Up and Coming Films

I'm slightly more interested in the upcoming Mummy film now.

Russell Crowe is playing a certain Dr Jekyll and it's supposedly the first in a franchise of Universal monster mash ups to rival Marvel and DC.

Hope it does well to be honest.

I might go and see it now as Crowe was the most interesting thing in man of steel.but still not expecting much from the trailer.

This has actually changed my mind, but now that I'm interested I expect it to flop.

It doesn't look too bad at all. Nice that some of it's set in London too.

The thing with Mummy films is they don't have a specific genre.

The first Karloff one was a dark romance, the Hammer films were proto slashers, and the Brendan Fraser movies were action adventures.

This looks a cross between action adventure and mild horror.

Only thing still putting me off is Cruise but I suppose the role suits him as basically seems to be Ethan hunt or any other role in the last decade.


But hope it succeeds so we can have these guys on our screesns againand battling each other.

I like Tom Cruise so he's a draw for me.

I'd like it to be good - I like Cruise too for the most part - but it still looks a bit dodgy to me.

I don't dislike him, but I think they could of found someone better for the role, but he is still a huge box office draw so that should help the film.

I know what you mean, but it doesn't look any more or less dodgy than any Marvel movie.
