What's the plot of Universal Monsters 3 going to be?

Come to think of it, has the UMU celebrated any special anniversaries throughout the years?

 

[OldNavy1988]

Come to think of it, has the UMU celebrated any special anniversaries throughout the years?

Monsterverse Anniversaries:
1991 - 60th Anniversary of Dracula & Frankenstein (both 1931); 50th Anniversary of the Wolf Man (1941)
1992 - 60th Anniversary of The Mummy (1932)
1993 - 60th Anniversary of The Invisible Man (1933)
1994 - 40th Anniversary of The Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)
1999 - 10th Anniversary of the Peter Stormare Dracula (1989)
2002 - 10th Anniversary of Universal Monsters (1992)

What's the plot of Universal Monsters 3 going to be?

Most likely, it'll be Dracula's last stand.

 

[HonestAbe1809]

Most likely, it'll be Dracula's last stand.

Maybe with Poelzig serving as Dracula’s Starscream before taking over his spot as the Big Bad.

Also, I am thinking of making a huge overhaul to X-Men 3 for 2006, so I might borrow story elements from The Last Stand in heaping spoonfuls and repurpose them for UM3. There's gotta be plenty of monsters straddling the fence that'll sooner or later have to pick between the Defenders of Humanity and the Iron Grip.

1999 - 10th Anniversary of the Peter Stormare Dracula (1989)
2002 - 10th Anniversary of Universal Monsters (1992)

As fun as that sounds, I was talking about how they celebrated the formation of the Monsterverse itself, like when their first film was released, or their first crossover flick. Those kinds of events.

The crossover films:
Universal Monsters (1992)
Universal Monsters 2 (1997)
Universal Monsters 3 (2003)

In 1999, there was a two hour special on UPN about the formation and the first ten years of the Monsterverse, along with previews of films leading up to UM3. That special was later released as a bonus disc for the DVD of The Mummy Returns.

Thank you. I'm good for now.

Cool.

Any other thoughts, ideas, etc before we move ahead?

Before I forget, here is the new collaborative supplement: https://www.alternatehistory.com/fo...borative-supplement-to-american-magic.456414/

I do believe this is as highly worth my time as a supplement can get.

Everything about this announcement is a complete and utter curveball. Like, Babe Ruth levels of fast hitting news!

Since Mattel likely kept the He-Man franchise alive with video games I think they could have a sequel series. They could even do that and not completely retcon the failed retool of the series. The googly-eyed “Skeletor” could be revealed to be an imposter with the real Skeletor being the original iconic design.

That could work quite well for the franchise's popularity.

This time, it'll likely be set somewhere in the 90's.

What year would you like to see the sequel series released?

 

[HonestAbe1809]

What year would you like to see the sequel series released?

If you release it in this year, 2003, you'd be releasing it on the 20th anniversary of the original series. Naturally, it'd been in development for some time beforehand.

Given how it was literatly just announced a few minutes ago as of writing, I'd wager more of a 2008 release, so as to release it on the 30th anniversary of Roger Rabbit, who was the OTL "inspiration" behind the show. That is, if the production stories behind Bonkers as a show still happen as bad as IOTL here.

@TheFaultsofAlts

The 30th Anniversary of Roger isn't until 2018. Did you mean the 20th in 2008?
