Back in 2012, it was announced that writers and producers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman were going to produce remakes of The Mummy and Van Helsing for Universal. After what appeared to be no developing on both projects, Orci reveals that their plans extend beyond just The Mummy and Van Helsing, but to the larger universe of Universal Monsters, which include Dracula, Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Phantom of the Opera, Gill-Man from Creature of the Black Lagoon, Wolf-Man and many others.
In
an interview to IGN, Orci tells:
"There's
an interesting thing that could happen at Universal where they have this
amazing library of their old monsters and these kinds of heroes, and the idea
of trying to create a universe. Van Helsing, and we're also producing The Mummy
for them. We're kind of imagining updating these kinds of things. You don't
want to just make remakes when you're doing a thing, unless it's worthy of
being a remake, but when you have an idea for something that can actually be
made different and yet be true to what it was. We just had a notion of how to
make it modern and have a slightly different tone. It's not going to be just a
remake."
When
asked what is favorite monster is:
"I
love Frankenstein just cause it's such a twisted, complicated monster. A
monster that's not really a monster."
