‘The Mummy 4’ Starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz Gets Official Title
‘The Mummy 4’ starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz has received an official title, and it sounds very ‘Evil Dead’ to us.
Production recently began on Universal Pictures’ new The Mummy, which reunites Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz for the first time in 25 years.
So, it seems appropriate that we finally have an official title for the fourth entry in the franchise. Today, Universal has announced that the film will be called The Mummy: Book of the Dead, reports THR (a reference to the book that brings the titular villain back to life in the first place).
The Book of the Dead…very Evil Dead, if you ask us. We know Ash Williams must be somewhere begging the characters not to read from that goddamn book again.
Behind the camera are Radio Silence filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream, Scream VI, Abigail), working from a screenplay by David Coggeshall (Orphan: First Kill, The Family Plan).
And they’re getting a surprising amount of the old band back together.
In addition to Fraser returning as Rick and Weisz returning as Evelyn O’Connell, John Hannah (The Mummy, The Mummy Returns) is back as Evelyn’s brother Jonathan Carnahan.
As , () is also returning as Ardeth Bay, while () is somehow returning as Beni.
