I didn’t think Brendan was that old. 😉

I’ve heard conflicting reports about which movie this one’s based on; I’ve heard that it’s a reboot of the 1932 Boris Karloff Mummy, but I’ve also heard that it’s a reboot of the 1999 Stephen Sommers Mummy.
If Wikipedia’s to be believed, the 1999 Mummy was already a remake of the 1932 Mummy. So this new one may be a reboot of both.
Or maybe its a reboot of the 1959 Mummy.
It’s probably just Universal making a movie with the title “The Mummy” because they own the rights to it and are wanting to create a shared Universal Monsters universe (of which “Dracula Untold” was supposed to be the first).
Yeah that’s actually it. Doubt it really has much connection with any previous Mummys.
