Variety Article

Paul Feig has signed on to write, direct, and produce the monster movie “Dark Army” for Universal.

The studio released no plot details about the project other than comparing it to the upcoming Blumhouse-Leigh Whannell remake of “Invisible Man,” which is set to be released Feb. 28 and stars Elisabeth Moss and Oliver Jackson-Cohen.

“Instead of prescribing a mandated updating of these monster stories and making them all part of a larger scheme, the studio loosened these restrictions and open-sourced to filmmakers who were inspired to create their own unique stories,” Universal said.

Feig will produce for his Universal-based Feigco Productions, with Laura Fischer also producing.




First of all, WTF is the Dark Army? Second Oh Boy.

OMG so excited xD

 

[What A Shame...]

Which monster will Melissa McCarthy play?

Seems fitting.

Spy was a nice movie, though..

I still don't understand what GB2016 was..

 

[MayauMiao]

Every male in this movie of his will be stupid.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

White male feminists, man, they just fail upwards it seems.

Give this guy a trilogy while we’re at it

 

[Cravis]

At least it’s an original idea of his. They obviously didn’t trust him with one of their existing IPs after seeing what he did with Ghostbusters lol.

I thought Mr Hemsworth was funny in Ghostbusters Women.
^__^

 

[Silent Duck]

Every male in this movie of his will be stupid.

I thought everyone in Ghostbusters 2016 was stupid.

And I felt stupid for having watched it... for free on tv... when I had the option to change channels... *hangs head in shame*

[Dirk Benedict]

That's his rendition of what GB2016 is in a nutshell.

 

[Nymphae]

First of all, WTF is the Dark Army? Second Oh Boy.

I'd be interested in something focused on the Dark Army from Mr. Robot.

 

[kunonabi]

Universal really is committed to botching this whole thing.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I can't wait for the crossover megaevent:

The Dark Army vs The Army Of Darkness

 

[NickFire]

I'm always up for a good horror movie, so I hope he does a much better job than on ghostbusters.

with a horror movie, there is a chance a large part of the film will be scripted, so already that's a step up.

 

[sol_bad]

I have to say, Bridesmaids and A Simple Favor are 2 damn good movies. Paul Feig certainly has talent.
I'll be watching his new movie Last Christmas later this year too.
Don't disregard this film just because of Ghostwomen.

 

[oagboghi2]

Jeez, what is wrong with male feminists?

"In Hollywood you fail upwards"

He's made movies and TV shows for a while now. Ghostbusters was a disaster, but it doesn't mean the guy will literally never work on a movie ever again.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

wonder if they will have any pussy fart jokes in this one? that's what everyone wants, right? more jokes about queefing?
