Vi vet ju hur det gick för Universals planer för en Dark Universe, bestående av moderna tolkningar av klassiska filmmonster; kalkonen The Mummy (2017) satte den första och sista spiken i kistan för studions filmplaner och under åren har det avslöjats att filmens misslyckande kan ha berott på Tom Cruise, som ju lade sig i minsta aspekt i produktionen. Ändå tar regissören Alex Kurtzman, som är ansvarig för de Star Trek-showerna, på sig ansvaret för The Mummys misslyckande. Han menade i en intervju med Playlist att han har lärt sig av sina misstag och blivit en starkare filmskapare för det:
"I tend to subscribe to the point of view that you learn nothing from your successes, and you learn everything from your failures and that was probably the biggest failure of my life, both personally and professionally. There are about a million things I regret about it, but it also gave me so many gifts that are inexpressibly beautiful. I didn't become a director until I made that movie, and it wasn't because it was well directed — it was because it wasn't. And I would not have understood many of the things that I now understand about what it means to be a director had I not gone through that experience. And as brutal as it was, in many ways, and with as many cooks in the kitchen as there were, I am very grateful for the opportunity to make those mistakes because it rebuilt me into a tougher person, and it also rebuilt me into a clearer filmmaker."
Han tillade:
"Look, if you look at history and you look at people who've made amazing things, every single one of them will tell you the same story, which is that it came after a failure, so I look back on it now with gratitude. It took me a while to get there, but my life is better for it."
Vad tycker du om Kurtzman och hans uttalande?
