First Look at Tom Cruise in THE MUMMY in Set Photos
A batch of photos from the set of Universal Pictures' The Mummy have popped up online, and they give us our first look at Tom Cruise and Annabelle Wallis in the film. The Mummy is currently being shot in Oxford, England.
The story is set in modern day, and Cruise is playing a special forces soldier while Wallis is taking on the role of an archeologist. The Mummy is the first of several feature films that will be based on monsters from Universal's classic monster cinematic universe. The fact that these new films are set in modern day doesn't sit well with me at all. I wish they would be period pieces that take place in the '30s or '40s. That would have been a much cooler setting. I am curious to see how these movies turn out, though.
The movie also stars Sofia Boutella (Kingsman: The Secret Service), who is playing the mummy, and Jake Johnson (Jurassic World). It's being directed by Alex Kurtzman from a script by Jon Spaihts (Prometheus), and it's set to be released in theaters on June 9th, 2017.
