Like Universal’s most recent monster movies, The Invisible Man And Renfieldthis still unknown film, will provide a “unique and new interpretation” of a famous movie monster. In 2017, as known, Universal had announced a cinematic universe based on famous monsters, dubbed “Dark Universe“. However, the first and only film of this has to date been The Mummyinterpreted by Tom Cruise And Sophia Boutella. The plan was to make several interconnected monster movies and the character of the Dr Jekyll (played by Russell Crowe) would appear in every movie, just like Nick Fury in the first film of Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Some of the announced films included a film by Invisible Man with Johnny Depp and a reboot of Bride of Frankenstein with Angelina Jolie And Javier Bardem. However, the critical and commercial failure of The Mummy he has long hushed up those plans. Moving forward, Universal announced that its future monster films would be self-contained. Universal is now busy distributing Renfielda horror comedy with Nicolas Cage as Count Dracula. Given the recent successes achieved by Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett, in company of Barrera, their new project together could also come as a welcome surprise.
