Whilst being less culturally influencial than its predecessors Dracula and Frankenstein, The Mummy was still a moderate success, spawning several sequels, spin-offs, remakes, and reimaginings. The Mummy blended the archeological adventure of Indiana Jones with the forbidden supernatural dread. Fraser is his usual charming self, but it is Weiss’ Evie that has stood the test of time: intelligent, self-assured, her femininity never negates from her strength. Highly rewatchable, the movie is a cult classic. In January 2007, Universal announced Sommers would not direct the third film. It was then announced that Universal entered talks with director Rob Cohen to take over directing duties. [11] Later in the month, the story was revealed to center around Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz's characters, as well as their adult son. Negotiations with the actors were in progress at that time. [12] In February, casting began for the role of Alex O'Connell. Additionally, John Hannah reprised his role as Jonathan. [2] Also in that month, Cohen mentioned that Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh would star in the film although the official confirmation wasn't published until May. [13] [14] It's always difficult for brainless action movies to hold up over time. It's incredibly rare that such films can stand more than a decade or so without feeling too silly. The Mummy, which was made nearly 2 decades ago, definitely falls under this category. With a dumb script, exaggerated acting, dated CGI, and a dopey tone, 1999's version of The Mummy is a cable movie at best. Peter Normanton (2018). It Crept From The Tomb: The Best of From The Tomb, Volume 2. TwoMorrows Publishing. ISBN 978-1605490816 . Retrieved 13 October 2020.Michael Fleming (May 13, 2007). "Bello replaces Weisz in 'Mummy' ". Variety . Retrieved May 13, 2007. The Mummy has been decried for " othering" Eastern culture, especially portraying it as being more primitive and superstitious than Western culture. In one scene, Helen Grosvenor longs for the "real" ( Classical) Egypt, disparaging that she is in contemporary Islamic Egypt. This is viewed by critic Caroline T. Schroeder as a slight against Islamic culture at the time. [21] However, it is clear that Helen longs to be in Ancient Egypt (but does not know why) because she had been reincarnated, living in present day, but had originally lived in Ancient Egypt. The Mummy is a 1932 American pre-Code supernatural horror film directed by Karl Freund. The screenplay by John L. Balderston was adapted from a treatment written by Nina Wilcox Putnam and Richard Schayer. Released by Universal Studios as a part of the Universal Classic Monsters franchise, the film stars Boris Karloff, Zita Johann, David Manners, Edward Van Sloan and Arthur Byron. Patel, Samir S.
