Universal is bringing back Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz for a new 'The Mummy' film that continues their story from the original 1999 and 2001 movies, ignoring subsequent sequels, with a new director and writer, exciting fans of the franchise.
Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are in talks to star in a new 'Mummy' movie directed by Radio Silence, aiming to continue the franchise with a sequel that disregards the third film, produced by Sean Daniel and others, reviving the popular adventure-horror series.
Universal Pictures is in talks to reboot The Mummy franchise with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz potentially returning, directed by Radio Silence, as the studio aims to capitalize on nostalgia and revitalize its monster movie universe.
Reboots can sometimes surpass the originals, as seen in the success of movies like X-Men: First Class, which revived the failing franchise, Star Trek, which attracted a wider audience, Top Gun: Maverick, which brings back the old-school action, The Mummy, which turned a horror film into a classic adventure, and Ocean's Eleven, which became iconic and spawned sequels and spinoffs.
Rachel Weisz's cinematic career has become increasingly queer over time, with recent roles including a lesbian queen in The Favourite, a rebellious queer photographer in Disobedience, and a sensuous portrayal of herself in Dead Ringers. Weisz's movies have always had a gay undertone, with her character in The Mummy being a chaotically hot librarian who believes in reincarnation, and her character in Definitely, Maybe being a bisexual journalist who loves show tunes.
