>The updated version will kick start Universal’s new era of monster films
>The studio has long wanted to capitalise on its classic monster movie library and hired Alex Kurtzman and Chris Morgan last summer to help develop a monster universe similar to the one that Marvel has with its team of superheroes.
>The reboot follows Navy Seal Tyler Colt, likely Tom's part, on a mission to find terrorists hiding in a bunker in the Iraqi desert.
>The terrorists turn out be grave robbers who have all mysteriously died in the bunker. Tyler and his team soon realize the bunker is actually a centuries-old tomb before they also succumb to some strange force. Tyler is the only one who gets out alive.
>The chiller is due to hit screens on March 24, 2017.
>Like the Avengers franchise, characters from the monster films are expected to crop up in each other’s installments before culminating in a tie-in film.
