What directors would you like to see involved in the UMCU*?
*Universal Monster Cinematic Universe, more specifically.
J.A. Bayona - He's no stranger to horror having done The Orphanage and the first two episodes of Penny Dreadful( Which also had different horror characters interact in a singular narrative). Being involved in the UMCU wouldn't be out of the question in his case as he's set to direct Jurassic World 2 AKA Jurassic Park 5 next for Universal.
Mike Flanagan - He's becoming a rock star in the horror genre with Oculus and Hush, and he did what was thought to be impossible and make a legitimately good, worth-while sequel to a much hated, very low rated movie few really thought was worth checking out in Ouija: Origin of Evil/
David Slade - He's a good director for hire and has left a stamp on the horror genre before having done Hard Candy, the comic book adaptation 30 Days of Night, and served as a director and executive producer on the artistically daring critical darling Hannibal. He's also directed some pretty stellar music videos, left his stamp on other TV like NBC's sadly short lived but totally unique Awake starring Jason Isaacs, an episode of Breaking Bad, and will be directing the first three episodes of STARZ' adaptation of Neil Gaiman's American Gods. Yes, he did do a Twilight movie but hey we all need to eat, right?
Christopher McQuarrie - Well he has worked with Cruise before and is a writer on this, plus he's pretty damn good as a director so why the heck not?
James Wan - He made Universal a lot of money with Furious 7 and has left his stamp on horror from the Saw, Insidious, and The Conjuring franchises. He can handle small scale and big scale well, it would be interesting to see his take on these classic monsters.
I'd like to see Guillermo Del Toro in there but I don't think he's shown enthusiasm to doing a Universal Monsters movie if it isn't a period piece, I do believe he did say all of them should be period pieces and not set in contemporary times.
