New Trailer for 'The Mummy Returns' - 25th Anniversary Re-Release

"Ohhhh I hate mummies..." Universal Pictures has debuted a quick new trailer to celebrate the upcoming 25th Anniversary re-release of Stephen Sommers' action sequel The Mummy Returns, the two-years-later follow-up to 1999's brilliant The Mummy with Brendan Fraser. This sequel opened in May 2001 and was a huge hit that year at the box office. "A gleeful ode to the spirit of Saturday morning serials the PG-13 adventure was filled with bombast and eye-popping visual effects." After the events of the first movie, the mummified body of Imhotep is shipped to a museum in London, where he once again wakes and begins his campaign of rage and terror. This sequel also introduced the world to Dwayne Johnson in the form of the Scorpion King, who would also later go on to get his own (much worse) prequel called The Scorpion King in 2002 right after. The Mummy Returns sequel stars Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, Arnold Vosloo, Oded Fehr, Patricia Velasquez (all from the first movie), plus Freddie Boath, Alun Armstrong, Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock at the time, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Shaun Parkes. In my opinion, this is a huge step down from the first movie, but still fun in its own cheesy ways. Have fun. // Continue Reading ›
