‘The Mummy’ Heads Home in September; Art and Details

Published

on

Universal’s Dark Universe got off to a rocky start with last month’s The Mummy, which under-performed at the box office and was slammed by critics. If you missed it, or desire to watch it again, you’ll be happy to know that it’s already headed home next month.

We’ve just learned that the Alex Kurtzman-directed reboot will be available on digital August 22nd, followed by a 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, and On Demand release on September 12th. You’ll find art and details below.

In The Mummy, 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.

“Thought safely entombed in a tomb deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient princess (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.”
