There is a brand-new movie titled “The Mummy” hitting cinemas on April 17, but you should know that it does not feature Brendan Fraser. It is easy to see why so many people are currently mixed up, especially since there has been so much buzz surrounding the actual return of Fraser to the franchise that made him a global superstar.
The new film, officially titled Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, is taking a very different approach compared to the action-adventure romps you might remember from the late 90s and early 2000s. Instead of the treasure hunting and lighthearted, Indiana Jones-style spirit that defined the original trilogy, this version is leaning heavily into body horror and supernatural possession.
