That looked fucking terrible, but at least those Cruise screams were hysterical

Also, another reminder of what we all let happen

Wow what happened to him? He seems rather depressed and nearly forcing himself to laugh :(

The vomit comet scene looked really brutal and intense. Honest to god last week I was thinking about how Cruise should try to stage an action scene in MI6 in it.

Not too hot on the rest of the trailer. It felt like the marketers were "oh shit, we have to sell the story too?"
 
The original mummy was an instant classic. It will go down as one of the most watchable movies of all time.

This looks like your standard Hollywood movie fare - generic and forgettable with set pieces and explosions thrown just to keep you awake.
 
The reactions in this thread really make me wonder what people had to say about the Mummy (1999) that were huge fans of the Karloff Mummy.
 
London gets wiped out again eh?
Anyway, seen worse but really it's not needed is it? I mean our hunger for mindless entertainment baffles me sometimes. Some films may elevate us to some sense of connection or awareness but so, so often these films (I find) lacking in any meaningful purpose except creating revenue.
Dumb fun, but ultimately futile. Which is fine, apparently.

There were 67 years between the two films. I doubt that the Karloff fans were many or particularly vocal at that point.

Besides, as a property the idea of the Egyptian Mummy has never really been out of use in contemporary film & TV .

And nowhere is that better illustrated than by the presence of Russell Crowe, the man who says that line. Although Crowe’s suited, booted and bearded character isn’t named in the trailer, Kurtzman has confirmed a long-standing rumour: that he’s actually Dr. Henry Jekyll. Yes, Robert Louis Stevenson’s tortured doctor, who famously has something of an identity crisis. But thinking of him as merely the Nick Fury – or Furry – of this new franchise is not entirely accurate.

“He’s the voice that begins to tell us the history of monsters,” says Kurtzman. “He’s part of an organisation that’s been studying that. I’ll use ‘studying’ as a very loose term. They’ve been doing a lot of things in relation to monsters. One reason that he’s there is that the audience is going to need an introduction into this world, so who’s that going to be from?”

But there’s also bite to Jekyll’s bark. Again, not seen in the trailer but confirmed by Kurtzman is a fight scene between Morton and the doctor that took four days to shoot, while Jekyll’s movitations are fairly sketchy. “As a character, Nick has several paths he can go on – are you going to be the good version of yourself or the bad version? Are you going to be the human or the monster? That also describes Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde, so suddenly there was a reason for that character to exist in relation to Nick Morton. Henry Jekyll has been where Nick is going.”

And if Jekyll’s around, can we expect his alter-ego to make an appearance? Will Jekyll Hyde-out? “I would certainly hope so,” grins Kurtzman.

I just found out that this is a reboot of the classic one, not the 2000s movies, so my excitement for this went from zero to through the roof. That's so fucking cool. I'm so down for a Universal Cinematic Universe.

Give me that Creature from the Black Lagoon.
 
No thanks. It just looks like a vehicle to make Tom Cruise a super hero. He dies then wakes up invulnerable, or a God, or something.

Honestly, I'd go see it if not for Cruise.
 
Is this a reboot/sequel of the mummy movies with Brendan Frazer or just a generic mummy movie? In any case it looks bad honestly, at least in previous movies there was some humor.

This voice in my head had been saying ‘make it a woman, make it a woman’, and it opened up a huge world of possibilities, and allowed us to ask some very relevant questions. How different is it for a woman then, versus now? What would it be like for her to enter our world and see what’s become of five thousand years on this planet?”

lol she's a fucking mummy monster. This sounds ridiculous.
 
They posted an inside look featurette, loaded with new footage, and it looks way more interesting than what the trailer showed.

Some good news: Dracula Untold is not canon.

At least it wasn't modern day, though.
