That's actually quite disappointing! I was really looking forward to a horrific retelling of this story!
As a huge horror fan, I am disappointed too. But I'm guessing the box office bomb that was Wolfman scared them off of that route.

I have a hard time believing one movie turned them off from taking another stab...at least I can only hope. Having seen the Mummy of the 90's makes me wonder what else they could really do to make it different?
True. But I'm sure it at least figured in some of their decision making.
And yes, I agree. How are they going to differentiate this from the '90s version if they are doing another family-friendly adventure? My guess is that it won't be a period film, and the plot will be situated in present day. Which is a shame, since it would lose a lot of its charm.
It's a natural for him. Scientology is like a Universal sci fi film, aliens and all that. The founder was probably watching one of those films when he came up with his bizarro concept.Can't take Tom seriously after the Docu on Scientology I watched the other day!

It doesn't in as much as it won't stop me seeing the film.Idk, his personal life shouldn't affect how you view him as an actor. He's masterful at his craft and fun to watch. I'm sure this will be a great flick. That said, I can't wait to see what he brings to this film as an actor.
Plot Synopsis: “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.”
I'm a HUGE fan of the Classic Monsters, and I've been highly skeptical of Universal's seemingly dead-set desire to turn them into action tentpole franchises, but... I like Tom Cruise, I'm intrigued by the addition of Jekyll/Hyde (not a character traditionally associated with the Classic Monsters from Universal), and the synopsis implies there's going to be at least some degree of genuine macabre and mythological stuff in addition to whatever action spectacle might be included, too. So I'll be approaching THE MUMMY, at least, with an open mind.
Either way, I like what we're seeing so far. I'm excitedThe inside look made me more hyped for the film than the first trailer. They should have switched them
