Just saw the news that a further film is planned, and so far the 2 leads are in.
This has always been a real ‘feel good’ action film for me, with the right amount of swashbuckling, attractive actors, gold, and cheesy one-liners.

Anyone else excited for the return of our favourite librarian/reincarnation of Nefertiri and Captain Rick?

Love it!

Oh my goodness, this makes me so happy (and also slightly terrified)! I actually wrote an essay on The Mummy as part of my MA because it's one of the few films that's written with the female gaze rather than the male (along with George of the Jungle, so BF wins twice). It was also the film that made teenage me realise I might not be quite as straight as I thought I was Grin

It gets even better: the new film will carry on from the second, completely ignoring the third (the one with a different Evelyn)! Now to wait for her brother and Ardeth to also make their return…. 🤞

@CaptainCallistoThat sounds like a fascinating paper - and I can easily see why you used The Mummy as an example.

So excited! The Mummy is one of my “comfort” films, never tire of it

Whoop. Let’s hope it’s all top notch!

Yay!!

I am ridiculously excited for this, for me its the perfect combination of action, comedy and also with a good dose of mythology. I've been obsessed with ancient Egypt since I was a small child, plus I love Brendan Fraser, he just seems like such a good guy, I'd be heartbroken if he turned out to be an arsehole

I absolutely bloody love this! (The Mummy in 1999 settled my bisexuality once and for all Grin)
My favourite film. So much fun.

Oh I’m very excited about this! The original is a favourite in our house.

We actually really enjoyed the Tom Cruise one as well.

Thank God RW will be back !! I'm still traumatised by rubbish Maria Bello with the brown contact lenses in 'TOTDE'
