Its been almost a decade since weve had a big mummy movie, and that was when Universal tried to relaunch its horror monsters through the Dark Universe and its single entry, The Mummy. Since then, the studios focused on other monsters like Dracula and men of the invisible and wolf varities. But if youve been wanting the mummified undead to make a cinematic return, Blumhouse may have your fix with a brand new Mummyflick. This new movie will come courtesy of Lee Cronin, director-writer of last years Evil Dead Rise.In the short press release, Cronin teased his film as unlike any Mummy movie you ever laid eyeballs on before. Im digging deep into the earth to raise something very ancient and very frightening. The film will be co-produced by Cronins Doppelgngers company, Jason Blums Blumhouse (which has Wolf Man arriving in just a few weeks), and James Wans Atomic Monster banner, which has The MonkeyandM3GAN 2.0lined up for 2025. Notably, this upcomingMummymovie isnt from Universal, who distributed the failed 2017 reboot and cult-beloved Brendan Fraser-led ones of the 90s. Instead, this new film is from New Line, which previously teamed with Cronin on Riseand worked with Atomic Monster on theConjuringand recentMortal Kombatfilms.
