They originally claimed that they would be going back to the franchise’s horror roots, but they also said that it will have action / adventure elements so it’s hard to say. They’ve also been a bit unclear on whether Dracula Untold is part of this new universe or not.

Is this going to be in the same universe as that Dracula Untold movie?
If so then yes, that one was more of a fantasy/action/superhero hybrid.

Are these going to be Action movies like the original Mummy with B. Fraser and movies like Van Helsing with Jackman or Hansel and Gretel: Vampire Hunters??? Because if that’s the case this Universal Reboot might suck some eggs.

I mean the Mummy was cute for awhile but really not memorable. As for Van Helsing and Hansel and Gretel they were complete nonsense and disasters.

Can Universal bring back Horror with some thrills…updating without destroying? Or will these movies be just run of the mill action movies with really no sense of History?

I’d say there’s a pretty good chance a Universal Monsters premium will happen eventually.

Frankenstein’s monster isn’t a villian though, he is a unwitting newborn to be pitied. Can Bardem make the audience sympathetic to his plight? Hmm, to me he looks too smug, but I am excited for such a talented actor to tackle the classic story.

Will Universal’s melange of movies entice the FJ crew to make a couple monster premiums??? Oh, pretty please.
