The Mummy 4 Is Actually Happening?

[Gradine]

"There is within me an unslaked hunger for preposterous adventure movies. I resist the bad ones, but when a “Congo” or an “Anaconda” comes along, my heart leaps up and I cave in. “The Mummy” is a movie like that. There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased. There is a little immaturity stuck away in the crannies of even the most judicious of us, and we should treasure it."
-Roger Ebert on "The Mummy (1999)"

The Mummy ... the kids.

A good movie would be great, but IMO it's time to hand the baton to younger actors.

Two thoughts, Am I the only one here in the right age bracket to have seen the animated series post-Mummy Returns?

And, will they return to Egypt for this sequel? Or are they going after Atacama desert mummies? The mummies of Guanajuato?

No. those actors are younger than me, don’t be so quick to discard people.

Nope, I saw it and quite enjoyed it.

No one said you had to be a kid to enjoy cartoons!

They don’t have a script yet so no one knows. However, it would be about the time of the Suez crisis, so they would either have to write a script dealing with a complex political situation, or go elsewhere. Given the involvement of Israel in that, I think political expedience will send them elsewhere.

Let John Carpenter write and direct it.
Mummies of Venus!

I didn’t even realize they made an animated series!
