New Mummy Film Promises Pure Terror, Not Action
18 Feb
Summary
- New Mummy film shifts focus from action to pure horror.
- A young girl returns years after disappearing in the desert.
- The film is slated for release on April 17, 2026.
Lee Cronin, director of "Evil Dead Rise," is set to deliver a radically different "The Mummy" experience. This new standalone film, scheduled for release on April 17, 2026, will eschew the action-adventure tone of previous iterations for unadulterated horror.
The narrative centers on Katie, a girl who vanished in the desert years ago. Her sudden reappearance eight years later marks the beginning of a chilling descent into terror for her family. Questions arise about her time spent in an ancient sarcophagus.
Early glimpses reveal a disturbing transformation in Katie, hinting at an ancient evil. This reimagining aligns with recent Blumhouse productions reviving classic monsters, promising a frightening and unique take on the iconic Mummy legend.
"The Mummy" is a collaboration between New Line Cinema, Atomic Monster, and Blumhouse Productions. The film stars Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, Verónica Falcón, Natalie Grace, and May Calamawy.
