Final Trailer for THE MUMMY - "It Takes a Monster to Defeat a Monster"
Universal Pictures has unleashed the final trailer for The Mummy. It includes a good amount of adventurous new footage from the film and also reveals some new story details. There's one major plot point in the story that's revealed that I wasn't expecting. I'm surprised it was included in the trailer because it seems like a big spoiler type twist that you'd want to save for the film! If you don't want that spoiled for you, I suggest you don't watch the trailer. This reveal definitely makes the story a lot more interesting and I'm curious to know if they are setting it up for a future monster film.
I'm such a huge fan of the original classic Mummy movie, that I wasn't really sure if I'd buy into this one. I've actually warmed up to it though, and it looks like it will be a solidly entertaining flick.
Thought safely entombed in a tomb deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient princess (Sofia Boutella of Kingsman: The Secret Service and Star Trek Beyond) whose destiny was unjustly taken from her is awakened in our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension.
From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters.
Tom Cruise is joined by a fantastic cast of actors that includes Annabelle Wallis (King Arthur), Jake Johnson (Jurassic World), Courtney B. Vance (American Crime Story: The People V. O.J. Simpson) and Russell Crowe (Gladiator).
The film was directed by Alex Kurtzman (Transformers, Star Trek, and Mission: Impossible). The Mummy hits theaters on June 9th! Watch the trailer below and let us know what you think of the latest twist in the story.
