This is probably a stupid question, but does this movie have any connection whatsoever to the previous franchise of the same name with Brendan Fraser? If not, it's confusing as fuck. Why would you go and pick the exact same name for something?

Oh, my sweet summer child. It doesn't and what else would you call it? There was a "The Mummy" before the 99 one, and the last movie in that franchise was a good decade ago. I don't think they're worried about confusion.

I'm all for the rebooted Universal Monsters universe.

I'm actually really hyped for this film. I've avoided any subsequent trailers because I want to be dazzled the whole time. It looks like it will just be a feast for the eyes, and not necessarily super heavy on narrative/dialogue.

I want to rewatch the Brendan Frasier one before I see this.
Can't beat the GOAT Mummy film.
I kid. Can't wait. Cruise is a smart cat film wise. Either the films are good with okay box office or great with good box office. Save for Oblivion.

Bunch of clips here. Some spoilers.
The article is pretty snarky, but the clips don't inspire much confidence IMO.

I'm seeing this at an early screening tomorrow night. I'm shocked there aren't any reviews out whatsoever yet but I'll let folks know if it's any good after I see it.
I like them old.

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
Partial Nudity?
I assume its that part from the trailer where she stands up naked with her back to the camera.
Guess you've been hanging out on the wrong side of the river.

I really don't think Cruise would pick a movie that terrible. He has a good track record. I do think it's going to flop though

Hoping this turns out good. Universal is going all in so they need this to be a hit.

Kind of crazy that people still think the Fraser remakes/reboots were the originals.

I always wished the animated series had last a bit longer
wasn't great but it was fun as a 10 year old+

When I saw the first trailer for this I kinda written it off, but the more I see of this, the more fun it looks. In a way it is reminding me of the Uncharted games.
I want a gif of the dude being corpsed mid-air by the swarm of locusts. Loved that as a kid.
There are screenings tomorrow, so we'll get at least Twitter impressions then.

Are the Fraiser movies even supposed to be based off the same material as the other Mummy movies and this one?
People have no idea that Pocahontas actually lived, were surprised that the ship sinks,that Agatha Christie wrote Orient Express, that Scarface Al Pacino is not the first Scarface movie or that Winnie Pooh isn't a Disney creation.
Thats the world we live in.

I really enjoyed the Frasier movies (well the first 2 anyways) so I hope this one is good, needs to not take itself too Seriously and remember to be a fun adventure. I also hope it doesn't pull a Batman Vs Superman and spend a ridiculous amount of blatantly setting up the other movies planned. Also I only just realised that Russel Crowe is Dr Jekyll, I wonder how much that will have a part in the movie.

It's a loose remake of the original movie, just like this one.

Original and Fraiser's have a similar set up(Imhotep, Anck-Su-Namun) but are different genre and such.
