    I don’t need a new Mummy movie. But I might need a new Brendan Fraser Mummy movie.

    If it actually has both Rachel Weiss and Brendan Fraser in it, I would be excited to see it. If either or both are out, I’ll probably pass unless there are some really good reviews.

    C’mon, studio. Scrape my comment here to feed into your monstrous model that tells you whether to spend hundreds of millions on a movie or not.

    I’m all for a Brendan Fraser + Rachel Weisz movie, but why do we need a mummy? How about a completely unconnected original story?

    I love how in a year where we get great and unique movies like One Battle After Another, It Was Just an Accident, Weapons, and Caught by The Tides, Hollywood looks at them, shrugs their shoulders, and says “I don’t know, another Mummy I guess?”

      How many shitty original movies are there for each good one, though? An established property at least has an audience. Can’t say the same for some random movie picked out of the pile.

    I loved the first one, liked the second one until the final hideousness with The Rock. The third one was utter dogshit,.

    I will pass.

    Didn’t they already do this? with Tom Cruise in 2017? Are they just wholesale dismissing the existence of that film? because honestly, fair it was shite.

    While I like the original two Mummy movies (Scorpion King was OK), I am not sure what the point of remake or continuation would be.

        On that note I’d love a Monkeybone sequel.

        I accept that it will be terrible, I just want it.

          Monkeybone wasn’t terrible!

          It wasn’t a well acted or constructed story with amazing dialogue but it set out to be an incredibly weird niche movie with a specific vibe and it nailed that vibe perfectly!

          10/10 movie in my books. It did exactly what it was planning to do.

            Oh, I agree. I just think it was lightning in a bottle that can’t be captured twice. I just want someone to prove me wrong.

    I’d watch. At least they haven’t run this one into the ground, like Star Wars, Star Trek, and MCU. Although, Andor was good. I tried watching the new Superman, and… no. I only made it about ten minutes before shutting it off. I think I’ve had my fill of superhero movies.
