THE MUMMY is Returning To Theaters For Its 25th Anniversary
When I went to the movies this past weekend, I was sitting in a packed theater watching the trailers and as each trailer played out people in the audience would make joking, snide remarks about the trailers for many of the upcoming films.
Then all of a sudden a trailer started playing for the the original 1999 adventure film The Mummy promoting a theatrical re-release for its 25th anniversary, and when that trailer popped up the theaters erupted in cheers and clapping, and it was a fun little experience.
There were a lot of people in that theater who had never seen The Mummy on the big screen before, and the excitement for that opportunity was electric.
Yes, The Mummy is set to return to theaters on April 26th, and tickets are available now. Of course, I plan on going! This was a super fun flick!
The action-adventure film was directed by Stephen Sommers, and it follows the story of Rick O'Connell, played by Brendan Fraser, who teams up with librarian Evelyn Carnahan, portrayed by Rachel Weisz, and her brother Jonathan, played by John Hannah, to explore the ancient city of Hamunaptra.
Their expedition inadvertently awakens Imhotep, a cursed high priest from ancient Egypt, played by Arnold Vosloo, unleashing a series of plagues upon the world.
The film offers a great mix of horror, adventure, and comedy, as the characters race to stop Imhotep's wrathful quest for immortality and reunite with his ancient love.
Will you be watching The Mummy on the big screen!?
