinoff? Cool.
>Dracula Untold
Flop
>The Mummy (2017)
Flop
This cinematic universe bombed harder than DC
>Bridesmaids director Paul Feig
>Ghostbusters 2016 Paul Feig
>This faggot being in charge of a monster movie
Join The Bride Of Frankenstein, The Wolfwoman, La Creatura De' La Blanco Lagoon, and Draculana as they subvert expectations and queef their way through zany misadventures
Dracula Untold isn't, they want another Dracula film, hopefully source-accurate now. About Depp, no idea. It's just a fanmade picture including Phantom of the Opera from 2000s movie.
The Mummy wasn't that bad tho. People exaggerated that hate and all that 'universe building' is hardly noticeable. Few skulls in jars my ass. Really nice action horror with a bit of Mission Impossible feeling. Why did it flop? Is making 400M even considered a flop? If I remember right Mad Max Fury Road or Batman Begins made less than that and they had even higher budgets.
>>Ghostbusters 2016 Paul Feig
Oh fuck.
I hope they are terror movies and not cringe Marvel-like movies
Isn't the invisible man movie being done now?
>Feig the Fembusters Fag to direct Universal's THIRD attempt at a cinematic universe
Now I have to ask if they're trying to fail on purpose.
I agree that previous movies like Van Helsing or Dracula Untold were cringe capeshit-like but The Mummy obviously wanted to be more of a horror/terror movie, even touching necrophilia stuff. Why do people seem to forget that she killed a new born baby and wanted to summon some kind of a demon? It's straight from "true" horror movies and definetly not something you would see in Marvel's cookie cutters. I hope The Invisible Man has balls to do something similar too.
More like Flop Army
they should recast Kevin Bacon as invisible man
He wasn't above rape so he could help make things mature for an adult audience
>Paul Feig
Joss Whedon could make a better monster movie than this mega-hack.
I liked The Mummy because it is like a remake of Lifeforce but it doesn't feel as cheap and schlocky. In addition I loved seeing familiar places like Natural History Museum or ruins in Waverley Abbey. The movie had really nice world building, they even mentioned Crossrail project. Great attention to the details.
Plus Joss has a history of his blockbusters all being financially successes and critically middling, while Paul's blockbusters are all critical and financial flops to the point it's a genuine shock anyone would let him try again.
>It's real
How do you direct Ghostbusters 2016 and then get handed the reigns to write and direct a big budget monster movie? Has Feig just been coasting off the success of Bridesmaids all this time?
...
Something about this pic screams porn parody and I don't know what
A Simple Favor was kino
It's the universal monsters you retard.
Here's how to save this if they still want to make capeshit instead of KINO horror
>Wolfman: Guy gets the curse, turns into the werewolf and goes berserk, gets captured by Prodigium. We're introduced to Old Van Helsing, the leader, Young Van Helsing, his son and main field operator, and Dr Jekyll.
>They're finding a cure for Lycanthropy and hunting down the alpha Werewolf. There's a fight between Hyde and the Wolf Man in the middle for hype. Frankenstein gets shown frozen in ice.
>Wolfman wins but they don't have the cure, so he decides to stay with Prodigium and help them. Post credits is Jekyll showing the place to Wolf, they've become close friends because of the "uncontrollable monster" thing, they stop at a mystery coffin.
>Next up is Invisibile Man. It ends with Griffin getting called by Prodigium. Jekyll will help him on an antidote for his invisibility.
>Bride of Frankenstein is next. Dr Pretorious has found Frankenstein's old research and is continuing it, and at the same time, an accident leads to Mr Hyde releasing the original Monster from ice. Monster finds a blind guy in the woods and learns how to talk and all that. In the end the Monster, now taking it's father's name, confronts the bride and tries to reason with her. Crying when he sees she'll never be anything but a monster, he kills her.
>Back at prodigium, the world goes dark and a castle is reported to have risen in Transylvania.
>Crossover movie: Dracula's back and he's brought the apocalypse with him. Old Van Helsing gets the team together.
>Everyone butts heads at first, especially with Griffin since he's a dick.
>Dracula kills papa Van Helsing. His son is told to open the coffin.
>The original Van Helsing is there, turns he was turned into a vampire aswell.
>Final fight between Dracula and OG Helsing, in all ends in the sunlight. Van Helsing dies with the creature he dedicated his whole life to hunting.
>Phase 2 is set up with Young Van Helsing having to lead and The Mummy as the big bad
Nice!! Paul did nail the scary parts of Ghostbusters reboot!!
Just dr Jekyll standalone horror movie (psychology study but with a bit of gore too - he's slowly becoming a maniac killer) that ends with the creation of Prodigium to restrain his alter ego. One of Dark Universe promo materials had a piece of newspaper talking about mysterious attacks in London. I think it was mr Hyde. I have shitload of promo pics, do you want me to upload them?
It was fun when they did it originally. The problem they have now is that the cinematic landscape that allowed these characters to work in the 30s and 40s has changed so much that they need repackaged and nobody seems to know how.
please do senpai
Okay, it's going to take a while but if you want... Everything has been packed into this briefcase.
Filename is Mummy's release date.
Leather file with Prodigium logo.
There are pictures and letters inside.
these are so neat, where did you get them?
How are executives still giving Paul fag work after the blunder that was Ghostbusters 2016?
My team recieved that briefcase. It was supposed to be Dark Universe promo stuff. Universal prepared several sets but something went wrong and they were never really released.
Enough, the rest gonna be even better.
There's a copy of Jekyll's letter and the map.
I didn't want to shill my page.
The first 4 MCU flicks grossed an average of < $400M and had - aside from Iron Man - utterly mediocre reception. This was at the same time that Batman solo movies were clearing a billion. These other studios are giving up too easy, Marvel didn’t have a real hit until 6 movies in
Anyway since you have that link, there's no point to upload the rest. Here's something extra.
Why not? It's very interesting page.
Good point. Hulk was borderline flop yet they didn't give up. Thor made 400m something too and it was enough to spawn sequels.
