Andres Muschietti is circling a deal to direct the reboot, which Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are producing with Sean Daniel.

It's weird to see the major studios stake out their territories in regards to the kind of blockbusters they make. Disney has Marvel and Star Wars, Warner Bros. has the DC characters (maybe, if they get around to it), and Universal has straight-up decided that they're all about monsters.

With kaiju making the rounds again, I will give Universal and LP a shot with their classic monster remakes/reboots. What monster is next after THE MUMMY?

They've got a Dracula movie coming out that was produced before this shared universe thing became the M.O. It may end up tying in, might not, either way: Universal Dracula this year.

Then we have The Mummy: makes sense, as it was recently popular but now far enough away to be understandably rebooted.

The Wolf Man remake from a few years ago went over like a lead balloon, so they might want to let Mr. Talbot rest a bit and build a robust brand before bringing him back out.

I don't think the Invisible Man is quite popular enough to be on the initial slate.

I reckon Frankenstein or the Creature will be after the Mummy. They make the most sense.

Are you guys talking about Dracula The Untold Story? That doesn't even look like it has anything to do with Bram's novel, but is instead, just a made up story featuring Vlad. Not to mention it does not even look good. I don't think Universal would want this movie to be part of their "shared universe" as it will probably end before it begins.

Now that Tom Cruise has officially signed on, Universal has set a new release date for its reboot of “The Mummy”: the film will bow on June 9, 2017.

ok... so in renting the new Poltergeist Movie, I saw a preview for the film The Pyramid (which I initially thought may have been a new Mummy movie). But apparently it is a film that came out last year, and wasn't very good from what I've read online. It must have been not well advertised since I never even knew this movie existed until now, over a year after its release. Why they would preview an older movie on a new DVD release is beyond me....
