Props from the Original ‘Hatchet’ Being Auctioned Off for “Save A Yorkie” Charity
For the second year in a row, filmmakers/friends/super cool horror fans Adam Green (Victor Crowley) and Joe Lynch (Mayhem) are hosting a 48-hour marathon this coming weekend for their Movie Crypt podcast, which runs December 8th through the 10th.
The marathon, benefiting the “Save A Yorkie” charity, will include live comedy, music, script readings, movie commentaries and conversations with top Hollywood artists.
Named after Adam’s own Yorkie, “Arwen’s Silent Auction” just launched in conjunction with the upcoming marathon as a means of generating additional donations for the charity. Most notably, auction items include screen-used props from the original Hatchet, such as a gas can, Shapiro’s camera bag and Mr. Permatteo’s wardrobe.
Other items include a jar of blood from new film Victor Crowley, dates with Adam and Joe, and tons of other goodies donated by friends and fellow filmmakers.
The podcast marathon starts this Friday at 5pm PST. If you don’t want to wait until this weekend to donate, you can do so right now through You Caring.
Brendan Fraser is back for the upcoming fourth installment in The Mummy franchise from directors Radio Silence, and Michael Johnston (Obsession) is now in talks to join him.
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know tonight that Michael Johnston is in “early talks” to join The Mummy 4, which will release in theaters on October 15, 2027 via Universal.
Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and John Hannah will reprise their iconic roles as Rick O’Connell, Evelyn O’Connell, and Jonathan Carnahan in the upcoming movie.
Radio Silence duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream 5-6) are directing from a script by David Coggeshall (Orphan: First Kill).
Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time, but the brand new sequel is expected to disregard the events of the third movie, in which Rachel Weisz did not appear.
“It’s just really beautiful and scary and sweeping, and it’s awesome,” Gillet teases. Bettinelli-Olpin adds that the film “has all of the heart and the character that you could hope for.”
A remake of the classic Universal monster movie that took an action-adventure approach, The Mummy was released in 1999 and grossed $417 million worldwide. It was followed by The Mummy Returns in 2001 and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008.
