Love it or hate it, the original The Mummy franchise was a big earner for Universal. The franchise grossed over $1.25 billion over the course of three films, and the studio planned on rebooting it in the hopes of similar success with Total Recall director Len Wiseman. His take looked set to be a lot less camp than those films, with him at one point describing it as: "It’s horror. Its epic. It’s more of a modern day version of what would happen if we came across a mummy in our world today. It is pretty fascinating." Unfortunately, scheduling issues have led to Wiseman leaving the project - penned by Jon Spaihts - so the search for a new director is set to begin immediately.
