[This is probably going to suck] Jet Li is....THE MUMMY.

What do you call a Mummy movie that does not include Rachel Weisz, Oded Fehr, or Arnold Vosloo? Or even Egypt for that matter?
The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.


That's right. Only two actors from the first movies are coming back: Brendan Fraser and John Hannah. It is going to be set in China.


And they're Indiana Jones-ing it, too.
It'll take place in 1946....so little Alex O'Connell is being played by a 26 year old actor.


So Jet Li is the evil mummified Emperor who kicks Brendan Frasers ass for a few minutes until he is defeated.

And you know....I feel kind of cheated. Long before the whole Crystal Skull thing....I was hoping Indiana Jones 4 that would have roughly the same plot.
But with Lao Che and the ashes of Ni Hachi.

 

Mmmmmm... Arnold Vosloo. Nothing like a South African to play an Egyptian mummy.

 

Gonna suck without Rachel Weisz. Period.

 

And Oded Fehr. As much as I love John Hannah, this isn't gonna end well.

 

Oh please God no

 

I refuse to see a Mummy movie that doesn't have Oded Fehr on basic principle alone.

 

I love John Hannah , and Oded Kehr was awesome too..gonna be bad.

 

Rachel Weisz is seriously cute. I can't imagine that her absense will enchance the film.

We should start a petition.

Anyone else wanna sign?

 

I will.

 

It would be cooler if Brendan reprised his role from Crash as the District Attorney of LA.

 

It would be cool if Brenden reprised his role from that Devil movie as that guy getting wishes from the Devil.

 

Maria Bello > Rachel Weisz.

Looks-wise, at least.

 

You are dead to me JKH.

QFT

 

I refuse to see a Mummy movie without the sweet deliciousness of Rachel Weisz.

 

*fixed*

 

Wossamatta?

Weisz has the whole cute-but-nerdy thing going on, while Bello is a full-blown MIL(I don't think this last letter is TOS friendly).

 

I think we can take the word "probably" out of this thread title.

 

Aye.

I say we should riot.

Quick, find something to set on fire!

 

Set a fire in your flesh.

 

I don't see why you all are so up in arms. It's not like the first two were all that great, either.

On the plus side, they did hire the guy who did the music for Ghostbusters II and Billy Madison to write the score, so you can bet it'll be every bit as good as Goldsmith and Silvestri's contributions to the series.

 

On the contrary, the first Mummy from 1999 was excellent.

 

Excellent, yes it was and very funny.

 

I love the scene where Imhotep is approaching Benny with the intent of killing him, and Benny pulls out the cross hanging around his neck, saying a quick prayer.

Seeing that it had no effect, he quickly reaches for his little statues of Buddha. When that doesn't work, he pulls out the Star of David
