Free to roam the heavens in man's noble quest to investigate the weirdness of the universe!

What if they turn all these monsters into an urban fantasy series where they all interact with each other and have some inter and intra species politicking? They can call it World of Darkness or something.

Hopefully The Mummy bombs so that the cycle of announcing the next monster movie as the fresh start of a huge franchise gets to continue.

The Mummy is an A-Tier monster, I'm looking forward to when they're scraping the bottom of the C-Tier.

Tom Cruise is definitely playing Van Helsing, right?

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

No, he's playing soldier of fortune Buff McHardcase, his character from the upcoming Mummy.

Probably. Or he could end up being the wolf man.

LOL at how carefully they arranged the photo so that the other dudes weren't towering over Cruise, and even then they probably had to photoshop it.

For reference, Crowe is 5 inches taller than Cruise.

Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.
Tom Cruise is going to be The Mummy and they only took a picture with her in it to trick people into thinking they aren't going to get rid of her in the movie.

If he's going to be fighting monsters in a bunch of movies being a short little dude works in the movies favors and will make the monster boys he fights more imposing, if he doesn't have some kind of "shot at equal height" clause.

quote:

After dramatic negotiation session at the Cannes Film Festival, Netflix has nabbed a film project pairing Grammy winner Rihanna with Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o, in a concept that began as a Twitter sensation. Ava DuVernay (Selma) will direct, and Issa Rae (Insecure) is writing the screenplay.

According to sources, Netflix landed the project in a very aggressive bid, beating out multiple other suitors. Netflix had no comment.

Hmmm...
To be fair, it's probably going to be 4 hours long. And they'll get away with it because 3 hour long movies always break $1 billion world wide. That extra hour will guarantee another 1/3 of a billion.
