The Dark Universe Lumbers On: Bill Condon Talks ‘Bride Of Frankenstein’ Remake Boy, they’re really still going to do this, huh? After the less-than-kind reaction toThe Mummy, featuring Tom Cruise and nothing even close to a coherent script, it seemed as if Universal’sDark Universe– an attempt to turn their classic Monsters characters into the stars of their own MCU – might be DOA. But apparently not! Like an undead creature, the Dark Universe lumbers on, in search of fresh blood....

And sometimes, not even seeing is enough to convince us thatThe Man Who Killed Don Quixoteis a real movie that exists.

This Week In Trailers: Sket, The Boy Mir: Ten Years In Afghanistan, New Kids Nitro, Aliens Vs. Predator Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect.
