Get ready for a blockbuster revelation! The iconic duo, Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, are set to make a stunning comeback in The Mummy 4, and it's a development that's sure to send shockwaves through the movie industry.
In a recent exclusive interview, Oded Fehr, a co-star from the original Mummy movies, hinted at this exciting possibility. And now, it's official! Deadline has confirmed that Fraser and Weisz are in negotiations with Universal to reprise their roles for the fourth installment of this beloved franchise.
But here's where it gets controversial... While the project is still shrouded in secrecy, we know that David Coggeshall, the writer behind 'The Family Plan', is crafting the script. And get this, Radio Silence, the directors behind the successful 'Scream' franchise reboot, are taking the helm, replacing the original director, Stephen Sommers.
For Weisz, this marks her first return to the role of Evelyn O'Connell since the second film in 2001. Brendan Fraser, on the other hand, has been vocal about his desire to return to the franchise, which was a massive box office success during its time.
Universal has attempted several reboots, with the most recent one starring Tom Cruise in 2017, which unfortunately failed miserably and put an end to their 'Dark Universe' plans.
There's also a low-budget 'Mummy' movie directed by Lee Cronin that's already been filmed, but recent rumors suggest it might be retitled and disconnected from the franchise. Given the latest news, this seems like a plausible turn of events.
This announcement is truly thrilling, as Fraser and Weisz brought a unique charm to those classic adventure films. With Radio Silence at the directing helm, we can expect a fresh take on the franchise, perhaps even introducing a new generation of adventurers.
