Welcome to a lost world of gods and monsters. Development Hell is teaming up with The Monsters That Made Us podcast this fall for the brand new limited audio series DARK UNIVERSE.

In the 2010s, Universal Studios was developing an MCU-style ecosystem of action movies, rebooting their Universal Classic Monsters films. But after the first film's failure, the entire franchise was scrapped.

In DARK UNIVERSE PART II, we unearth the never-made reboot of THE INVISIBLE MAN that was supposed to star Johnny Depp.
