Who’s Joining Alex Kurtzman And Chris Morgan On Their Quest To Resurrect Universal’s Classic Monsters??

Universal is continuing its efforts to revitalize its iconic ‘monsters’ franchise into a Marvel-esque, ‘shared universe’ experience.     

As Alex Kurtzman gears up to direct his MUMMY relaunch (from a script by PROMETHEUS’ Jon Spaihts), Jay Basu has been drafted by Kurtzman and Chris Morgan (the FAST AND THE FURIOUS franchise) to share the workload.  It’s not clear which monster Basu will be tackling.

Basu also has a co-writing credit on the sequel Monsters: Dark Continent…

…says THIS piece at Deadline.  Bas also co-scripted 2012’s THE DINOSAUR PROJECT. 

The Kurtzman/Spaihts MUMMY movie is targeting an April 2016 release.
