It looks like Ghostbusters: Answer the Call and Bridesmaids director Paul Feig is about to jump into two of his favourite territiors again… horror and comedy.
Feig has signed on to make a monster movie at Universal called Dark Army which is based on an idea by Feig and will feature The Invisible Man, Dracula, The Wolfman, The Mummy and all the catalogue of the hour greats owned by the studio as well as characters of Feig’s creating.
So, a modern version of The Monster Squad, then? Only here called… Monster Army.
This movie will not be connected to the failed Dark Universe idea that started up a couple of years back with Tom Cruise’s The Mummy… that concept is dead in the water, but it is fun to see Universal are still keen to use their monsters in a more creative and standalone capacity.
I actually liked a lot of Feig’s work and think something like this might work well for him, so count me in.
Thoughts? I know you have ’em and I want to hear what they are.
