I've included other disconnected Universal Monsters films because why not I guess.
There's actually some recent comics that are part of the Universal Monsters brand by Skybound Entertainment. Wonder if it fits.

Universal Monsters: Dracula #1-4 and Universal Monsters: Frankenstein #1-4 are adaptations but Universal Monsters: The Creature From The Black Lagoon Lives #1-4 is a sequel to the original film apparently.

Has anyone done the Planet Of The Apes reboot? I'm trying to figure it out.

pas un début, mais une continuation

Three chapters into Undead Unluck, and we get a specific date... August 5th. Coupled with the fact that it's stated to be in three days, this means that the manga begins on August 2nd. Will see if there's a specified year, though considering the anime uses 2020, it might be the same in the manga.
TL;DR, timeline ATM is as follows (barring flashbacks):
August 2nd, 20XX (Chapters 1 to 3): Fuuko and Andy meets for the first time, fights Void and Shen, with Void dying and Shen telling them how to join Union.
August 5th, 20XX (Chapters 4 to ?): Fuuko and Andy arrive in Russia, fight between them and Gina (the Union member Shen tells them about)

Not sure if anyone plans to do a timeline for 2000 AD/Judge Dredd, but some key notes I've observed:
- The Atomic Wars (as shown in flashbacks during the "Origins" storyline) begin on June 12th, 2070, which eventually leads to the creation of the Cursed Earth.
- The Volgan Invasion of Britain as shown in the comic strip Invasion (Prog 1 itself) takes place on January 1st, 1999.
- One of the Strontium Dog storylines has Johnny Alpha and Wulf Sternhammer going back in time to April 30th, 1945 to apprehend Hitler for his crimes (yes, really).

I know it's just for fun and nothing serious, but is there a connection? And if so, what is it?

All are officially connected. What are you curious about specifically so I can elaborate?

The Mummy: Dark Universe Stories, a sequel game to The Mummy (2017), directly connects to The Mummy's Hand film series characters, bringing in Dr. Petrie (who has somehow stayed young) and the mummy Kharis, both using the original actors' likenesses. The Mummy's Hand is marketed as part of Universal Monsters, the first shared universe that primarily spanned the 1930s to 1950s. It directly crossed over in Return of the Wolf Man (novel), itself an official sequel to Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.
The Mummy (2017) had numerous easter eggs to other movies that are part of the Universal Monsters brand. These include the skull of a vampire, the hand of the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and the Book of Life/Amun Ra (from The Mummy (1999)). When asked about these connections, the intended nature of the Dark Universe was revealed, and it wasn't a new continuity but rather a continuation of the existing Universal Monsters canon.
'The Mummy' Easter Eggs: This is how the 2017 film is connected to the Brendan Fraser version
Not a lot of people went to see Tom Cruise's The Mummy reboot over the weekend. Unfortunately, that means some fans missed out on an Easter egg that links the film to the 1999 Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz version. In the movie, Nick Morton and…
Arguably, this leaves the possibility for MANY Universal Monsters branded films to be part of the shared universe, but it gets convoluted fast since you'd have to account for multiple versions of Frankenstein (Van Helsing) and Dracula (Van Helsing, Dracula Untold, The Last Voyage of the Demeter, etc).
The monster is nicknamed Frankenstein in this continuity, don't correct me.
Renfield is a direct sequel to Dracula, with the previous "sequels" being crossover films or about family members. The film starts with a brief recap of the 1931 film, putting Nicolas Cage and Nicolas Hoult as Dracula and Renfield into the original scenes.
'Renfield' Will Be a Direct Sequel to 1931's 'Dracula'... Which Killed Renfield
Nicolas Cage takes the torch — and cape — from Bela Lugosi.

Only as alternate universes, IIRC

Chapter 16 confirmed it. 2020. I'll make a thread at some point later.
The timelines would look something like this I think
Comic Universe
2099-Present: Judge Dredd
2180-Present: Strontium Dog
1995 Film Universe
2139: Judge Dredd
2012 Film Universe
2099: Dredd
Thoughts?

See, they're all Dracula, but like... different. Kinda. You can do that if you want. Obviously you'd be assuming there's more than one Demeter too. I think that the Jekyll/Hyde from Van Helsing and The Mummy (2017) could probably be rationalised as descendants of the Jekyll/Hyde of the 1913 Universal Jekyll/Hyde film if you want. Throw in Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde too I guess. It's all fun anyways.

Salutations, votre travail acharné est impressionnant et l'univers dans lequel vous plongez m'intrigue profondément. J'ai regardé des films modernes et actuels. Si vous avez plus d'informations dans ce domaine, je serais très intéressé d'en savoir plus.
There is also two Imhotep that get mummified and revive in the 20th century. And they are not the same guy since the princess that they were in a relationship with before dying and they try to revive in the present has a different name.
