Universal’s Monsters Reboot Will Be Horror After All

Collider

Last year, fans of the classic Universal Monsters films erupted in a bit of an uproar when the studio sent out a press release describing the new Universal Monsters shared universe as “epic action-adventure” — with no mention of the word “horror.” Screenwriters Alex Kurtzman (Transformers) and Chris Morgan (Fast & Furious franchise) are spearheading Universal’s reboot of its classic monsters franchise, with Kurtzman slated to direct the first film out of the gate with 2017’s The Mummy.
