In other news, porn star Riley Steele (pictured inside) landed the role of Crystal in Alex Aja’s now-filing remake of the 1978 cult, horror classic Piranha. The release tells us that she is one of the leading roles with substantial scenes, and will act alongside an all-star cast featuring Oscar nominated actress Elisabeth Shue, Oscar winner Richard Dreyfuss, Jerry O’Connell, Ving Rhames, Dina Meyer, and Kelly Brook. “It’s crystal clear that Riley Steele adds yet another dimension to ‘Piranha 3-D’,” says producer Mark Canton. “Her natural beauty will light up the screen as she frolics with the hordes of spring break partygoers in our very contemporary, scary 3-D movie.” Click the title above for more cast and a detailed synopsis.
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.
