The return of Brendan Fraser It has surprised us in the big leagues (since it has come with Oscar incorporated, thanks to The whale) and above all he has made us happy, because it is always a pleasure to have him around showing off his bonhomie. So Fraser has also starred since then Rental Family and, above all, he has agreed to lead a late sequel to the great public phenomenon that he starred in at the end of the 90s, The mummy.
In this adventure film directed by Stephen Sommers (what has become of him?), Fraser played an arrogant adventurer in the purest Indiana Jones traditionRick O’Connell. They accompanied him Rachel Weisz like Evelyn and John Hannah like her brother, Jonathan, at the helm of a film that had great success in 1999, leading to two sequels.
Actors and director returned to The return of the mummy in 2001 but not so for the third, The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. In this case Sommers was replaced by Rob Cohen and Weisz for Maria Bello in the role of Evelyn. It was not a very appreciated film.
But now Fraser wants to remove that bad taste from our mouths: Weisz is coming back in The mummy 4 alongside Hannah, while he is in charge of directing the duo Radio Silence. This is, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillettcoming from the sagas of wedding night and Scream.
The film is already in development and Fraser has given some new details in an interview for The Tonight Show. “Well, let’s get the team back together. It’s the only way to do it. So we’ll give the public what you have been asking of us for the last twenty-something years.”
The mummy It is a very important saga for Fraser. “I held out hope for a long time, and then I thought ‘I don’t know if they will’. Later, other films were made The mummy. But hey, what we’re going to do is get back to work, go back to the filming locations… Maybe I should stop talking like that, because I don’t want to reveal everything.”
All this return, on the other hand, entails difficulties, and that is that Fraser is much older than at the end of the 90s. “However, please, wish me luck. “I’m doing everything possible to get this 57-year-old body in shape,” he asks the presenter. Jimmy Fallon.
Universal Pictures wants to brand new The mummy 4 he May 19, 2028when the premiere of another is only a happy memory Mummy (The Mummy of Lee Cronin) that terrifies us right now on the current billboard.
