In terms of upcoming horror motion pictures, we’re about to see a ton of basic film monsters return to the fold. From Nosferatu hitting theaters on Christmas to Common’s new Wolf Man film, there’s quite a bit to look ahead to. However now it’s additionally been introduced that one other Mummy film is on the best way in 2026, and I can’t cease occupied with the Brendan Fraser motion pictures.
Blumhouse Is Making A New The Mummy Film
Lee Cronin, who beforehand did 2023’s Evil Lifeless Rise, is behind the subsequent Mummy film, per an announcement from Atomic Monster and Blumhouse, that are producing it. It has an April 17, 2026 launch date, and Cronin had this to say concerning the challenge:
This will likely be in contrast to any Mummy film you ever laid eyeballs on earlier than. I am digging deep into the earth to lift one thing very historic and really scary.
Cronin is penning the script for the brand new Mummy film, in addition to directing. He’ll have James Wan of The Conjuring motion pictures and Jason Blum on his facet as producers, alongside together with his Evil Lifeless Rise producer John Keville. Apart from that, we simply have this Instagram teaser:
I feel it’s secure to say that the subsequent The Mummy film goes full horror. Whereas the property has been round method longer than when Brendan Fraser gave off massive film star vitality within the 1999 film, that’s the subsequent film from the franchise I need as a substitute.
I Assume The Subsequent Nice Mummy Film Wants Brendan Fraser
The Mummy motion pictures go method again, from the 1932 Boris Karloff model to the 1959 one with Christopher Lee. Apart from The Mummy trilogy, there’s additionally the terrible 2017 reboot with Tom Cruise that was supposed to assist arrange the Darkish Universe. Whereas I completely get that Hollywood feels that it wants to offer the property one other strive, I’d a lot relatively see Brendan Fraser again as Rick O’Connell having a blast in a tomb someplace than see a generic horror film a couple of buried corpse from Egypt coming to life… once more.
Over time, Brendan Fraser has shared his curiosity in doing one other film from the franchise, and as followers, we’ve been hoping to see a fourth film within the franchise resurrected. Listed below are Fraser’s newest feedback about being in one other sequel for The Mummy from 2023:
I am not against it. I do not know an actor who would not need a job. I do not suppose I have been this well-known and unsalaried on the similar time in my skilled life, so signal me up. We have all obtained to begin someplace.
In fact, Fraser on the time was talking from the standpoint of somebody who’s certainly been requested this for a few years and has but to see a script to indicate for it. The 2017 reboot actually confirmed what not to do with the franchise (as director of the 1999 Stephen Sommers stated he was even insulted by the remake). Blumhouse’s fame with horror these days has been up and down, so whereas they may strike gold, I do know what I might favor.
I feel the earlier Hollywood realizes that The Mummy’s legend standing presently comes from Brendan Fraser, the earlier they’ll have one other hit from the franchise. However hey, possibly I’m completely incorrect and Lee Cronin’s model will likely be wonderful! We’ll maintain you up to date right here on CinemaBlend.
