First "Avengers Assemble," now "Creatures Congregate!"<\/b><\/p>\n

Universal's idea to create a "shared universe" for its classic movie monsters has some great possibilities. It has some awful possibilities, too, of course, but I think a big question will be how they tie things together. \u00a0Will we see cross-overs of monsters? Common humans (or human organizations) in various of the films? \u00a0Will the monsters be the protagonists or the antagonists? So many ways it could be done, and I'd love to see it done well.\ufeff<\/p><\/div>\n
