You asked me about the Dark Universe, if you’re gonna make a movie of The Mummy, why the fuck do you need Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe?!
Director John Landis says Universal Pictures’ new Dark Universe isn’t being respectful to the studios classic movie monsters of yesteryear.
The Dark Universe, of course, officially kicked off earlier this month with a reboot of The Mummy, which stars Tom Cruise as a soldier of fortune who is cursed by a mummified princess (Sofia Boutella) after her sarcophagus is unearthed after 5,000 years.
I think, y’know, maybe that’s one of the problems with Universal’s Dark Universe is that it isn’t respectful of the monsters.”
