FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18 UNIVERSAL MONSTERS---Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS) are developing movie remakes of the classic Universal Monsters. Orci said they're thinking about creating a common universe for the Universal Monsters similar to the one created by Marvel Studios, "There's an interesting thing that could happen at Universal where they have this amazing library of their old monsters and these kinds of heroes, and the idea of trying to create a universe. VAN HELSING, and we're also producing THE MUMMY for them. We're kind of imagining updating these kinds of things. You don't want to just make remakes when you're doing a thing, unless it's worthy of being a remake, but when you have an idea for something that can actually be made different and yet be true to what it was. We just had a notion of how to make it modern and have a slightly different tone. It's not going to be just a remake." The VAN HELSING remake stars Tom Cruise. THE COUNSELOR---photo released from the Ridley Scott movie shows Cameron Diaz as the sociopathic girlfriend of a mobster (Javier Bardem) who exposes herself to him while on top of his car.
