What's Happening?
Brendan Fraser has expressed his enthusiasm for a new installment in The Mummy franchise, stating that 'The Mummy 4' is the film he has wanted to make for 20 years. Universal is developing the project
with Fraser set to return alongside directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. Fraser reflects on the previous films, noting the unique blend of adventure and fun that characterized the series. He criticizes the 2017 reboot starring Tom Cruise for lacking the thrill and fun of the original films.
Why It's Important?
The announcement of 'The Mummy 4' is significant for fans of the franchise and the adventure film genre. Fraser's return could rejuvenate interest in the series, which has been dormant since 2008. The involvement of directors known for their work on 'Ready or Not' and the 'Scream' franchise suggests a fresh approach to the beloved series. The film's development may impact Universal's strategy in reviving classic franchises and influence the adventure film market.
