Universal Monsters Movie Universe

A series of new Universal Monster movies is in the works and the movies will be connected!  Taking a page out of the Marvel movie handbook, a plan is forming to bring a new series of movie monsters to the big screen starting with The Mummy which is slated for June 24, 2015.  Following this on April 21, 2017 another movie is slated.  Among the monster movies being looked at are The Wolfman, Frankenstein, Dracula, The Invisible Man, Bride of Frankenstein and Van Helsing.  It is uncertain how connected these movies will be.  So far Noah Hawley (Fargo TV series), Aaron Guzikowski (Prisoners), Ed Solomon (Men in Black), Chris Morgan (The Fast and the Furious movies) and Alex Kurtzman (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) have all been attached to the project.

When the crew of the Oceanus rescued a man close to death, its captain could barely have guessed at the incredible story that man would come to share.
