Rachel Weisz as Evy is no longer a bumbling nerd. Much of the cast from the first movie returns with slight changes to their characters. The Mummy franchise allowed him to stretch out a bit into the role of an action hero. His roles in Encino Man, George of the Jungle, and Blast from the Past were executed with incredibly charming efficacy. Until The Mummy came along, Brendan Fraser was most well known for playing fish-out-of-water characters. It wasn’t Indiana Jones, but it was a straightforward enough film with well defined character archetypes and a villain with a dangerous mean streak. Once you got past the fact that the mummy, Imhotep, wasn’t a lumbering zombie wrapped in cloth, it’s a great adventure movie in the same vein as the pulp stories from the 1920s era. Rick must find a way to prevent Imhotep from taking control of the legendary army and save his family from the clutches of the mummy cult. They plan on finding the remains of the fabled Scorpion King and the Army of Anubis. The reincarnated lover of Imhotep has established a cult to once again resurrect the mummy. Logline: It’s been ten years since Rick O’Connell and company faced the threat of the mummified body of Imhotep in Egypt. This week, Mark Batalla of PixelDrip Gallery returns to take on the action-adventure blockbuster sequel to the blockbuster action-adventure remake of what was originally a fairly small horror film.
