Dark Universe - General Discussion Thread

Nowhere in the article suggests this. Where are you seeing it.

He's writing a TV show for Universal featuring the Universal Monsters, and he's having a scream doing it: "It’s based in the Universal monster land. I get to play with some of those characters like Dracula and Frankenstein and the Wolf Man and have fun there."

Even more importantly, Williamson working on a Dark Universe pilot (even if it's the park's Dark Universe) means little to nothing at this stage. Universal Television has been trying to do something, anything, with the Universal monsters for over half a decade. Of course they're going to toss a writer with William's track record some development money to whip up a treatment or script. But we have no approved script, no pilot commitment, and no series order, so any actual movement on anything consumer facing is a long ways away.

Yes. My point here was just bringing up that this project is currently in development. which shows universal’s dedication for their horror ip land, no matter if development of the project will be successful or not.

And no other epic universe’s ip based land is currently getting this type of dedication and treatment. And these attention and passion on shows their trust on this ip and this may lead to more proactive development on expanding stories of dark universe land as I heard from TM and creatives.

They were mentioning expansion is in works on dark universe way more than harry potter land expansion while I was discussing.

Just hopping that we’ll get to have valid scripts and more supports, sturdy development along the way.

“in the universal monsters land” without any context to theme park or epic tells me this isn’t about dark universe. “In” is not “on”.

Valid. My defend is that we heard dark universe plenty of time yet we never heard them mentioning dark universe universals monsters land specifically, I say there is high possibility that it may be related to or got motive from their new horror based theme zone in epic.

I'm sorry, but this is a reach. Even if this is meant to be a direct adaptation of Dark Universe, it isn't really reflective of theme park priorities, and it definitely doesn't have any bearing on whether expansions are imminent.
