During an interview in April 2021, screenwriter Eric Heisserer admitted that he knew the Dark Universe franchise was doomed from the start when he sat in on the first big planning session with several other heavyweight writers involved. Heisserer, who had been hired with Jon Spaihts to write a reboot of Van Helsing, said that there were "a lot of voices and none of them could agree on much." They couldn't even decide if the monsters should be heroes or villains. He said it was like watching all his relatives argue during Thanksgiving dinner. At the end, the attitude was basically that everyone involved would just make it up as they went along. He and Spaihts knew that some movies would never work, so they joked that they might as well write the most oddball screenplay they could think of (such as including a character that would "kill [off] the monsters from the movies that didn't work"), because they felt there was no way the franchise would survive long enough to actually produce their film.
