The Mummy is currently touring all across the world and while reviews and reactions are embargoed until next week, some early buzz has slipped through on Twitter and has been pretty positive, which could mean we may be in for quite the treat come next week.
Global megastar Tom Cruise headlines this first installment in Universal's burgeoning Dark Universe with a supporting cast that contains Sofia Boutella, Annabelle Wallis, Jake Johnson, Courtney B. Vance, and Russell Crowe.
Alex Kurtzman (People Like Us) directed the monster movie with a script from David Koepp (Spider-Man; Jurassic Park), Christopher McQuarrie (Mission: Impossible 6), and Dylan Kussman (The Steps).
Yesterday, as part of the weekly #MummyMondays marketing campaign, SyfyWire released another cool new featurette for the upcoming movie, this time shining a spotlight on the beautiful locations and masterfully constructed sets that helped bring this epic story to life. Check it out below:
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.
Thought safely entombed in a crypt deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient queen (Sofia Boutella of Kingsman: The Secret Service and Star Trek Beyond) whose destiny was unjustly taken from her is awakened in our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension.
From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters.
