The next Dark Universe movie after The Mummy was supposed to be Bill Condon’s Bride of Frankenstein, with Bardem as a next-gen, grim and gritty Frankenstein’s Monster.
Terrible, tragic news for movie fans today, as Variety reports that the Dark Universe, Universal Pictures’ attempt to turn their classic monster movies into a shared cinematic universe, is dead.
The Dark Universe was less than two years old.
But the death of the Dark Universe at such a young age is just another sign of the sad state of our world.
