It’s been virtually a decade since we’ve had a giant mummy film, and that was when Common tried to relaunch its horror monsters by the Darkish Universe and its single entry, The Mummy. Since then, the studio’s targeted on different monsters like Dracula and males of the invisible and wolf varities. However when you’ve been wanting the mummified undead to make a cinematic return, Blumhouse might have your repair with a model new Mummy flick.
This new film will come courtesy of Lee Cronin, director-writer of final yr’s Evil Dead Rise. Within the quick press launch, Cronin teased his movie as “not like any Mummy film you ever laid eyeballs on earlier than. I’m digging deep into the earth to boost one thing very historic and really scary.” The movie might be co-produced by Cronin’s Doppelgängers firm, Jason Blum’s Blumhouse (which has Wolf Man arriving in only a few weeks), and James Wan’s Atomic Monster banner, which has The Monkey and M3GAN 2.0 lined up for 2025.
