Yep, that's really what they're calling their new monster cinematic universe...ugh. Although I love a lot of the classic Universal Monster movies and think this new cinmatic universe is a good idea on paper, it feels really forced. Every studio seems to be jumping on the cinematic universe trend and it's unnecessary. It makes more sense for comic book based properties like Marvel and DC to be doing it, but Universal...I don't know. Sure they've done some monster crossover flicks in the past, but a shared universe is harder to pull off. In regards to how the "Dark Universe" is shaping up already, The Mummy looks rather blah and like just another Tom Cruise action flick. Why it's set in modern day too is beyond me as well.
What are your thoughts if any on this?

Javier Bardem as the Frankenstein Monster could be good, but I'm sure they'll fuck that one up too. And the best casting is Johnny Depp as the Invisible Man, but again... they'll likely fuck it up. They also have no idea what to do with Dracula either. I think they wanted to start it with Dracula Untold, but nobody cared for that movie, so they have to reboot their reboot? Fucked if I know...
The originals will always be better.
