apparently a new Mummy movie is coming out later this year. titled "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor". apparently rick o'connell and his son, alex o'connell uncover the mummy of the first emperor of Qin. while the movie is bringing back brendan fraser as rick, unfortunately it seems they have replaced evie's actor rachel weiz with maria bello. for all u hardcore mummy fans out there, it seems they're going in a completely different direction with the story (china?) if u didnt like the previous mummy movies, it might b a nice change of pace, but to me it looks like this movie is going to crash and burn. thoughts anyone?

Well, I thougt the earlier movies were terrible

And the plot synopsis on http://www.imdb.com :

"In the Far East, trouble-seeking father-and-son duo Rick (Fraser) and Alex O'Connell (Ford) unearth the mummy of the first Emperor of Qin (Li) -- a shape-shifting entity who was cursed by a wizard (Yeoh) centuries ago."

Sounds dumb. Another "magical being rises from the dead and terrorizes people until the hero wins" kind of movie"

In my humble opinion...

I honestly thought that they weren't gonna come out with a third ever since Brendan Fraser a.k.a. "Pudding Face" went into his midlife crisis. But, I guess I was wrong. And with the Rachel Weisz thing, I can understand it. She's become a big Oscar-winning/nominating actress ever since she broke out with the first Mummy. She's gone on to bigger and better things.

Chinesse didnt make mummies?? (how do u people write about lot of Mummy??? ) so why is it called The Mummy when the only thing which wasn't changed are names of main heroes?

ooh ick. im not sure if i exactly trust that one to carry on the name of the series.
