All we know of the Universal Monsters plan right now is that Alex Kurtzman and Chris Morgan (The Fast and the Furious series) are planning to relaunch the studio’s classic monsters as a “connected universe,” starting with a new Mummy film that Jon Spaihts (Prometheus) wrote and Kurtzman will direct. Kurtzman recently explained,
The Mummy is set for release on June 24, 2016. Universal has this official text to share about the movie:
Some monsters will get their own movie. Other monsters will appear in other movies, as secondary characters. The balance of that is what we’re working out right now.
The book tells the story of a mysterious private-plane crash, starting in Martha’s Vineyard, and focuses on the two survivors, an artist and a little boy, and the lives of the people who died in the crash — from the flight crew to the wealthy media mogul and his family and the coincidences that begin to emerge which suggest the flight’s crash may not have been an accident.
