Universal Pictures has signed a two-year first-look production deal with Mission: Impossible III, Transformers & Star Trek writing/producing teams in the entertainment industry, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, and their K/O Paper Products banner.
The duo will kick off their new relationship with Universal by reimagining titles from the studio’s library including The Mummy and Van Helsing, with Tom Cruise already attached to the latter. There’s very little info on what direction they’re planning to take either The Mummy of Van Helsing, although it’s likely to be a grittier take than the most recent version.
“We’re thrilled to call Universal Pictures our home,” said Kurtzman and Orci. “They really understand the importance of building a strong creative team and giving our shared projects their full support. We’re proud to start making movies that will live as part of Universal’s enduring legacy.”
