One of “Pacific Rim” filmmaker Guillermo del Toros upcoming projects is whats being dubbed “Dark Universe”. As previously reported, the film is essentially a team-up of the the various supernatural characters in the DC Comics Universe such as John Constantine, Swamp Thing, the Demon Etrigan, Deadman, The Spectre and Zatanna.<\/p>\n

Asked about its status, del Toro tells MTV that hes writing it right now. Actually, hes re-writing the outline at present while they wait on a writer they already have set.<\/p>\n

Asked if the building of the DC movie universe, starting with “Man of Steel,” has affected how the “Dark Universe” project is coming together, del Toro says:<\/p>\n

The great thing about the Dark Universe is you have this possibility of basically creating a supernatural group and you can play by different rules, but I would love to see the DC Universe become as cohesive as the Marvel filmic universe. So if there\u2019s any correlation, I will honor it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
