While the whole world is watching how the new version of "Beauty and the Beast" turns into a financial monster that has already raised more than $ 1 billion , the director of the fairy tale Bill Condon is trying to lure the studio into his camp Universal . According to the portal Deadline , the parties are negotiating that Condon will lead the filming of one of the films of the cinematic universe of monsters, and the favorite for the director is a remake of “ Bride of Frankenstein b>".Condon has previously admitted that the 1935 film is one of his favorites. The filmmaker even paid a peculiar tribute to the picture in one of the parts of "Twilight". In addition, original director James Whale was the main character in Gods and Monsters, for which Condon won a Oscar for its script. The original version is a sequel to the movie "Frankenstein".
