Alex Kurtzman recently opened up about the failed 'Dark Universe' franchise and cited it as his biggest failure.

It's almost hard to remember that Universal was once hard at work on a cinematic universe centered on their iconic monster franchises, aptly dubbed the Dark Universe. Only one of those films ever saw the light of day in the form of 2017's critically maligned and unsuccessful The Mummy, which starred Tom Cruise.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY "I found it so valuable - I had never written a very, very big movie, and I think it's important to know how to do all the things. So I learned how to do a thing. And I am forever grateful for that experience. It was movie making on an enormous scale. I don't think that I could be here now without that experience.

It's also no secret that there are a lot of hands involved in projects that are a part of a larger universe, and Perez hinted at the "several cooks in the kitchen" with the Dark Universe films. Kurtzman had the following to say with regards to the countless voices in the film's production: Kurtzman's words are quite refreshing to hear, as are Lumet's. Both have clearly learned a great deal from the shortcomings of such a major film, and those experiences will clearly have a strong effect on their new projects, such as their new Showtime series The Man Who Fell to Earth. It's also particularly gratifying to hear from Kurtzman, who has been a voice in several major Hollywood franchises, such as Star Trek and Transformers.
