Tom Cruise headlines a spectacular, all-new cinematic version of the legend that has fascinated cultures all over the world since the dawn of civilization: The Mummy.
The idea that The Mummy will balance “wonder and thrills” seems to confirm that the filmmakers will be embracing the action and adventure aspects over a subtler, more claustrophobic horror style.
Russell Crowe is in talks to possibly play Dr. Jekyll in The Mummy, which could lead to his own solo movie or at least future appearances in the franchise.
The new version of the story takes place in the present day, and is being constructed as more of a “dark superhero action/adventure” than a straightforward horror film.
