Get ready for a thrilling comeback! Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, the dynamic duo from the original Mummy movies, are rumored to be returning for a fourth installment, and it's a development that has us all buzzing!
Imagine this: just a short while ago, we shared an exclusive interview with Oded Fehr, their co-star, who hinted at their potential involvement. And now, it seems that hint was more than just a tease!
The Mummy 4: A Shocking Reunion
According to the latest scoop from Deadline, Fraser and Weisz are in serious talks with Universal to revive their iconic roles. But here's where it gets controversial...
The project is still shrouded in secrecy, but we do know that David Coggeshall, the writer behind 'The Family Plan', is crafting the script. And get this, Radio Silence, the directors behind the successful 'Scream' franchise reboot, are set to take the helm, replacing Stephen Sommers, the original director of the first two Mummy films.
For Weisz, this marks a long-awaited return to the franchise. She last donned the role of Evelyn O'Connell in 2001, and since then, the character has been portrayed by Maria Bello in the third installment. On the other hand, Fraser, who played the adventurous Rick O'Connell, has always expressed his desire to revisit this beloved franchise, which was a blockbuster sensation in its time.
Universal has attempted several reboots, with the most recent one starring Tom Cruise in 2017, which unfortunately bombed at the box office, putting an end to their ambitious 'Dark Universe' plans.
However, it seems like the studio is not giving up on the Mummy universe just yet. There's even a low-budget Mummy movie directed by Lee Cronin that's already in the can, but recent rumors suggest it might be getting a new title and detaching itself from the franchise.
This news about Fraser and Weisz's potential return is certainly exciting. They brought a certain charm and charisma to those classic adventure films, and it's easy to imagine them picking up right where they left off, maybe even passing the torch to a new generation of heroes.
Radio Silence's involvement is an interesting twist. They've proven their mettle with the 'Scream' franchise, and with their 'Ready or Not' sequel recently wrapped, they're bringing their unique vision to this iconic series.
So, are you ready for The Mummy 4? What do you think about this potential reunion? Do you think it's a brilliant move or a risky venture? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
Get ready for an adventure like no other!
