More New Footage in Another Mini Trailer for ‘The Mummy’

Published

She will not stop until she has remade our world into her own.

The new trailer for The Mummy was unleashed over the weekend, and we’ve received a TON of comments about it. Some of you guys think it looks like a fun action-horror flick, while others are none too happy about the decision to reboot iconic horror movies as, well, action movies. But hey. We could do worse than The Mummy being rebooted as a Tom Cruise action film!

Just spotted over on Twitter, another one-minute long trailer has been uploaded by Universal, and it’s home to some new footage that wasn’t in any of the previous trailers. The new footage delves a bit deeper into Prodigium, a research facility that examines and destroys monsters; the facility is seemingly run by Dr. Henry Jekyll, being played by Russell Crowe.

Even more interesting is the clip at the very end of the trailer, which appears to be some kind of spoiler. The titular monster seems to transform Tom Cruise’s Nick Morton into a mummy, as we see the pupil in one of his eyeballs split into two. Of course, this could just be a dream sequence or something like that. Though many have speculated that Cruise will become the new Mummy.

It’s also been speculated that Cruise will turn out to be our new Van Helsing, which seems a whole lot more likely. We’ll find out on June 9. Check out the new footage below.

Tom Cruise is joined in the Universal reboot by a cast including Sofia Boutella (Kingsman: The Secret Service, Star Trek Beyond), Annabelle Wallis (AnnabelleKing ArthurPeaky Blinders), Jake Johnson (Jurassic World), Russell Crowe and Courtney B. Vance (TV’s “American Crime Story: The People V. O.J. Simpson”).

Thought safely entombed in a crypt deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient queen 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.

The creative team is led by director/producer Alex Kurtzman and producer Chris Morgan, who have been instrumental in growing some of the most successful franchises of the past several years—with Kurtzman writing or producing entries in the TransformersStar Trek and Mission: Impossible series, and Morgan being the narrative engineer of the Fast & Furious saga as it has experienced explosive growth from its third chapter on. Sean Daniel, who produced the most recent Mummy trilogy, produces alongside Kurtzman and Morgan.

Steven Spielberg to Produce ‘The Mandela Catalogue’ Movie Based on Viral YouTube Series

Published

on

Hollywood is serious about landing the next Backrooms. Hot on the heels of a Siren Head feature announcement, Deadline reports that a new movie based on viral YouTube series The Mandela Catalogue is in development.

It also has some Hollywood heavy hitters behind it.

Amblin Entertainment’s Steven Spielberg, United Artists’ Scott Stuber (Frankenstein), and Amazon MGM Studios are set to produce, emerging victorious after a highly competitive 11-studio bidding war.

Launched in 2021, the YouTube series is set in the fictional Mandela County, Wisconsin which is “invaded by shape-shifting, nearly immortal creatures called Alternates. The Alternates are led by a false depiction of the Archangel Gabriel and their aim is to wipe out the human race by psychologically torturing them to the point of suicide. The Alternates are known for manipulating AV media, TVs, computers and GPS systems.”

The movie will be directed by the series’ creator, Alex Kister, based on a screenplay he adapted with Tyler Clifton.

The Mandela Catalogue has racked up an impressive 100 million views across its official episodes alone, solidifying it as one of the largest original analog horror franchises on YouTube.

Spielberg and Holly Bario are producing for Amblin Entertainment alongside Aaron B. Koontz for Paper Street Pictures and Stuber and Nick Nesbitt for United Artists. Kister and Clifton are also producing. Annie McCreery will oversee the project for United Artists. Maria Fortese will oversee for Amblin.
