Wait, another mummy movie? While it is still less than 10 years since Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008, this new movie has nothing to do with that series and serves as a remake of the original 1932 movie. The timing is still a little off but I’m willing to give Tom Cruise a chance. Of course there’s a mummy involved somewhere when an ancient princess named Ahmanet (Sofia Boutella) is awakened from her crypt beneath the desert, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia, and terrors that defy human comprehension. The most interesting thing about this is that the movie will serve as a start of a Universal monster movie universe featuring the likes of Dracula and more. I can’t wait to see where that goes. The Mummy releases June 9th, 2017.
