My Dark Universe Fantasy lineup

To summarize, Tom Cruise hijacked The Mummy (2017) from the director and turned it into another Tom Cruise action film, so the movie was basically stillborn. Here's what I would do (if I was a Hollywood executive producer sitting on $200million dollars):

I'd get some iconic horror directors together in one room-- James Wan, Jordan Peele, Guillermo del Toro, and Sam Raimi-- in a room together with a round table and have them decide what monsters they wanted to make movies about. I don't want a cinematic universe, I want monster stories that just so happen to take place in the same universe; no hints at other monsters, no after credits scenes, no Nick Fury expy. The main issue with MCU setting all their stories in the same universe is that if you miss too many spinoff series or side-movies, you will be lost on the plot of the main movies. All I ask is that the monsters not be treated as superheroes (and to do as much practical effects as possible). Monsters are grotesque, monsters are tragic, monsters are metaphors and allegories for the human condition. If their films prove successful, then they can invite some lesser-known directors to make smaller movies about monsters. Basically, I'd be hands-off and let the professionals go at it. Maybe, after 10 movies, we'll have the survivors of the monster films meet up and help other people survive their monster encounters but no world-ending events.

The University of Barcelona's Medicine Faculty has temporarily installed a giant heart made by the Catalan artist Jaume Plensa, with the building's columns acting as the ribcage.

The objective of this work of art is to raise awareness about cardiovascular illnesses, which are the leading cause of death worldwide.

The work is titled El cor secret (The Secret Heart). The heart measures 13 metres tall and 10 metres wide, and weighs 150 kg. It's made of synthetic materials and painted by hand. It had previously been shown in Germany in 2014 and was supposed to arrive to Plensa's home city sooner, but it was delayed because of covid. Instead, in 2020, Plensa donated one of his famous head sculptures to this same building, to thank medicine professionals and students for their work during the pandemic.
