The Creature from the Gowanus Canal? He's coming for your microbrews...and a hipster hottie in a vintage bathing suit?
In the meantime, the Invisble Man remake may have solved its Depp problem: https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2467738/the-invisible-man-reboot-may-have-found-its-first-new-star

I hope they cast her as the titular star and still bafflingly go with The Invisible Man as the title.

it's aliiiiiiiiive!
Elisabeth Moss, who was in early talks for Universal-Blumhouse’s The Invisible Man last month, is officially on board with the latest rendition of the classic monster character.The project reps a re-team for Moss with producer Jason Blum after the recent $220M-global grossing success of Jordan Peele’s Us. Invisible Man will shoot in Australia. The opening weekend for Us became the highest-grossing ever for an original horror title.

And prompted by the wild success of an original horror title, we've opted to produce the 415th film adaptation of a 150 year old horror property.

Apparently the success of The Invisible Man has inspired Universal to return to the Dark Universe: http://epicstream.com/news/TinyDiapana/Universal-Developing-New-Dracula-Movie-For-Its-Dark-Universe

the invisible man was good though

it was also made on a us$7m budget, unlike the mummy which cost a freaking bomb

giving it all to blumhouse is a decent strategy. might work.

we could be entering an era of decent hollywood movies that don’t cost liechtenstein’s gdp to make

seems like horror films are the only small movies that turn a reliable profit today.
― wasdnuos (abanana), Friday, 13 March 2020 01:33 (four years ago) link
Yeah I saw this last night and thought it was good. Have no idea wtf they’re gonna do with Dracula. Also assume the budget won’t be 7m.
― officer sonny bonds, lytton pd (mayor jingleberries), Friday, 13 March 2020 04:37 (four years ago) link
imo they should cap the budgets just in case
― mh, Friday, 13 March 2020 13:55 (four years ago) link
Two of Kusama's previous films were on $1 million budgets (fifteen years apart).
Whannel's first film made $100 million on a $1 million budget, his second made $147 million on a $4 million budget, his third made $164 million on a $10 million budget, his fifth made $100 million on a $1.5 million budget, his sixth made $160 million on a $5 million budget, his seventh (first as director) made $113 million on an $11 million budget, his eighth had a $3 million budget, and The Invisible Man has made $105 million in two weeks on a $7 million budget.
Blumhouse's most expensive movies to date iirc are $15 million for BlacKkKlansman, a co-production with a name director, a couple of stars, dozens of speaking roles & even more extras, and shitloads of outdoor and indoor location shoots; and $20 million for Glass, which had to pay M. Night Shyamalan, Bruce Willis, Sam Jackson, and James McAvoy, who probably has a reasonable quote after a bunch of X-Mens.
It's very unlikely that they're not going to keep the budget low on Kusama's Dracula.
― Fantastic. Great move. Well done (sic), Friday, 13 March 2020 20:27 (four years ago) link
and the one that kinda flopped was upgrade, which is amazing
― wasdnuos (abanana), Friday, 13 March 2020 21:29 (four years ago) link
Returned about six times its budget, on almost zero promotion! Absolutely a big success, just only made a fraction of his horror & sequel flicks.

Aaaand now Blumhouse and Whannell are now attached to a Wolfman reboot for Ryan Gosling. "The script has been described as having a vibe that evokes Network (1976) and Nightcrawler (2014)." So pseudo-found footage of Larry Talbot yelling "I'm flea-bitten as hell, and I'm not going to take this any more"?
