Universal wants Hunchback and Phantom for its Dark Universe
Universal’s newly named Dark Universe hasn’t officially kicked off yet—the opening of The Mummy this weekend will signal that—but it keeps expanding nonetheless. In an interview with Fandom (via /Film) Alex Kurtzman, the man who is leading this effort to get people invested in the world of spooky characters, noted that in addition to the previously announced plans to make movies about the Bride Of Frankenstein, her husband, and the Invisible Man, the studio also wants to add a little Parisian flair to its lineup with the Hunchback Of Notre Dame and the Phantom Of The Opera. Alas, in these versions the tortured souls probably will not sing.
