Brendan Fraser TEASES Fans With NEW 'The Mummy 4' Update..
Welcome back to Action Frenzy. A recent update on the possibility of The Mummy 4 has teased the ultimate movie for Brendan Fraser's comeback, who played the daring protagonist Rick O’Connell in the original movie. The Mummy was initially a remake of the 1932 film of the same name that was produced in 1999, but quickly took on a life of its own and launched two sequels. Brendan Fraser is still largely known for his role in the series, which took place throughout the late 90s and into the early 2000s. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor was released in 2008, and around that time Brendan Fraser largely disappeared from Hollywood because of behind-the-scenes issues.
Beyond the cultural alignment of Fraser’s return to the big screen and 90s nostalgia, The Mummy 4 could have an opening to production based on Fraser’s availability. In an interview for The Whale, the actor said that he would be interested in revisiting the series. “I don’t know how it would work,” Fraser said, “But I’d be open to it if someone came up with the right conceit.” While the right conceit might be mutable, the actor's insight is correct that a strong pitch would be needed for another mummy movie or a spin-off where Fraser fights classic monsters to be successful. Brendan Fraser also acknowledged that if The Mummy 4 were to become a reality, it would need to lean more towards action and fun as opposed to the horror elements present in some monster films. In related news, When the franchise was rebooted in 2017, it was Tom Cruise who took on the challenge of playing the lead in the Mummy film. However, the movie performed poorly at the box office -- leading all plans for more films in the Dark Universe series to be canceled -- and Fraser explains why he believes the reboot flopped. “It is hard to make that movie,” he says. “The ingredient that we had going for our Mummy, which I didn’t see in that film, was fun. That was what was lacking in that incarnation. It was too much of a straight-ahead horror movie. The Mummy should be a thrill ride, but not terrifying and scary.”
