Luke Evans Could Reprise His Role as Dracula

Published

on

Before Universal created the braintrust to resurrect their monsters universe, they released the god awful Dracula Untold, which starred the bland Luke Evans as the Prince of Darkness. I hate that movie – haaaaaaate it – and wish that both the film and Evans would stay as far away from the upcoming monster universe as humanly possible. Unfortunately, Universal has openly stated that it’s the “first” in the series of films, which will include The Mummy, Invisible Man, Wolf Man, Creature From the Black Lagoon and even Bride of Frankenstein.

When LRM spoke to Evans, who plays Scott Hipwell in Tate Taylor’s upcoming The Girl on the Train, they asked him if he’s heard any word on Drac’s return and the plans for a monster team-up.

“There have been talks and conversations. I think the bigger picture is exciting for all the monsters that they own. There is talk about it. I just don’t know how it will all manifest itself. I think it will happen and I think they’re just working out how these monsters interact and how they end up in the same realm with each other. If they can stick Captain America in a scene with Iron Man and Thor, I think you can definitely put Wolf Man, the Invisible Man, The Mummy and Dracula in the same film as well.”

SCREAMBOX Investigates UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Several Documentaries Streaming Right Now!

Published

on

As someone who is obsessed with UFOS (or more recently known as UAPs) and the concept of extraterrestrials, I love a good documentary. Sightings have been on the rise since the 1940s, with the atomic bomb seemingly acting as a catalyst for new visitors. But what are these UFOs/UAPs? Is there an explanation or are they simply beyond our explanation? Why are they here? Who are they? How much do our governments know? The questions are endless and so are the documentaries that attempt to uncover the secrets behind decades of sightings and alleged confrontations.

Whether you’re a seasoned viewer or new to the rabbit hole, there’s always a handful of interesting documentaries to get your neurons firing and leave you with sleepless nights. SCREAMBOX is investigating with the addition of several docs, all streaming now on the Bloody Disgusting-powered service. Here’s the breakdown:
