bal tabarin ( film )

an appearance at the popular bal tabarin in san francisco won a contract at rko studio , where her name was shortened to ann .
alice guy blache’s film the cabbage fairy is widely regarded as the first narrative film .
here a woman with brown curls and a white , blue , and pink flounced dress dances in the paris nightclub bal tabarin . elements of the work point to current events—the arab riding a camel refers to the turco - italian war of 1911 and flags indicate sentiments of nationalism . in his depiction of bal tabarin the artist merges his interest in capturing the dynamism of motion , shared with fellow futurists , with the integration of text and collage elements , such as sequins , influenced by his study of french cubism .

leger worked with dudley murphy and man ray on the visual ( silent ) film . man ray was an artist and experimental photographer and cinematographer , and murphy a young revolutionary film maker ( danse macabre 1922 ) who went on to make the first feature film with a black cast and star ( bessie smith in st louis blues ( 1929 ) .
this was the first ever feature film ( not just the main film in an evening’s entertainment but at some venues in australia in 1906 the only film to be shown ) . produced by the theatrical entrepreneurs the tait brothers , the film capitalised on the public’s taste for bushranger stories , as evidenced by the success of shorts like bushranging in north queensland ( 1904 ) and the bushranger ( 1904 ) . the eponymous hero and most notorious bush - ranger , ned kelly , had been captured and executed only 25 years previously ( 1880 ) .
but with this smorgasbord of different inventions in the technology of film - making , viewing and projection , what was actually drawing the audiences into the kinetoscope parlours , amusement arcades , and viewing theatres ( no proper ‘cinemas’ until 1904 ) , was the films themselves – often no more than a minute or two long . alice guy blach é was t he first female film director that we know of , and the author of the first narrative film – predating those of lumiere by a few months . it fell to blach é to make the first narrative film – the first attempt to tell a story with motion pictures . although only a minute long , blach é’s film was the first one of several hundred thousand storytelling movies .
by 1898 - 1900 smith had created significant innovations – like the film title , the inter - title , and parallel action – as in santa claus 1898 .
bunuel had met salvador dali and the poet federico garcia lorca at university in madrid . beginning his adult life as a philosopher , he moved to paris and began work as an assistant director , working with jean epstein and josephine baker . in 1929 , he developed a short film le chien andalou ( the andalusian dog ) with salvador dali . this became the most famous film of the surrealist movement , and vastly influential in the world of experimental film . so in 1929 you have two major seminal works : from vertov and bunuel .
i found the music of ballet mecanique so inspiring i incorporated in my film zeiteye – which features 11 decades of media - arts innovations in 11 minutes , set to antheil’s iconic composition .
the history of experimental film is therefor heavily weighted towards the early experiments – simply , there was much more to innovate and invent then ! so what we take for granted as devices ‘natural’ to film – the edit , the flashback , intercut parallel stories , the closeup , medium close - up , long - shot , positioning or location shot , the pan , tracking , back - projection , double - exposure , special effects – all these techniques had to be ‘invented’ by the early film - makers , and this has justifiably made these men and women famous .
kahn’s project lasted from 1909 to 1930 . he commissioned hundreds of photographers , gave them cameras and colour film ( autochrome ) and they created and collected 72000 colour photographs from over 50 countries .
a onetime childhood dance prodigy , she reached the peak of her film career at mgm in the late 1940s and early ’50s with “on the town , ” “easter parade” and “kiss me kate . ”
in france , georges melies , the great experimental film - maker , had also enjoyed a background in music hall and variety theatre – as a magician . this was an ideal background for his work with cinematic special effects . voyage to the moon ( 1902 ) is his masterpiece – the first science - fiction film – and a catalogue of innovative effects , stage designs and cinematic story - telling .
but recently the complexity of the story of the invention of the motion picture has become apparent . after nearly a century of necessary preliminary inventions , including various toys that provided the illusion of a motion picture ( like the thaumatrope ) , the magic lantern , photography itself , flip - books , cameras that could take successive images on paper , the invention of celluloid film and then film strips , film - projectors ( etc ) . by the last decade of the 19th century , all these ‘preliminary’ inventions werre in place , and several dozen inventors , working largely on their own , competed to produce a viable motion - picture system .
her first film at rko , “new faces of 1937 , ” featured her dancing . she next played an acting hopeful in “stage door , ” with katharine hepburn , ginger rogers , lucille ball and eve arden .
the popularity of musicals declined in the 1950s , and her film career ended in 1956 . miller remained active in television and the theater , dancing and belting songs on broadway in “hello , dolly” and “mame . ”
this is the first ever feature film . it was a box - office success in both australia and england , and spawned several imitations , and indeed was remade or partially remade by the tait brothers in 1910 .
leger was already an established and successful ‘post - cubist’ painter at the time he collaborated with american film - maker dudley murphy and composer george antheil on maybe one of the first ‘art’ movies – the ballet mecanique .
of course these machines only had an audience of one , so it wasn’t long before edison was developing a film camera and projector system – one machine could reach audiences of a few hundred ! in 1896 edison launched first the vitascope then the kinetoscope projector .
a hundred years later , working at the new york institute of technology , nancy burson developed sophisticated computer - graphic layering techniques to create composite portraits . by averaging dozens of photographs of models , film - stars , great society beauties ( etc ) can you create the portrait of a type of person ?
in the climate of dada , and the vibrant russian constructivist arts emerging from the civil war ( 1917 - 1922 ) ruttman , richter and other artists began to experiment with abstract animations . these short films set the tone for a wave of 1920s experimental films that have become collectively known as avant - garde film .
of course there are many other experimental films still of interest from the 1920s . it was the decade in which the artist’s film – the experimental film – came alive . and they weren’t just ‘films’ in the narrative style that had become major box office – they weren’t just films that told stories , or ‘remediated’ older media like the play , or the novel . a classic example from this period is marcel duchamp’s anemic cinema ( 1926 ) – working with man ray and others , duchamp began to explore the same territory as laslo moholy nagy and hirschfield - mack ( we’ll look at their work a bit later in this talk ) – building machines that would make films…
miller’s legs , pretty face and fast tapping ( she claimed the record of 500 taps a minute ) earned her jobs in vaudeville and night clubs when she first came to hollywood . she adopted the stage name of anne miller . her early film career included working as a child extra in films and as a chorus girl in a minor musical , “the devil on horseback . ”
the other main contenders for the invention of the movies were august and louis lumiere , with their combined camera - projector launched in 1895 . their ingenious invention was commercially supported by a range of films shot by themselves ( including the famous arrival of a train at la ciotat ) , as well as talented new directors , including the first woman film director alice guy blach é :
it’s inspiring of course , because it is the first ever feature film ( predating d . w . griffiths’ birth of a nation ( 1915 ) by almost a decade , and a year before the first european feature l’enfant prodigue ( michel carre 1907 ) . coincidentally , the first westerns shot in the real wild west , were made in the usa the following year – bushrangers , bandits and outlaws fuelled the public taste for screened entertainment .
ballet mecanique was a unique and influential experiment , though due both to technical reasons ( synchronised sound wasn’t available until 1929 - 30 ) , and artistic - personal reasons , the film was not married to its sound - track until the late 1990s . antheil’s music is an iconic modernist piece – at one and the same time , very much of its time , but using sound samples and audio - trouve techniques more familiar to the digital age . it must have seemed incomprehensible at the time…
george albert smith , like georges melies , came from a theatrical , music - hall background ( as a hypnotist ) , running his own stage - show with his wife , a professional music - hall entertainer and actress , who appears in several of his films . smith began by showing magic lantern slides as part of his stage - show , amplifying these with live performance and narration ( and presumedly smoke , mirrors , lighting effects and music and sound effects ) , before experimenting by transferring these skills and techniques to film - making .
so during this fascinating period of transformative developments in the arts , sciences and communications and entertainment media ( arts : cubism , futurism , fauvism ; sciences : quantum theory , relativity , psychology ; technology : wireless telegraphy and voice radio , theory of television , colour printing , electric typewriter , telephone , ( etc ) ; entertainment : film , mutoscope , cylinder and disc record players ; juke - box , colour photography , brownie snapshot camera , etc ) ) there is a parallel between the innovation in media technologies and the innovation of artists , directors and entrepreneurs ( producers , impresarios , show - men , arcade owners ) who were developing commercial content for these technologies .
dziga vertov man with a movie camera 1929 urltoken this is vertov’s masterpiece , following his epic one sixth of the world ( 1926 ) , and his work on the agit kino trains with alexander medvedkin during the russian civil war ( 1917 - 1922 – the period central to pasternak’s dr zhivago ) , and his work on kino - pravda – ( movie - truth ) in the early 1920s . the man with a movie camera is ‘an experiment in cinematic communication’ – ‘without the help of intertitles , without the help of a story , without the help of theatre , ” it is a film that attempts to create a truly international , purely cinematic experience… the ‘author - supervisor - experimenter’ is david abelevich kaufmann , aka dziga vertov . luis bunuel : le chien andalou 1929

ann miller , the raven - haired , long - legged actress and dancer whose machine - gun taps won her stardom during the golden age of movie musicals , died thursday of lung cancer . she was 81 .
miller died at cedars - sinai medical center , said esme chandlee , her longtime friend and former publicist .
she remained a dazzling tapper in her 60s and earned millions on broadway and touring with mickey rooney in “sugar babies , ” a razzmatazz tribute to the era of burlesque .
“at mgm , i always played the second feminine lead ; i was never the star in films , ” she once recalled . “i was the brassy , good - hearted showgirl . i never really had my big moment on the screen .
“‘sugar babies’ gave me the stardom that my soul kind of yearned for . ”
most of her rko films were low - budget musicals and comedies . a contract at columbia pictures started impressively with the role of the would - be ballerina in frank capra’s oscar - winning “you can’t take it with you . ”
then she was cast in a series of wartime b musicals with titles like “true to the army , ” “priorities on parade” and “hey rookie . ”
when cyd charisse broke a leg before starting “easter parade” at mgm with fred astaire , miller replaced her . that led to an mgm contract and her most enduring work .
she was teamed with gene kelly and frank sinatra in “on the town , ” red skelton in “watch the birdie , ” and bob fosse in “kiss me kate . ”
‘ lonely life’ other mgm films included : “texas carnival , ” “lovely to look at , ” “small town girl , ” “deep in my heart , ” “hit the deck” and “the opposite sex . ”
in later years , she astounded audiences in new york , las vegas and on the road with her dynamic tapping in “sugar babies” when she was in her 60s . in 1990 , she commented that “sugar babies” had made her financially independent .
before each performance ( 1 , 700 on broadway ) , she practiced for an hour .
“honestly , i have had to live like a high priestess in this show , ” she remarked in a 1984 interview . “it is a very , very lonely life . when you work the way i work — that means hard — there’s no time for play . ”
she was born johnnie lucille collier in chireno , texas , the first name dictated by her father , who had wanted a boy . after her parents divorced , she was called annie , for reasons she never knew .

“the measure of an artist’s originality , put in its simplest terms . is the extent to which his selective emphasis deviates from the conventional norm , and establishes new standards of relevance . all great innovations which inaugerate a new era , movement or school , consist in sudden shifts of a previously neglected aspect of experience , some blacked - out range of the existential spectrum . the decisive turning - points in the history of every art form…uncover what has already been there : they are “revolutionary” , that is destructive and constructive , they compel us to revalue our values and impose new sets of rules on the eternal game . ”
“ ( ettiene - jules ) marey made it possible for the avant - garde to become receptive to new values : instead of escape into the past , the unreal or the dream , there was the double cult of machines and their propulsion … . inspiring giacomo balla & luigi russolo , marinetti , and ultimately duchamp ( 1912 nude decending a staircase )
credit for the invention of motion pictures is usually given to the american thomas alva edison ( 1891 ) , or to the french brothers auguste and louis lumiere ( 1895 ) . the lumiere brothers have the best claim because their technology used a camera - projector technology that produced a projected image for an audience of many people , while edison’s first machine was a ‘peep - show’ machine .
louis le prince was french , and later worked in england and the usa . as a child he spent time with his father’s friend jacques louis mande daguerre who in the 1830s had perfected the first positive photographic system the daguerrotype . so le prince learned about chemistry , cameras , lenses , and the art of photography from one of the great inventors . ( daguerre had made his own name initially by the production of large scale dioramas ( 360 - degree panoramas ) – huge paintings on canvas that were mounted in specially built circular pavilions , and showed famous city - scapes , battle - scenes or notable countryside vistas )
louis le prince went on the study painting in paris , and chemistry in leipzig . he went to leeds in 1866 where he married an artist and with his wife’s brother set up a company specialising in printing coloured images onto metals and ceramics , they also founded leeds technical school of art . in the early 1880s , le prince first worked on a 16 - lens camera in an attempt to make a motion picture , by exposing a sensitised sheet of paper – one frame per lens , but the results were jerky as each lens was taking an image from a slightly different perspective . then le prince made a single lens camera , shooting onto a strip of sensitised paper 90mm wide and 1 . 2 metres long ( very short movies ! ) .
georges demeny worked with etienne - jules marey on his chrono - photographes , and then in 1892 devised his photophone for taking motion images and his phonoscope for projecting them .
photography was spurring innovation in other directions too – both hp bowditch and darwin’s cousin francis galton , who was mainly interested in research into faces , and whether facial features could reveal anything of the inner psychology or character of the sitter ( he made many composites of criminal types ) – both bowditch and galton produced studies or composition images ( over - printed or sandwich - printed ) portraits , where several negatives would be printed onto one sensitised plate .
these were still images formed from overprinting 12 negatives in order to produce an ‘archetypal’ or average image ( centre ) for a doctor .
original ‘types’ are called ur - types or archetypes , and i guess burson had the same fascination as galton and bowditch in trying to discover the ur - type ‘holy man’ or avatar . this is a fascinating area of research . have you ever wondered where we get our mental image of christ , buddha or mohammed ? historically there are no contemporary portraits that we know of , so where do these pervasive images come from ? they recur throughout recent history as artists and illustrators tackle the mythological – look at the commonalities in pictures of fairies and elves and other mythological creatures . what souces do illustrators and artists draw from ? how do they assess the verisimilitude of their pictures ?
wulz was a late - futurist artist – she met marinetti in 1931 . by this time the futurists were aligning behind mussolini’s fascist . a very beautiful woman , she made a variety of futurist photographs using multiple exposures , photodynamic long exposures , and she was a very proficient conventional photographer too – running her father’s studio in trieste . but wanda and her sister marion also flirted with surrealism . in this double - exposure , wanda has retained a human eye – her own . she also made a portrait of her cat again with her own left eye superimposed on the cat’s .
of course artists and experimental photographers – like duchamp , man ray , moholy nagy , dziga vertov – had experimented with multiple exposure composites or ‘sandwich printing’ . the discovery of how photography could be a flexible tool for compositing images together , had been shaired by mid victorian photographers like henry peach - robinson and oscar rejlander .
oscar rejlander : two ways of life 1857 – the kindly father shows his sons the rewards of the life of vice and a life of virtue . a composite of 32 separate negatives were used to create this , ( at that time ) a really large photograph – 41cm x 79 cm – one of the first great examples of multiple - printing .
muybridge : test - track for the leland stanford - funded horse locomotion photographs – 24 cameras , 24 trip - wires = 24 photographs of each stage of a horse’s locomotion .
muybridge , another great media innovator from this period had started to animate drawings based on his chronological photographs in a device based upon a magic lantern that he called the zoopraxiscope ( from 1893 ) .
and he built his own filming studio with glass roof , proscenium stage , barn doors for extra daylight . and as noted , i n 1897 smith invented and patented a double - exposure technique in 1897 , enabling him to produce ‘frame - in - frame’ parallel action sequences .
between them , these early pioneers ( george albert smith , rw paul , georges melies , edwin s . porter ( and others ) invented most of the basic grammar and syntax of the motion picture , including : the close - up , the double - exposure , stop motion , elapsed time , hand - colouring , editing shots into sequences , parallel action , titles and inter - titles , prosthetic make - up , and much more that would become the building - blocks of the major art and entertainment form of the 20th century .
the paris world exposition in 1900 was the launchpad for a number of innovations and continued an artistic obsession which re - occurs throughout the history of media developments from greek theatre , through wagnerian opera , victorian dioramas and the ballets russes , – it was the interest in making immersive multimedia experiences . wagner christened this the gesampkunstwerk or ‘composite art work’ . grimoin - sanson’s fabulous cineorama was shown at the paris exposition in 1900 and was a brave attempt to create a 360 - degree simulation of a balloon flight over paris , using 10 synchronised 70mm projectors…
during this same period , the lumiere brothers were experimenting with a colour photography technique that they called autochrome ( patented in 1903 ) . this produced beautiful , soft - coloured images , the soft colour coming from the microscopic potato - starch partlcles that had been dyed with three primary colours – red - orange , green and blue - violet , then randomly mixed onto a paper substrate , coated with a lamp black background , then covered with a pan - chromatic photo - sensitive solution .
these 3 additive primary colours had been identified in the young - helmholtz - maxwell theory of trichromatic vision in 1861 – which analysed the light - sensitive rods and cones in the eye , and determined that they were sensitive to red , green and blue and that all other colours were made by mixing rgb values .
renoir and the impressionists began to explore the the nature of vision in the light of the young - helmholtz - maxwell theory of colour vision , often using a pointillist brush - mark – dots of pure colour – to create their subtle paintings . so trichromatic printing , the autochrome colour photograph , and the pointillist painting shared some features in common , all being derived from the same theory .
stereo viewers had been invented by charles wheatstone in the 1850s , and a spate of stereo cameras became available soon after . when kodak launched its stereo brownie camera around 1904 , stereo photography became widespread . the brilliant 20th century photographer jacques henri lartigue ( diary of a century , 1970 ) , made most of his early work in the stereo format .
charles wheatstone ( who had previously invented a telegraph system ) proposed his theory of stereo vision in 1838 . by 1851 , stereo - cameras and viewers like this one were available .
maxwell’s 1855 suggestion and this seriously defective 1861 demonstration appear to have been quickly and completely forgotten until being brought to light again in the 1890s . in the intervening decades , the basic concept was independently re - invented by several people . ” ( wikipedia )
“the mutoscope worked on the same principle as the “flip book . ” the individual image frames were conventional black - and - white , silver - based photographic prints on tough , flexible opaque cards . rather than being bound into a booklet , the cards were attached to a circular core , rather like a huge rolodex . a reel typically held about 850 cards , giving a viewing time of about a minute . the reel with cards attached had a total diameter of about ten inches ( 25 cm ) ; the individual cards had dimensions of about 2 - 3 / 4″ x 1 - 7 / 8″ ( 7 cm x 4 . 75 cm ) .
mutoscopes were coin - operated . the patron viewed the cards through a single lens enclosed by a hood , similar to the viewing hood of a stereoscope . the cards were generally lit electrically , but the reel was driven by means of a geared - down hand crank . each machine held only a single reel and was dedicated to the presentation of a single short subject , described by a poster affixed to the machine . ”
the highly successful mutoscope ( still in amusement arcades in the uk until decimalisation in 1970 ) , and edison’s profitable kinetoscope , followed in a long tradition of toys like the thaumatrope and joseph plateau’s phenakistoscope as individual viewing machines in parlours , amusement arcades and fair - grounds around the uk .
matisse was a most important contemporary of picasso – his style of painting extended the impressionist idea of colour into a much more expressive territory – this style of painting was called fauvist ( like a wild beast ) by its detractors .
just another flavour of how the 20th century media - arts were developing around the same time as cubism and fauvism – peter behrens was a german artist who became the world’s first ‘industrial’ designer , and in 1906 he created a wide range of products , including electric lamps , electric clocks , and other products for the german electrical supplier aeg . in doing this , he also created the world’s first ‘corporate identity’ – a complete branding system for aeg , all their products , their factories , livery , etc…
all this activity – new art movements ( futurism , fauvism , post - impressionism , vorticism etc ) , new ways of looking at the world ( cubism , special relativity , the movies , animation etc ) , industrial design – all these things were happening at the same time as the invention of radio telegraph ( marconi ) , voice - radio transmission ( fessender ) , half - tone photo - reproduction , trichromatic printing , the autochrome colour photograph , electric typewriter… all these innovations and inventions in art and science and technology began to create a world that is a kind of preview of our own times . consider how the www ( 1993 ) , ipod ( 2001 ) , iphone ( 2007 ) , ipad ( 2010 ) , ps2 ( 2000 ) , x - box ( 2001 ) , hdtv ( 2004 ) , itunes ( 2003 ) , movie special effects , e - books ( 2007 ) , facebook ( 2004 ) , and the rest have altered our world in just a few years…
the directors , including georges melies , alice guy blache , charles tait , louis feuillade , george albert smith , eric porter , and rw paul invented the movies as much as edison , lumiere and the others that we have mentioned invented the technology of the movies .
the remainder of this talk illustrates just some of these developments in form and content that characterised the period up to around 1915 – the period of the invention of cinema .
campbell swinton’s visionary article in scientific american of 1908 is the first ever description of an electronic television – he calls it ‘distant electronic vision’ which , after baird’s abortive attempt at an electro - mechanical television system , became the only way that tv works . . until the digital revolution removed the need for the cathode ray tube .
“this part of the problem of obtaining distant electric vision can probably be solved by the employment of two beams of kathode rays ( one at the transmitting and one at the receiving station ) synchronously deflected by the varying fields of two electromagnets placed at right angles to one another and energised by two alternating electric currents of widely different frequencies , so that the moving extremities of the two beams are caused to sweep simultaneously over the whole of the required surface within the one - tenth of a second necessary to take advantage of visual persistence . ” - a . a . campbell swinton in scientific american
ballets russes were another epic attempt to create a composite or total art work , after the gesamptkunstwerk ideal described by wagner 50 years earlier .
working directly for czar nicholas , prokudin - gorsky tried to document every aspect and region of the imperial russian empire – stretching from the baltic to the pacific , and the arctic to azerbajan , with beautiful autochrome - style colour photographs – a project nearly as grand in concept as albert kahn’s planetary archive – began the previous year .
winsor mccay created animated films and stage performances , where he would tell a little nemo story , illustrating it with drawings , clips of previously made animations , and live drawing .
mccay stands out above all other comic artists , for his delightful and quintessential art nouveau drawing and colouring , but it is the imaginative animation that inspires . like norman mclaren some 30 years later , mccay is not afraid to improvise and innovate . in little nemo , he combines frame - by - frame drawing , live drawing to camera , live action , colour and captioning – mixing these styles to both capture the magic of animation , and hinting at his stage performances to be developed fully in 1914 with his gertie the dinosaur shows . the breakdown of the audiences’ cognitive framework – their suspension of disbelief – by revealing the technique of the animator and illustrator , is mccay’s original contribution to the history of animation .
photography was still under the spell of marey and muybridge , and the futurists welcomed this opportunity to exploit motion blur , multiple exposure and chrono - photography to create images with motion .
in a series of works initiated by the city of paris , robert delaunay began to use painting as a compositing tool , drawing together and synthesising visual components derived from his own paintings and sketches from nature , postcards , newspaper images and the works of other painters , developing a cubist - derived style to integrate these fragments together in works that are still fresh and new . in city of paris , you can detect fragments of his own eiffel tower ( the red tower 1910 ) some cityscape by henri rousseau , and the classical three graces . this approach is revolutionary in modernist painting , though some victorian artists had explored the compositing idea some 50 years before ( see william powell frith derby day 1858 ) , and so too had photographers in the 19th century – see aaron scharf : art and photography ( 1967 )
the main strands of avant - garde art during this period affected music too – alexandr scriabin composed his prometheus for instruments and coloured lights , russolo – another futurist – developed his theory of the art of noise – and put this theory into practice with his ‘ mechanical orchestra ’ .
the surrealists were also vastly impressed and influenced by the serial films of louis feuillade : fantomas ( 1913 ) , les vampires ( 1915 ) , judex ( 1916 ) – these were serials – 10 , 12 , or 13 part - films , each around 25 minutes long , magical and fantastic crime thrillers ( the vampires are a gang of thieves and murderers , who invent ingenious crimes ) . most , if not all of these films are available on youtube .
the jugs , crockery and bottles in an hotel room come alive after dark in the haunted hotel , and they are joined by a tiny comedia del’arte mannequin . this is an early stop - motion animation .
florey was a franco - american who directed many hollywood movies including murders in the rue morgue . you can see from the still above that he was influenced by robert weine’s cabinet of dr caligari , and his aptitude for interesting shorts in the 1920s probably stemmed from his work as an assistant to louis feuillade in the early part of the century .
duchamp had become famous with his nude descending a staircase ( 1912 ) , and his giant construction – the ‘large glass’ – the bride stripped bare by her bachelors , even . ( 1923 )

but the name dark universe could prove problematic for universal . warner bros . already has plans for the title with a supernatural - themed justice league movie and a series of announced comic books branded under the dark universe banner . warners is mulling legal action , according to a studio source .
this weekend , “ the mummy ” inaugurates universal pictures’ dark universe , a streak of films centered on famous monsters that first appeared onscreen in the 1920s and ‘30s . but the studio didn’t even wait for the tom cruise spectacle to find success before moving forward with its dark universe initiative .

5 . bassam shakhashiri the head of the nsf education directorate , which funded a private universe in 1981 , used the film to rebuild federal support for science education .
the first instalment in universal pictures’ dark universe series , the mummy , was shot on location in namibia , london and surrey . the film’s opening scenes were shot in and around the coastal city of swakopmund , which was doubled for egypt and iraq .
in a new interview with fandom , kurtzman casually added a few additional titles to the dark universe queue : “dracula , ” “frankenstein , ” “phantom of the opera” and “the hunchback of notre dame . ” especially notable : “phantom of the opera” and “the hunchback of notre dame” had not yet been mentioned among chatter about the dark universe’s development . meanwhile , “dracula untold , ” the 2014 fantasy starring luke evans , was originally intended to kick off the dark universe , but universal has since sidelined that film as a standalone , opting to launch the sequence with “the mummy” instead .
i feel like i’ve been hearing about the film and television adaptations of this series for a while .
kurtzman , the writer behind the transformers and rebooted star trek film series , is a key architect of the universe as a producer , and also worked on the story for the mummy .
universal pictures has been talking up its interconnected universe of monster movies for a few years now . with the first entry , the mummy , arriving on june 9th , the studio has today given the universe a name and announced the next film in the planned franchise .
however , the most interesting thing to note from a new article about the creation of dark universe is that not every film will be a giant tentpole release . in fact , a producer who specializes in low - budget horror wants to take a stab at one of the movies .
the high - stakes blockbuster arrives with so - so tracking as tom cruise leads a risky foray into the
dark universe ,
a superhero - style series of interconnected films .
the “modern woman in a very classic tale” is a bit of a tease for bride of frankenstein while the “danny” langley refers to is in fact composer danny elfman . elfman wrote the main dark universe theme , which was revealed in a sizzle reel featuring clips from the classic universal monster films and the unveiling of the dark universe logo . check it out below .
the film from director alex kurtzman is launching dark universe , based on universal ' s monsters . universal has a number of films in the works , with bride of frankenstein up next in 2019 . stars attached to the universe include tom cruise ( the mummy ' s nick morton ) , johnny depp ( the invisible man ) , javier bardem ( frankenstein’s monster ) , and russell crowe , whose dr . jekyll is introduced in the mummy and will be a linchpin to the universe .
originally intended to launch with 2014 ' s dracula untold , development of the dark universe was postponed when that film underperformed . it instead began with 2017 ' s the mummy reboot , starring tom cruise as canon foreigner nick morton , russell crowe as dr . jekyll , and sofia boutella as the titular mummy .
universal pictures’ long - discussed plans for a shared cinematic universe reviving its classic movie monsters got off to a shaky start in with the mummy , which arrived in june to negative reviews and a disappointing worldwide box office of $ 397 . 6 million . now alex kurtzman , the film’s director and one of the architects of the dark universe , is casting doubt on his own future with the franchise .
universal ' s bigger issue comes from its lack of memorable , beloved protagonists to stitch such a cinematic universe together . sure , a high - budget monster - versus - monster film could have fun , silly moments , but the current contenders for
best cinematic universe
( as in , marvel ,
not exactly . people are describing the dark tower as a sequel or continuation of the entire novel series .
asked whether he’s still involved with the dark universe , kurtzman told ign , “you know the truth is , i don’t know . i really don’t know . i haven’t really decided is the honest answer . ”
the first great movie character universe was a vision of carl laemmle jr . ' s ,
says sean daniel , who produced this mummy and the last three .
so creating this dark universe brand and bringing back these characters makes sense . done right , people will always love monster movies .
the mummy premieres today in uk cinemas nationwide . the film stars tom cruise , sofia boutella , annabelle wallis and courtney b vance .
the trailer for the dark tower dropped early this morning , giving us our first glimpse of the long - awaited adaptation of stephen king’s epic series . but this film isn’t your typical adaptation , where the movie is largely based on the novel . this movie is actually a kind of sequel to the entire series , and there are bigger plans beyond just a film franchise for the story .
a dark force threatens alpha , a vast metropolis and home to species from a thousand planets . special operatives valerian and laureline must race to identify the marauding menace and safeguard not just alpha , but the future of the universe .

the movies will collectively be known as the dark universe , and the bride of frankenstein is set to follow the mummy on february 14th , 2019 . that film will star javier badem as frankenstein’s creation , though no casting has been confirmed for the titular monster . bill condon ( beauty and the beast , dreamgirls ) will direct from a script by david koepp ( spider - man , mission : impossible ) . it looks set to be more of a gothic romance as opposed to the blockbuster action film that is the mummy .
with “the mummy , ” starring tom cruise and sofia boutella , releasing this weekend , universal is officially kicking off its “dark universe . ” though reviews for “the mummy” have been unfavorable and box office tracking is far from through the roof , the studio hasn’t said it will slow down on its planned monster universe . the films will mine [ … ]
3 . irwin shapiro the former head of the harvard - smithsonian center for astrophysics reminisces about his role in getting harvard to sign off on the film .
how much do you think the reception to the mummy will affect plans going forward ? the studio is said to be considering a range of budgets for the dark universe , so there ' s potentially a lot of variety there for these monsters movies .
it remains to be seen whether this series will follow the modern
cinematic universe
model as codified by the marvel cinematic universe or blend closer to the original as it goes on . the first film seemed like it swung more modern but given because of that performance the second has been delayed to rework the script , that might change in order to allow bride of frankenstein to roll along .
the dark tower is close , now . the crimson king awaits . soon roland will raise the horn of eld . and blow . urltoken
another interesting tidbit involves warner bros . , who aren’t happy with universal’s chosen name for their cinematic universe . when i initially wrote about the dark universe reveal , i joked that wb probably wasn’t going to be happy because that was also the working title of their superhero movie that would have teamed up various supernatural dc comics characters ( a project more commonly known as justice league dark around the internet ) . but this may not turn out to be a laughing matter , as thr claims warner bros . is considering legal action :
the film has struggled with critics and is poised to come in at no . 2 at the u . s . box office this weekend , but it is headed to a huge international debut . universal is banking on that international appeal , as well as a slate of projects that could include a mix of big - budget , medium - range , and even lower - budget monster movies , to make dark universe a success .
6 / 13 / 18 : not a whole lot is going on with the franchise as of right now . . . . but channing tatum is rumored to be starring in ' van helsing ' . all of the upcoming movies in universal ' s dark universe franchise .
following the disappointing response to solo , lucasfilm is reportedly focusing its attention on star wars : episode ix and what the next trilogy of star wars film will be after that .
the stars are out for universal ' s
monster universe
plans . . . but , uh , where ' s drac ?
universal’s dark universe feels like gamble . what if audiences don’t embrace the mummy ? what if their burgeoning cinematic universe built around classic monsters like frankenstein and the invisible man dies on the vine ? we’ll see which direction the wind blows in the weeks ahead , but with a bill condon - directed bride of frankenstein waiting in the wings and more movies in the works , universal seems to be counting on this thing working out .
the mummy has been released and the dark universe is here . a new 21st century take on the beloved universal monsters from the 1930s and ' 40s , this is something fans have either anticipated or feared , but as it ' s here , we explore what it will transform into next .
near the end of the film , judy lawson fires a single - shot flare pistol at the monster . moments later , she fires a second time with no evidence of having reloaded .
the implication here is that the film is set after the dark tower ( the novel ) : roland has been sent back to the beginning of his quest , and the events of the gunslinger will play out in a slightly different way . as we saw in the trailer , he meets jake chambers , and is going after the man in black . so , the film could essentially be an adaptation of the gunslinger , but a continuation of the story at the same time . it also looks like it’ll be set partially in our own world .
he continues : “our experience with the mummy provided a rare chance to ten young people to be attached for training in various departments on the production . namibia could expect more tourists this year as a result of our locations having been featured in the film . film tourism is a growing phenomenon worldwide , stimulated by the growth of the entertainment industry and the increase in international travel . ”
in addition to the mummy and the bride of frankenstein , the dark universe is also slated to include a creature from the black lagoon entry , as well as films centered around the invisible man , van helsing , wolf man , frankenstein , dracula , phantom of the opera and the hunchback of notre dame .
to understand the film , you need to know a little bit about the books that the film is associated with . stephen king is easily one of the best - known genre writers in the world . while king is known as a horror writer , having written classics like carrie and the shining , he’s more than that : he experiments with epic fantasy , horror , and science fiction . the dark tower , as a series , is a bit of a mash - up of all those genres , and it’s a series he considers his magnum opus .
the next and only officially slated dark universe movie is a remake of the crown jewel in universal monsters canon : bride of frankenstein . the original was released in 1935 and still remains as one of the few truly breathtaking examples of a horror sequel that builds on what came before and makes its own wonderful achievement .
that appears to be the logic coming from the programming wizards at universal studios . the film production company took the ( mummy ) wraps off its
dark universe
initiative on monday , and its intent is clear : to
reboot
the company ' s old monster - movie franchises over the next few years with big - name actors , interconnecting plots , and a rising tide of evil—a tide , of course , that can only be stopped by good guys who don ' t always follow the rules .
6 . joel mintzes the science education research director for the follow - on series minds of our own discusses the research base for a private universe .
8 . heather mars talk heather mars , the middle schooler in a private universe , recalls the reaction to the video and her subsequent experiences in education .
but then there’s this interesting tidbit . jason blum of blumhouse productions , the company behind get out , split , the purge movies , the paranormal activit y series , the insidious movies , and tons of other horror films ( both great and terrible ) is interested in playing a role in dark universe . here’s the relevant information from thr :
who says cinematic universes have to be so expensive ? why can’t dark universe consist of modestly budgeted gothic horror movies instead of summer tentpoles ? we’ll see how things proceed , but the news that universal is open to making films of all sizes and budgets bodes well for a horror movie universe where some of the entries are actually , you know , horror movies . honestly , i’d much rather see jason blum and some fresh talent tackle a classic monster and try to make it scary again than another giant spectacle .
on may 22 , universal pictures unveiled its
dark universe ,
an umbrella under which its monster movies will be released . at least five films are on the way , including the invisible man ( with johnny depp ) , dr . jekyll ( russell crowe ) , frankenstein ' s monster ( javier bardem ) and bride of frankenstein ( not yet cast ) . but the future of the universe hinges on the performance of june 9 ' s the mummy , a tom cruise - led reboot of a trilogy of films started in 1999 . early tracking suggests the alex kurtzman - directed film may debut in the low $ 40 million range in north america — a modest opening salvo for what is hoped to be a series that could someday rival dc and marvel .
the invisible man of the 21st century will also like all dark universe movies be produced by alex kurtzman and chris morgan , and is being written by ed solomon ( now you see me , charlie’s angels ) . the picture is also ostensibly based on h . g . wells’ 1897 . yet , that novel , as well as the ’33 film that starred claude rains as the eponymous translucent face , made the invisible man a rather dangerous and insane scientist . one wonders that if this is the beginning of a new franchise for depp , whether it will be possible to keep that homicidal mania here ?
the production’s stay in swakopmund required 650 members of cast and crew , 215 of whom were sourced locally while the rest were brought in from south africa and the uk . moonlighting film production services were hired to help coordinate the shoot .
the central saint martins building in camden was also staged as a hospital for a shoot in april 2016 , with 180 cast and crew present . the site was recently featured in woody harrelson’s live - feature film , lost in london .
behind the scenes , universal execs are said to be especially concerned about mummy , even though insiders say a $ 40 million bow ( plus a strong overseas haul ) would be enough to move forward with the universe as planned . comcast , universal ' s parent company , is giving the film its so - called symphony marketing push in the u . s . in which multiplatform divisions work together to promote a single project . and the film is expected to do the majority of its business abroad , where cruise continues to be a major draw . the mummy will open day - and - date in more than 60 markets , including china .
universal isn’t the only studio attempting to reap the benefits of a cinematic universe without bothering to put in the groundwork . zack snyder’s batman v superman : dawn of justice ( with ben affleck as the caped crusader ) was supposed to put rocket fuel in the dc extended universe ( dceu ) ’s engine by setting the comics’ two biggest beasts in opposition . but audiences so far seem much more keen on patty jenkins’ wonder woman , an old - school superhero origins movie with the previously unknown gal gadot in the lead , and a film that would have made the perfect introduction to a slow - building shared universe . it remains to be seen whether the forthcoming justice league can take advantage of this unexpected but completely welcome fillip for the dceu – that joss whedon is involved is a positive sign .
last we heard , the show is due to enter production this year , with a 10–13 episode season slated to hit in 2018 . the film is set to hit theaters this summer , so it’ll likely tie in with that as a prequel . depending on how well the dark tower does at the box office , it’ll probably be part of a strategy similar to what marvel is doing with its films and various television shows . we’ll find out in august .
the last gunslinger , roland deschain , has been locked in an eternal battle with walter o ' dim , also known as the man in black , determined to prevent him from toppling the dark tower , which holds the universe together . with the fate of the worlds at stake , good and evil will collide in the ultimate battle as only roland can defend the tower from the man in black .
behind the scenes , koepp is working with the mummy director alex kurtzman and writer christopher mcquarrie , plus writer chris morgan ( the fate of the furious ) , as universal’s dark universe braintrust . the studio isn’t rushing any of the other films into production , however , choosing instead to give the creative teams to ample time with each project . “the enterprise masterfully developed by chris and alex will allow each subsequent chapter the right time to find the perfect cast , filmmakers , and vision to fulfill it , ” said universal pictures chairman donna langley in a statement . “as we launch dark universe with danny’s provocative theme before the mummy and collaborate with a brilliant filmmaker like bill to weave the story of a very modern woman in a very classic tale , we feel confident we’re off to a tremendous start . ”
starring tom cruise , annabelle wallis , sofia boutella , jake johnson , courtney b . vance and russell crowe , the mummy grossed just $ 74 . 5 million domestically on an estimated $ 125 million production budget . one positive that could keep the dark universe afloat is that the film performed well overseas . still , universal hopes to be able to tap into the domestic audience next time around . “i think every movie will be different , ” kurtzman said . “i certainly know that the legacy of the monsters have endured across the world throughout the years . almost a century . so i have to believe american audiences will find it too with the right ingredients . ”
andjene andreas of the namibia film commission explains : “the production took place around the rossing mountains , sunset dunes , pyramid dunes , swakop canyons ( pictured below ) , tent dunes , rossing mountain airstrip and messum crater which are all in the erongo region . ”
) have beloved heroes spilling from all sides . universal has van helsing ( whose 2004 film made tons of money in spite of sucking ) , and . . . uh . . . another generic , flat tom cruise character . maybe

from
the softly , softly approach to universe - building is not the only trick universal seems to be missing . apart from jackson , the marvel cinematic universe flourished largely by casting unlikely actors in the key roles . the iron man and avengers movies helped transform the likes of robert downey jr and scarlett johansson into star names , but neither would have been automatic first pick to lead a new franchise 10 years ago .
by contrast , the “dark universe” seems to be on a rabid mission to hire as many middle - aged hollywood a - listers as possible , from tom cruise as soldier - of - fortune nick morton in the mummy , to crowe as jekyll / hyde and johnny depp as the upcoming invisible man . we’re expected to find out soon who is playing the bride of frankenstein in 2019’s bill condon - directed effort , with rumours swirling around angelina jolie .
a veteran writer and producer whose credits include transformers , star trek and the amazing spider - man 2 , kurtzman was tasked , along with chris morgan ( the fast and the furious franchise ) to shepherd the dark universe ; they’re expected to produce 2019’s bride of frankenstein , from beauty and the beast director bill condon . however , now kurtzman is saying , “i have to stay interested in it . i have to feel like my passion is there for it . ”
so , we’re not only getting the film , but a tv series . word broke about that last september , and the show is going to be designed to flesh out this pretty epic story that they’re telling . apparently , it’ll include idris elba ( who’s playing roland in the movie ) , and it’ll explore his backstory a bit . it’ll be based a bit on the gunslinger , and it’ll have parts of the fourth book , wizard and glass . so , in some ways , it looks like it’ll be an actual adaptation of the novels , whereas the film is a continuation of that .
part of the appeal of this universe is the big stars you ' ve attached , and in the mummy in particular , seeing tom cruise and russell crowe fight is a draw . how ' d you approach that scene ?
in addition to badem , dark universe will include the mummy stars tom cruise as nick morton ; russell crowe as dr . jekyll / mr . hyde ; and sofia boutella as the mummy herself , ahmanet . crowe’s jekyll / hyde will be the binding agent between all the movies , which will include a johnny depp - starring the invisible man , and , presumably , the wolfman and dracula . an image of all the main stars cast so far ( above ) was also revealed today .
in the technical sense of the term , blake crouch’s “dark matter” is definitely a book . even the advance galley i just read ( in one sitting ) was printed on actual paper , with an artfully designed cover and everything . but rather like the mysterious cubelike chamber invented by the physicist jason dessen in crouch’s novel — well , let’s say by at least one version of jason and perhaps by several ; indeed , perhaps by an infinite or incalculable number of jasons — “dark matter” is a portal into other dimensions of reality .
i think that variety is going to be our good friend when it comes to the evolution of dark universe . you obviously want to set a somewhat consistent tone , so that people know what to expect when you see these movies , but it would be ideal for each movie to have its own identity , which is largely going to be dependent on who is directing the films and who is starring in the films . i ' m really excited to see what bill condon does with bride of frankenstein .
aside from “the mummy , ” “bride of frankenstein” is the only planned movie to be dated thus far , to be released on feb . 14 , 2019 . “the invisible man” and “frankenstein” have already nabbed stars in johnny depp and javier bardem , respectively . angelina jolie has been linked to the lead role in “bride of frankenstein , ” but has yet to officially sign on . a new musical theme for the “ dark universe , ” composed by danny elfman , will debut in theaters ahead of “the mummy . ”
dark universe films are connected by a mysterious multinational organization known as prodigium . led by the enigmatic and brilliant dr . henry jekyll , prodigium ' s mission is to track , study , and—when necessary—destroy evil embodied in the form of monsters in our world . working outside the aegis of any government , and with practices concealed by millennia of secrecy , prodigium protects the public from knowledge of the evil that exists just beyond the thin membrane of civilized society . . . and will go to any length to contain it .
at its organizing principle , dark universe films are connected by a mysterious multi - national organization known as prodigium . led by the enigmatic and brilliant dr . henry jekyll , prodigium’s mission is to track , study and—when necessary—destroy evil embodied in the form of monsters in our world . working outside the aegis of any government , and with practices concealed by millennia of secrecy , prodigium protects the public from knowledge of the evil that exists just beyond the thin membrane of civilized society…and will go to any length to contain it .
not much is currently known about the invisible man remake other than it stars johnny depp . despite weathering recent controversies , depp is still a star with solid clout in hollywood and has always had an affinity for classic horror , which the 1933 james whale film , the invisible man , was one of the earliest forerunners for .
while the only other film in this setting whose title has been announced thus far is bill condon ' s bride of frankenstein remake , javier bardem and johnny depp have been cast as frankenstein ' s monster and the invisible man , respectively . prolific composer danny elfman composed a leitmotif for the franchise , titled
monsters legacy
.
this film has experienced a bit of a convoluted production . way back in 2007 , j . j . abrams , carlton cuse , and damon lindelof ( the people behind lost ) , first optioned the series with an eye for adapting all seven novels . nothing came of that project , and in 2010 , the rights expired .
however , king announced in 2009 , that he had an idea for another dark tower novel , and he polled his readers on his website to see which book they’d like to see first : a new dark tower novel , or a sequel to the shining . it was close , but readers picked the wind through the keyhole . ( dr . sleep , the shining’s follow - up , would come a year later . ) he wrote the wind through the keyhole , which is set about halfway through the series , but it’s a bit more standalone than the other installments .
this time around , the awareness is greater , though rival studios question why universal opted for a mummy poster without cruise . still , the film ' s first trailer has been viewed more than 179 million times , beginning with its broadcast debut in december on nbc sunday night football ; a second trailer had more than 134 million views .
‘i wanted to be able to honour the heritage and the history of the original karloff film through the summers movies , even the hammer movies , and also bring something new to the table , bring it into the modern day by making the mummy into a woman – and obviously tom cruise and russel crowe changes the game quite a bit . ’
i don’t mean that as disparagement , or mostly i don’t . “dark matter” is far too cheerful and indeed too earnest to feel cynical , even as crouch pilfers material from dozens of sources and mixmasters together multiple genres of popular fiction . this book is alternate - universe science fiction bolstered by a smidgen of theoretical physics . it’s a countdown thriller in which the hero must accomplish an impossible task in constrained circumstances to save his family . under deeper cover , it might also be a fantasy novel shaped by c . s . lewis’s “chronicles of narnia” or lev grossman’s postmodern “magicians” series .
the crucial difference between the clumsy approach taken by warner bros and universal and the more carefully crafted marvel model is that marvel was always confident in its brand . in the case of the dark universe , no amount of star quality is going to help if audiences don’t connect to this brave new world of gods and monsters . these movies need to lure us into the cinema , gauzy - eyed and rapt with fascination to see these classic monster stories retold , which is tough when the first instalment looks like a common - or - garden tom cruise action fest – 21st - century fiftysomething beefcake edition .
fans went nuts , because what king tweeted is a reference to the final book of the series , the dark tower . that’s where [ spoilers ] roland finally reaches the dark tower and faces off against a villain known as the crimson king . it’s there that he discovers that he’s gone on this quest before , many times , and is sent back to the beginning of his journey by a being known as gan each time . in prior quests , roland had left the horn of eld with a dying compatriot after a battle . in this latest version of the quest , he kept it with him , which changes things for the next cycle of the story .
on the other hand , crouch’s obsessive need for speed sometimes leads him to tread upon his better writing and his more imaginative ideas . much of his scene - setting is strictly thrillerism : an abandoned building in an industrial zone on the shore of lake michigan , a luxuriously appointed apartment , a secret high - tech facility many floors underground . but when jason finds himself in a film - noir universe where a neon sign sputters in the rain outside a hotel - room window while a shadowy stranger watches from behind a lit cigarette , or in an especially nightmarish technological upgrade of c . s . lewis’s “wood between the worlds , ” i’d have appreciated more expansiveness and more relish .
every new universe has to start somewhere ,
says box - office analyst paul dergarabedian .
if you look at [ universal ' s ] fate of the furious , 80 percent of its box office came from international . tom cruise is an international superstar , and he remains so .
‘chris morgan , who is my partner in the universal monsters , and i are working on all of them as producers , and the idea is that we’re going to do one a year , and that we’ve set a tone in this film but different directors will be able to come in on different films and bring their imprint , and unique vision to the idea of these monster movies , ’ said kurtzman .
so far , so not too bad . but then the film does something that the marvel movies , which set the template for this whole shebang , never would have . the plummy - toned jekyll messes up his injection and all of a sudden we’re confronted with the sight and sound of crowe doing his best ray - winstone - on - steroids as the fiendish , green - tinged mockney demon mr hyde .
or at least into other dimensions of media . crouch’s wayward pines trilogy became the basis for a fox television series whose pilot episode was directed by m . night shyamalan , possibly because crouch’s episodic tale about a rural idaho town that is not what it appears to be was more like a shyamalan film than anything the director has made in years . “dark matter” is surely destined for a similar fate , and as you read it on paper it inhabits a state of quantum transubstantiation , or “superposition , ” to use jason dessen’s lingo . it’s a novel right now , one that barely qualifies as beach reading because you’ll gulp it down in one afternoon , or more likely one night . but the next time you look , it will have metamorphosed into some other form .
for those obsessive enough to want every little detail about dark universe and universal’s plans for their iconic monsters , this entire hollywood reporter article is worth a read . it touches on some things we already knew : that universal still wants angelina jolie to play the bride of frankenstein ( javier bardem is on board to play frankenstein’s monster himself ) , that the studio is considering dwayne johnson to play a new version of the wolf man ( a rumor that first howled across the internet about a year ago ) , and that the studio is rightfully nervous about the mummy tracking for a $ 40 million opening at the domestic box office ( it’s budged at $ 125 million ) .
the short answer is that it’s an epic story about roland deschain , who’s on a quest to find the dark tower , a building that’s said to link all the worlds in existence together . he’s the last living member of an order of knights known as gunslingers , living in an alternate world ( part of king’s larger multiverse ) known as mid - world .
though reviews for “ the mummy ” have been unfavorable and box office tracking is far from through the roof , the studio hasn’t said it will slow down on its planned monster universe . the films will mine from universal ’s vault of monsters — dracula , frankenstein , invisible man , etc . — and reboot them for movies in the next few years .
the door is still open for luke evans’ vlad tepes , aka dracula , to be the count of the shared universal monsters universe . when we talked with evans in october 2016 , he definitely seemed eager about donning the fangs again and saying that discussions are continuing about connecting the two potential franchises . however , it is still currently up in the air .
leaving aside the questionable wisdom of making jekyll / hyde the central , connecting figure of this universe in the first place , did we really need to see him transform ? in the marvel movies , we didn’t meet samuel l jackson ’s fury until the end - credits scene of 2008 party - starter iron man . those movies worked because the studio slowly built up a bigger picture of a world inhabited by superheroes , rather than throwing all its cards on the table in the first half - hour . part of the fun was in seeing the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle gradually clicking into place . but kurtzman and co have hired crowe to play their main man , and just can’t resist showing him off – even though doing so ends up semi - sidelining boutella’s ancient egyptian horror in the movie that bears her name , and has no effect whatsoever on the events of the rest of the film .
detailing the london portion of the shoot , filmfixer director andrew pavord notes : “there were two main angles the production needed from the helicopter . one was an overhead shot of a convoy crossing waterloo bridge from a height of about 500 feet . the second was a low - flying panning shot of the vehicles , from about the same height as the bridge . the production managed to film what they needed in two hours . and in fact , in that time frame , only half an hour of flying was needed . ”
while the subject matter is cool , the series has the potential to do some interesting things with film . as we’ve seen , the story is playing with not just being a straight - up adaptation of the series , but being an additive part to it . additionally , we’ve seen places like disney do some interesting things with their marvel franchise : cross - over television shows and films . we’ve seen these sorts of cinematic universes with comics and science fiction , but this has the potential to become another bit thing like those properties .
what makes dark universe intriguing is that — unlike with dc and marvel — the budgets of the films will range dramatically and could even include low - budget forays . for instance , sources say universal - based microbudget horror producer jason blum has expressed interest in tackling a low - budget monsterverse outing . also , insiders are quick to point out that universal doesn’t have to buy the ip ( as disney did with marvel and lucasfilm ) because the studio has the titles in its library , dating to carl laemmle jr . ’s reign at universal when he oversaw a 1931 dracula and frankenstein , a 1932 the mummy , a 1933 the invisible man and a 1935 bride of frankenstein . still , despite their long association with the studio , most of the monsters exist in the public domain , so there’s little to stop other studios from pursuing films based on the characters .

1 . a private universe this video brings into sharp focus the dilemma facing all educators : why don ' t even the brightest students truly grasp basic science concepts ? interviews are held with high school students and ivy league graduates asking them to explain what causes the seasons and the phases of the moon . even the brightest students in the class have false ideas based on enduring misconceptions that traditional instructional methods cannot overcome .
here’s the rub : universal has no idea how “the mummy” will perform , yet it’s already staking hundreds of millions of dollars on a franchise that will stretch well into the 2020s . ( the next installment , “bride of frankenstein , ” is slated for 2019 . ) in other words , there is no verifiable proof that audiences are interested in these monster flicks , beyond the blanket notion that the characters are already household names . to boot , early box - office tracking for “the mummy” has been tame . costing a reported $ 135 million , the movie is forecasted to lose the no . 1 slot to “wonder woman” after earning a lukewarm $ 35 million domestically this weekend . like many contemporary franchises with established marketability , that puts the onus on foreign grosses , making patrons in these movies’ home country an afterthought . even if “the mummy” were to bomb outright with american audiences , the dark universe will continue , with a little parisian pizzazz tossed in , thanks to “phantom” and “hunchback . ”
the fact that crouch barely pretends to answer this — the jason with a wife and kid who narrates the story is the “real” one , of course ! — won’t slow you down much as you plow through “dark matter . ” but higher - order speculation about the nature of identity amid the quantum science of uncertainty is by no means new to science fiction , and i couldn’t help reflecting on the various ways genre masters less concerned with forward momentum — ursula k . le guin , neil gaiman , peter f . hamilton — have tangled with such things .
global audiences may very well gobble up familiar monster names for a fun weekend flick , but the full
universe
cash - in potential—toys , clothes , video games , comics , repeat screenings , etc . , etc . —will depend on these series inspiring the kind of unabashed fanboy and fangirl love that gets dumped onto other universes ' biggest stars . good luck getting anywhere near darth vader and han solo levels of fandom for dr . jekyll and . . . mick . . . chester ?
david koepp , who contributed to the script for the mummy and also wrote 2016 ' s inferno , apparently turned in a script for the film in 2016 that was well received by the studio . but much more promising is that bill condon has signed onto the project . condon is most well known these days for blockbusters like 2017 ' s box office - enchanted beauty and the beast and the fourth and fifth twilight pictures . but he won an oscar for his screenplay to gods and monsters , a movie he wrote and directed about james whale . and whale , of course , was an early hollywood auteur that directed and really masterminded the original bride of frankenstein .
with its famous opening scene at a harvard graduation , this classic of education research brings into sharp focus the dilemma facing all educators : why don ' t even the brightest students truly grasp basic science concepts ? this award - winning program traces the problem through interviews with harvard graduates and their professors , as well as with a bright ninth - grader who has some confused ideas about the orbits of the planets . equally useful for education methods classes , teacher workshops , and presentations to the public , a private universe
gunning for a marvel - esque connected universe , universal had already announced “bride of frankenstein” ( starring javier bardem as frankenstein’s monster ) and “the invisible man” ( starring johnny depp as dr . griffin ) . “the mummy” director alex kurtzman has said a “van helsing” script is in the works from jon spaihts ( ”passengers” ) and eric heisserer ( ”arrival” ) . kurtzman also revealed last year that the creature from the black lagoon and wolf man could be incorporated , as well . russell crowe’s dr . jekyll will link these films .
still , the film represents a considerable gamble for universal given that recent reboot attempts of aging intellectual property haven ' t fared well ( see alien : covenant , smurfs : the lost village and king arthur : legend of the sword ) . in addition , kurtzman , one of hollywood ' s top writers , has only one feature credit as a director — the 2012 drama people like us , which earned just $ 12 . 4 million worldwide . but these days it ' s not unusual to enlist a director with no tentpole experience for a big - budget movie ( think jurassic world ' s colin trevorrow , pirates 5 ' s joachim ronning and espen sandberg , and wonder woman ' s patty jenkins ) .
for starters , this five - actor announcement reeks of bet - hedging . universal ' s
monsters
universe contains all kinds of supernatural monster silliness , backed by nearly a century of schlocky films . but the whole thing seems half - baked without staking ( sorry ) anybody for dracula or an otherwise vampiric role , and plenty of other obvious choices are missing from this reveal : the wolfman , the creature from the black lagoon , or either of the wolves of london . ( let alone the abbott & costello tie - in possibilities ! )
that limitation is quite likely all to the good , because if we weren’t being thrust relentlessly forward in jason’s quest to figure out why he was kidnapped by a familiar - seeming stranger in the middle of the night , injected with powerful narcotics and catapulted , like howard the duck , into a world he never made , we might notice how familiar it all is . despite the light dusting of pop physics — specifically , the “many worlds” version of multiverse theory , in which virtually every choice made by every sentient being engenders a new universe — crouch is effectively repurposing and joining two well - worn channels of fictional speculation . there’s the idea of another universe as an inverted or ironic reflection of ours , as in the movie “sliding doors” or the “star trek” episode featuring an evil , bearded spock or the philip k . dick classic “the man in the high castle . ” and then there’s the literary conceit , going back at least as far as poe and dostoyevsky and henry james , that throughout our lives we remain haunted by what we might have been , by the ghosts of people we never became .
