"That's Sitting in a Drawer": Paul Feig Shares Details on His Unmade Universal Monster Movie 'Dark Army' [Exclusive]

Emmy nominee Paul Feig has had no shortage of work over the past few years, between his John Cena and Awkwafina team-up Jackpot! at Prime Video, Netflix's starry The School for Good and Evil, and now Another Simple Favor, the sequel to his 2018 dark comedy thriller starring Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick. However, one script from recent memory that ultimately went unmade is still on his mind — Dark Army. Announced back in 2019, the film would've pulled from Universal's roster of classic monsters and featured some of the Bridesmaids director's original creations in a tribute to older James Whale movies. Years of attempts to get the project off the ground didn't bear fruit for numerous reasons, though, and now he's speaking out about the film and what kept the ambitious project from marching forward.
