Pacific Rim Uprising writers had 3 weeks to put a script together. Then their main character had to be removed. He sounds optimistic and positive in the article, but I can't wait for the followup think pieces after it bombs critically and he blames the fact that they only had 3 weeks to write the script and then the main character had to be removed.

drat, I thought this was about a 3rd Pacific Rim film, because I was sure the second one had already come out.

Is she going to be in the Hellboy tv series that's coming out, or is she fighting Ron Perlman in her next movie? Either one would be good news.

Disney blacklisted the LA Times from critic screenings because of an expose on how Disney takes advantage of the city of Anaheim. Several other sites have decided to stop going to press screenings for Disney films in retaliation for the retaliation, including the AVClub and Washington Post

They should make a movie out of the Just Tricking story where Andy takes his neighbour's lawn gnome on vacations with him and sends back photographs of it and postcards for its owner to puzzle over. (She probably knows, and thinks it's adorable)

Producers have abandoned the Dark Universe to its fate, shambling on lifeless with no brain until Universal does another half-hearted entry a few years down the line that they can later deny is part of the Dark Universe.

quote:

Universal's cinematic Dark Universe is in danger of being mummified.

Just five months after Universal released a much-discussed cast photo promising a slew of movies starring the likes of Johnny Depp, Russell Crowe and Javier Bardem — all drawn on characters like the Invisible Man, Wolf Man and Frankenstein in its stable of classic horror films — none of the projects appears to have a pulse.

Writer-producers Alex Kurtzman and Chris Morgan, who were hired as the monster universe architects, have departed the franchise, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. Kurtzman, whose deal with Universal lapsed in September, is focusing on television (he's an executive producer on CBS All Access' Star Trek: Discovery, and his overall deal with CBS involves more than a half-dozen shows), while Morgan has returned to the Fast and Furious franchise and is writing a spinoff for Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham.

In early October, Universal pulled the plug on preproduction that had started in London for Bride of Frankenstein — which was to have followed The Mummy as the second entry in the series — partly because execs felt the script by writer-director Bill Condon wasn't ready. Angelina Jolie had been courted for the lead but is now not attached. Insiders insist Condon (Beauty and the Beast) remains attached, but no date has been set to resume work, and a Feb. 14, 2019, release has been shelved.

All this comes in the wake of Mummy's poor performance. Released in June, the Tom Cruise picture grossed a relatively paltry $409 million worldwide on a budget of $125 million-plus (some insiders place it considerably higher). That doesn't include marketing costs of at least $100 million.

Emblematic of Dark Universe's problems is the tony office building on the Universal lot that was revamped at considerable expense for the new venture. After being decked out in monster regalia, it now sits mostly empty.

That's probably due to Universal wanting to make action movies based off of horror concepts. The fact that they're wanting to bring in Blum (like they'll get him :lol:) tells me that they've shifted from the one trend they're trying to chase (superhero movies) toward a new trend they're trying to chase (smart budget horror). It's still them running around with no idea what they're doing, but at least they're following the proper trend now.
