‘Wolfman’: Ryan Gosling To Reunite With Director Derek Cianfrance On Horror Remake
Universal Pictures has been desperate to turn their iconic Universal Monsters characters into a cinematic universe. However, their first attempt to launch the Dark Universe with Tom Cruise‘s “The Mummy,” turned into a disaster when the Alex Kurtzman-director hybrid project doomed that incarnation along with several related projects in the hopper like “Bride of Frankenstein” and the Johnny Depp version of “Invisible Man.” They finally struck gold outside the idea of an “interconnected Monsterverse” with Leigh Whannell‘s “Invisible Man” spearheaded by the horror gurus at Blumhouse Pictures.
