Why Universal’s Dark Universe With Russell Crowe And Tom Cruise Failed, According To One Writer

It doesn’t sound like it’s much of a loss or even a surprise to Eric Heisserer, because he says he actually chose Van Helsing as his monster movie due to thinking that the universe would not make it as far as Universal had hoped for. In an ironic choice, Heisserer chose to write the monster killer, for he thought a lot of the monsters would not work out and need killing. While it’s a shame we won’t be seeing his monster-killer movie, it appears that things may have worked out for the best Eric Heisserer, and possibly for others involved in the Dark Universe venture.
