While attending the CBS
portion of the TCA's, Collider managed to talk with writer/director/producer, Alex
Kurtzman about a bunch of projects he is currently working on, mainly the
recently announced Monsters Universe, which he will kick off with The Mummy,
and whether or not he would like to involve director Guillermo del Toro with
one of the movies.
Although vaguely, Kutzman did
talk about the future of the Amazing Spider-Man franchise, and its two
spin-offs, Venom and Sinister Six.
"On the cinematic side,
what’s front and center on your plate, right now?
KURTZMAN: Front and
center right now is Chris Morgan and I working on getting The Mummy off
the ground and building up our Monster Universe. That’s where I’m
spending my time. And working with Drew Goddard on Sinister Six.
Guillermo del Toro has always
loved Frankenstein. Would you want to get him involved, in
some way?
KURTZMAN: Nothing would
make us happier. We’re only at the beginning exploratory phase of all of
it, but I’m a crazy huge Guillermo del Toro fan. So, anything he wants to
be involved in, we’d be honored.
What is your big picture view
of the Monster Universe that you’re working on?
KURTZMAN: I think it’s
incredibly important to all of us to start focusing on each movie, and make
each movie great, rather than thinking, “Okay, we want to do The
Avengers next.” If that comes along, it will come along
organically. When I was a kid, going to Universal Studios, which was all
I wanted to do, all the time, there was a show that was all the monsters, and I
loved that show. I was obsessed with Dracula. I was obsessed with
Frankenstein. I was obsessed with the Wolfman. This guy used to get
stretched on a rack, live and in front of the audience. It was so
cool. It’s very exciting. It’s like being a kid in a candy store,
getting to play with all those things again, at the very studio that birthed
these monsters, in the first place. Most importantly, we’re really
wanting to just do each one right. I think the world will come to us, if
we build them correctly.
Is there a lesser one in the
monster pantheon that you’re hoping to make an A-lister?
KURTZMAN: Some monsters
will get their own movie. Other monsters will appear in other movies, as
secondary characters. The balance of that is what we’re working out right
now.
What do you love about the
idea of Sinister Six?
KURTZMAN: I am a crazy
fan of movies like The Wild Bunch or Wages of Fear,
where you’re rooting for the bad guys. I think that’s the opportunity
that Sinister Six has to provide.
Where are you at with The
Amazing Spider-Man 3, in terms of timing?
KURTZMAN: It’s still in
conversation. Everybody is still figuring it out.
So, it’s too soon to say when
we’ll see it?
KURTZMAN: It’s all up
for grabs, right now. We’re just trying to figure it out.
And where will Venom fit
in?
KURTZMAN: Venom will
come after Sinister Six, I think is the plan.
And you’ll direct that?
KURTZMAN: Yeah.
Fans are clamoring for more
female-starring superhero films, and you’ve got Black Cat in that
universe. Is there any chance we could see her?
KURTZMAN: Anything is
possible. We are always looking for opportunities like that. I
can’t say a whole lot about it, but I wouldn’t rule anything out.
