I don't need a new Mummy movie. But I might need a new Brendan Fraser Mummy movie.

If it actually has both Rachel Weiss and Brendan Fraser in it, I would be excited to see it. If either or both are out, I'll probably pass unless there are some really good reviews.

C'mon, studio. Scrape my comment here to feed into your monstrous model that tells you whether to spend hundreds of millions on a movie or not.

I'm all for a Brendan Fraser + Rachel Weisz movie, but why do we need a mummy? How about a completely unconnected original story?

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 11 points 10 hours ago

I loved the first one, liked the second one until the final hideousness with The Rock. The third one was utter dogshit,.

I will pass.

Didn't they already do this? with Tom Cruise in 2017? Are they just wholesale dismissing the existence of that film? because honestly, fair it was shite.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 8 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

No, because that movie didn’t bisexually awaken a single person.

Time for my TRIsexual awakeningoh people already say that, they say "trYsexual as in I'll try anything", now it's just gross

While I like the original two Mummy movies (Scorpion King was OK), I am not sure what the point of remake or continuation would be.

[–] Maven@piefed.blahaj.zone 30 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

The point is that I want Brendan Fraser to have more money and I love him

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

On that note I'd love a Monkeybone sequel.

I accept that it will be terrible, I just want it.

[–] Maven@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Monkeybone wasn't terrible!

It wasn't a well acted or constructed story with amazing dialogue but it set out to be an incredibly weird niche movie with a specific vibe and it nailed that vibe perfectly!

10/10 movie in my books. It did exactly what it was planning to do.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Oh, I agree. I just think it was lightning in a bottle that can't be captured twice. I just want someone to prove me wrong.

Thats about the only reason I perked up when I saw the headline.

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

Making money for the IP owner.

What is the point of any book, movie, song, piece of art?

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I'd watch. At least they haven't run this one into the ground, like Star Wars, Star Trek, and MCU. Although, Andor was good. I tried watching the new Superman, and... no. I only made it about ten minutes before shutting it off. I think I've had my fill of superhero movies.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 9 points 10 hours ago

The 3rd one was shit, but mostly because Rachel Weisz wasn't in it.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 hours ago

Yes the have run it into the ground. I guess you never tried the Scorpion King crap.
