The trailer without music or sound effects was the most interesting part of this movie. It gives a glimpse of how editing works to people who don't know anything about editing.

[@MegiddoTheImmaculate]

Jofe_co I had never heard of that one so I'm off to find it. Good thing Honest Trailers doesn't forget.

[@neonbarnowl]

To be fair sometimes you can just forget to turn a track back on if you're editing something that required that track to be muted. I do some editing stuff for a casting company and when I'm double checking I may notice I forgot to turn something back on when I'm done. How it managed to get uploaded though is mind-boggling.

[@luckyDancer100]

Russel Crow (age 53) to Tom Cruise (age 55): "you are a younger man." Did Tom write that line in himself?

[@misterbadguy7325]

"As Kurtzman struggled to adjust to scope of the project, it felt more like Cruise was the real director, often dictating the major action sequences and micro-managing the production, according to sources. There were other ways that “The Mummy” was transformed from a scary summer popcorn movie into a standard-issue Tom Cruise vehicle. The actor personally commissioned two other writers along with McQuarrie to crank out a new script. Two of the film’s three credited screenwriters, McQuarrie and Dylan Kussman, an actor-writer who played small roles in “The Mummy” and “Jack Reacher,” were close allies of Cruise’s. The script envisioned Nick Morton as an earnest Tom Cruise archetype, who is laughably described as a “young man” at one point. His writers beefed up his part. In the original script, Morton and the Mummy (played by Sofia Boutella) had nearly equal screen time. The writers also added a twist that saw Cruise’s character become possessed, to give him more of a dramatic arc. Even though Universal executives weren’t thrilled about the story - which feels disjointed and includes Russell Crowe as Dr. Jekyll - they went along with Cruise’s vision. And the crew fell in line too, behind Cruise as the boss. “This is very much a film of two halves: before Tom and after Tom,” said Frank Walsh, the supervising art director, at a London screening of “The Mummy” this week. “I have heard the stories about how he drives everything and pushes and pushes, but it was amazing to work with him. The guy is a great filmmaker and knows his craft. He will walk onto a set and tell the director what to do, say ‘that’s not the right lens,’ ask about the sets, and as long as you don’t fluff what you’re saying to him … he’s easy to work for.” Once the film was done, Cruise brought in his longtime editor Andrew Mondshein to piece together the final picture. (The film’s credits also list Gina and Paul Hirsch as editors.) He spent time in the editing suite overseeing the cutting, which everybody agreed wasn’t working. On the lot, there were differences of opinions about whether Cruise’s directions were improving a picture that had been troubled from its inception or whether they were turning a horror film into a Cruise infomercial. Some believed that Cruise had no choice but to assert himself. Given Kurtzman’s inexperience directing tentpoles, Cruise, who has carried heavily choreographed action movies all his life, had to try to rally the troops or risk having the production fall behind schedule." - Variety, "Inside ‘The Mummy’s’ Troubles: Tom Cruise Had Excessive Control"

[@SharpeBalth]

Same.

[@stainshield]

Tom Cruise and Alex Kurtzman were the problems and I heard that Kurtzman might leave The Dark Universe. Because he is a hack and look at what he did to Transformers in 2007 and 2009, he focused more on the human than The Autobots and Decepticons. Also Cruise was the problem because of his involvement in that cult and The Mummy wasn't the first film he ruined, he did the same thing to Stanley Kubrick's last film Eyes Wide Shut. According to R. Lee Ermey, Cruise and his then wife Nicole Kidman turned the film into shit and Kubrick thought that the critics would crucify him because Cruise and Kidman had their way with him. Also I believe what Ermey said and Ermey even thinks that Cruise is a piece of shit. Universal has 17 months to make adjustments by seeing what went right and what went wrong with The Mummy before Bride Of Frankenstein hits the big screen.

[@uglyguy2519]

Kind of unrelated, but I have to write this somewhere: has anyone noticed how Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are obsessed with ressurection? Star Trek: Into Darkness, Amazing Spider-Man 2 and 3, Transformers 1 and 2, Sleepy Hollow and now this. There's clearly something creepy going on with those guys, like they're continuously seeking relics to unleash an ancient evil in real life, but more importantly: it keeps many of their screenplays from being good.

Dracula Untold was actually ok

[@Shichiaikan]

Dracula Untold was, indeed, better than The Mummy... but it was still absolutely horrendous, to the point where I couldn't even finish watching it for free. It was that bad. Somehow, this was worse.

You didn't mention the Golden Book from Brendan Fraser movies.

[@princeali97]

It bothered me that they made Set the god of death. Sure, Set is generally considered evil, but why make stuff up? Gods of death are usually not even evil in mythology, yet Hollywood makes them the evil ones time and time again. This time they took an actual evil one and then turned him into the god of death. /sigh

[@PlayerSkillFTW]

Yep. Anubis was the God of Death and the Afterlife. He wasn't seen as evil in ancient Egypt. In ancient Egyptian mythology, after you died, Anubis would weigh your heart in a scale, and if your heart was lighter than a feather, Anubis would allow you into the afterlife, but if your heart was heavier than the feather, then he'd feed your soul to a crocodile. It was a way to determine your guilt/sin.

[@Aipe97]

As someone that hasn't seen the movie. What???! why?! Whats wrong with using Anubis or Osiris? either of them could have been acceptable as their god of death, why Set? do they intend to use him in other movies or something and that's why they did that?

[@weedongding]

OMG, I thought I was the only one deeply annoyed by that! The powers the mummy had in the movie lined up with much of the actual things Set was the god of, like the desert, storms and violence. (I think animals were one of those things too if I recall.) It would have made much more sense to go with the real Set but nooooo... they just *had* to change Set to the god of death because death is so s-s-scaaaaawwwyyyyyy.

[@Jeffrey314159]

Aipe97 Actually the god Anubis has already been used a great deal in several movies and TV series over the last forty years. Remember Stargate-SG1, The Mummy Returns(ehhh), The Pyramid(an underdeveloped movie), an episode of the GI Joe animated series. Usually he is playing a villain.

am i the only one who thinks this universe deserves another chance? i'm not defending the movie because it's an epic failure of cinema. but the universal monsters deserve better and should be way more appreciated then they are now. so they should just try again with a different writer and director.

[@cosmicmcmoon5773]

Universal's "Dark Universe" had a lot of potential, by bringing back the classic movie monsters, and breathing new life into them. But sadly, just like with Warner Bros & their DCEU, Universal put in next to no effort into long term planning and build up. I think maybe they could have worked out a deal with Guillemero Del Toro to have "The Shape of Water" be the kickstart to the Dark Universe instead, seeing as that shows huge appreciation for the creature from the black lagoon.

[@dylankaiser5546]

yup that would be awesome i love Guillemero Del Toro he would have made it an instant classic and the Gillman is the most underrated of the universal monsters. They could have done it like in iron man where iron man wasn't a very popular character until the movies came out.

[@carbootstudios2459]

Agreed. They did somewhat fine with Dracula Untold.

[@dylankaiser5546]

also Guillermo del toro made the hellboy movies and one of the main characters Abe looked a lot like the creature from the black lagoon so it should have been him to direct the dark universe he is just awesome anyway.

[@schematicb5393]

I cant agree man, Hollywood doesnt have the capacity to retread classic minster movies and make them actually good.

[@guicaldo7164]

Nobody gets how to make a good cinematic universe... nobody except Marvel. You don't scream in people's faces it's going to be a cimematic universe! First, you make half a dozen entirely self-contained movies with nothing more but very loose and brief references to a bigger universe. If you don't mess these movies up, _then_ we can talk about a cinematic universe!

[@snoodledumpling4486]

Yeah, all the other studios are so desperate to grab that cash RIGHT FREAKING NOW that they aren't willing to put in the time and set-up movies necessary to get it right. Like, Marvel took over a dozen movies worth of character and world development just to get TO their Civil War movie, DC tried to do it in...two? Including the actual civil war movie.

[@nooctip]

Dc really screwed it up. At least Dark Universe just had things you might notice to excite you for later movies. Dc heres a ten minute segment of Batman looking at 20 second clips of charecters you might not know but we're totally squeezing into the next film.

[@lnsflare1]

Although it was released after this post was created, Sony's Into the Spider-Verse was a pretty strong opening for a cinematic universe, and it somehow managed to do this while simultaneously being a Spider-Man origin story, a Spider-Man deconstruction story, a Spider-Man reconstruction story, *and* an Avengers-style world-saving team up movie where none of the versions of the characters in the film have ever had movies of their own (though both Peter Parker and Peter B. Parker are implied to have lived through what seems to be a variation of Tobey McGuire Spidey's life). Also, does Fox's X-Men series count as a cinematic universe, considering that Wolverine got 3 solo movies after the series started with a world-saving team up film (though I think that Logan was supposed to be from an alternate timeline, and the other two movies, and at least X-Men 3, may have been retconned out of existence due to Days of Future Past)? I'm also not sure where to put the Deadpool films on this spectrum, since I'm betting that they aren't *actually* canon to the primary X-Men films.

[@lnsflare1]

@Pat Mgroin Well, yes, but this conversation is probably referring mostly to the DCEU, which has as big a portion of the cultural zeitgeist as Spider-Man or the X-Men.

[@Power5]

WTF are you smoking? The end of Iron man 1 revealed that the Avengers would be a thing. It was planned the entire time. The extent of it was probably unclear, but Marvel was never just going to make a couple iron man movies and call it done.

[@MalevolentDivinity]

Sad thing is that it had the trappings of a good movie. Only problem is that we spent all the time following around Cruz instead of making Amunet the main character and the weird monster hunter organization the villains. Like, it's pretty clear by the ending that they wanted to make the mummy a recurring character. So why not just use the mummy herself instead of giving her powers to Cruz?

[@ahmarsaeed6085]

Please do the Brendan Fraser Trilogy! Please please please!!!

[@ccaamille_]

Has anyone forgotten the about The Scorpion King?The Rock was awesome in that.

[@styx53ocean]

I liked that one too. Parts of it were pretty corny, but still better than Tom Cruise's version of the Mummy.

[@rcschmidt668]

He was the scorpion king for a minute in the 2nd movie.

[@susioeandno1else]

I don't care about this. . . Give me a Mean Girls Honest Trailer....

[@JMAN11380]

No one cares about you.

[@notahotshot]

@@JMAN11380, nor you.

[@lbghost1999]

Please Do an Honest Trailer for The Room!

[@takuansoho5836]

Now that they will do a "behind-the-scene" movie of The Room, I guess there will be an Honest Trailer about it pretty soon ^^ Also how's your sex life ?

[@The_Mask]

That's like making an Honest Trailer for Citizen Kane or Gone With The Wind - no words or pictures can ever do it justice in its entirety. You can only... oh, hi Mark!

[@JesusPulledMeThrough]

sorinmask You're my favorite commenter

[@montinyek6554]

Whyyyyy Liam, whyyyyy????

[@lwanco1018]

So any way how is your sex life?

[@VOXivero]

Can you do *IT* ??? You can do *IT* , right? The 1990 miniseries one.

[@bunnyday1473]

*cries* I just had flashbacks to my 5 year old self watching that. I think I'll sleep with the lights on :(

[@juanlambda27]

I have never been able to stay awake past 20 minutes of this movie.

[@naiesano]

Do Dunkirk!

[@williestyle35]

Too soon. It's still in theaters.

[@emigrant1510]

It might come out in a couple of weeks now

[@SFNDMK]

Talking about Brendan Fraser... You know his movies are actually cannon according to the director

[@youngybhoy1988]

That would make absolutely no sense

[@SFNDMK]

Mark Young well, I wouldn't no cos I haven't seen the movie. But that's what the director said

[@youngybhoy1988]

SFNDMK in the movie he's shocked that a mummy is alive, no reason why he would be if he'd already fought mythical creatures in 3 previous movies, also no mention of the wife and kid, the director is talking shit

[@SFNDMK]

Mark Young well, Tom cruise character is not the same one from the previous movies. Plus I'm assuming that the mummy now takes place in the present, while the Brendan Fraser one takes place on the early 20th century

[@tdnator9534]

"you are a younger man" 🤣 🤣 🤣 even russell crowe is younger than tom cruise

[@ChaosDraguss]

But he's had less surgery.

[@barisk6855]

Back in the good old times people were actually talking about the movies in here, now %90 of comments "say this - do that - say this - do that"... enough already

[@notahotshot]

I noticed you didn't bother talking about the movie either.

[@fatiman7239]

I miss Brendan Fraser!

[@lastperson4475]

Just wagch the new superhero tv series doom patrol :D

[@TearYouApart360]

Where's Stephen King's It miniseries, Jon?

[@mstevensh]

DUD!!!!! You are damn right!!!

[@jetteraismabash4186]

Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000) HONEST TRAILER, Please?

[@thisisntme]

I agree. I want It.

[@MsLadyAphrodite]

House Tarygaryean

[@LeWildSister]

Joshua Baratheon no one would watch that

[@Malt454]

I think we need an Honest Trailer for T-Mobile now.

[@cycg1935]

Hilarious, hilarious & hilarious! 😂😂😂 Jon has such a great voice and his deadpan delivery makes the naration even funnier.

[@seanwhitehall4652]

4:05 you nailed it

[@olivergus9840]

"Fightin' round the world" LOL!!!!!!!!!

[@niklashansen5432]

I wonder what Tugger is doing these days?

[@lordserge3744]

shot itself again after seeing the movie?

[@shouhei00]

Why have't you do The Mummy 1999 trilogy yet !!!? I have cried out for 3 years

[@elizabethklemm7391]

shouhei00 YES. And they should MURDER the third one.

[@ahkidamoonlight140]

Elizabeth Klemm Yeah it was kind of bad😑

[@jazmyngrandison6208]

shouhei00 ugh that one was the worst

[@4besideyouintime]

the third one doesn't even have a mummy in it :S and the second has egyptians fighting with chinese tools made into weapons... oh, wait, now i see the connection....or not.

[@TheSecondVersion]

"Homeschooled Indiana Jones" aka Nathan Drake

[@Miiite]

"And has the power to suck you dry" omg you killed me

[@pedrosantsaver]

So glad you included the trailer

[@Paul94096]

Honestly, and I've been critical of your trailers in the past, this is easily one of your best written honest trailers. Congrats Screen junkies, you guys just keep getting better and better.

[@thejennifercatherine]

Please do the original "the mummy" movies!!!

[@Ukaran]

Did this channel ever make one for an old black-and-white movie?

[@utopistmsoc]

Ukaran they did one for *gasp * Citizen Kane

[@Aodiwnahdkwbab]

I was hoping y'all would include the music-less trailer bit because that's the best part of the whole movie

[@tannerfox536]

Findin monsters findin monsters and fighting round the word.lol... one of my favorite episodes

[@WESsential]

Say "we're not going to do purple rain so stop asking" also, do purple rain

[@randombrokeperson]

Wes Baier if they do PR, they gotta do Michael Jackson's awful movie "Moonwalker".

[@WESsential]

William Holmes I've basically been asking them to do Pr for the last two years every other trailer. They could fill a screen with my requests for it. The movie is an easy lay up for an honest trailer.

[@randombrokeperson]

Wes Baier most 80s movies are too be honest with ya, but I think PR deserves one the most. Did they do one for Grease at all?

[@WESsential]

William Holmes I don't believe they did, by that'd be gold just as much PR

[@dams6829]

Tbh they shouldve done 1999th version.

[@screenjunkies]

But that one didn't need to be honest-ed...is that a verb?

[@CosmicTBLobster]

Screen Junkies Back when movies advertised themselves for what they were? Of course it needs to be honested.

[@jeffthesquirrel9949]

I think the correct term is honestified

[@jasonblalock4429]

No film is without... honesting. I guess.

[@Love4Pop]

Screen Junkies but y'all should do the whole Brendan trilogy! You could talk about how the 1st one was amazing, the 2nd one was pretty good too, and then talk about how we all pretend the 3rd one didn't happen 😂😂😂

[@powerdude1615]

The title u made reminds me of that scene in Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol where he really runs from sand

[@justathoughtanimations4650]

Oh my gosh, i was crying at the movie trailer with no sound affects XD

[@DarthRushy]

Say "We are the Borg. Resistance is futile."

[@PotatoliciousArt]

DarthRushy ALL BORGS WILL BE DELETED!

[@moondragonvals]

Honestly the trailer with the sound issue was best than the actual movie

[@rocbrigade3794]

1:23 I like to think she made the deal with Set because she didn't have the strength/ wasn't brave enough to kill her father and brother on her own, that dark power gave her strength to do so, which in her mind might have been for the greater good.

[@aliciaburney9199]

They ruined it for me "The Mummy"is one my favorite movies Where is Brendon Frazier and the Original Chick at ?!!?!???

[@Cmdr_Kellie]

[@BusoRockin1000]

Please say, "I like my bad guys like I like my M. Night Shyamalan plots: FULL OF HOLES!!!

[@leonanthony683]

I remember watching the trailer with no sound the day it was dropped thinking 🤔 is this a clever thing they're trying to do or did they f up 😄

[@JohnVanderbeck]

Love the optimism of user "DnK 55" in the intro "Do The Mummy ( Tome cruise ones)" (plural).

[@clutchpowers9761]

Please do IT (1990) Before you make the new one

[@arielfangirlmendez]

Wish I want it to see that.

[@jackcassidy9963]

Little did he know The Invisible Man revived the Dark Universe

[@jayisgreg1787]

It actually wasn’t apart of it. Which is why it’s so damn good.

[@whatsthechord2783]

Maybe Alex Kurtzman should just stay away completely from projects attempting to build a cinematic universe

[@tommygun641]

Just googled it. Tom Cruise is two years older than Russel Crowe

[@Keeves.]

Great science fiction movie!

Tom Cruise screaming in the rushed trailer needs to be the new Wilhelm scream sound fx!!! And my text tone!!!

[@GuilhermeFurst]

"This is why people don't go o the movies nowadays" You got that right

[@verillo14]

Do the original IT. the reason why so many people doesn't like clowns

[@theaccursedj.e.2723]

FUCK YES!!!!

[@andreashort310]

verillo14 That's not true. Stephen King wrote It BECAUSE he noticed how terrified of clowns people are.

[@KJC21793.]

Hallucius Bridge Certainly didn't do much to change the perception though.

[@BGatts666]

Kyle Collins I guess the movie kind of legitimate the fear of clown. It must have help some.

[@jar13lucky]

I'm just curious. No judgement. But what do people, who are aren't just scared but have an a phobia, find particularly scary about clowns? Is it the make up? Or is 'normal' circus clown make up okay? Or just the ones made to be scary?

[@livehardordieeasy701]

Man, the old mummy was so awesome.

[@shadowhawkfanatic935]

I love that scream at 4:21

Hey, Benny! Looks like you're on the wrong side of the ri-ver!

[@TheGoldSwordSquad]

For people who want an uncharted movie, just watch the 90's mummy with Brendan Fraser. He pretty much plays Nathan drake jn that movie

[@anirudhviswanathan3986]

And it also features an actually strong female protagonist as well. Rachel Weisz actually is really solid and one of the most underrated female badasses in any movie.

[@rylealejandrosilva5963]

Yes but does Uncharted involve any mummies or curses?

[@bigfarting]

I fell asleep in the theater while watching this

[@sjheup]

25th anniversary of "Death of Superman" is right around the corner. You do do the Shaqastrophe called "Steel"
