        A modern mummy film…? Can't say I'm feeling it, sounds SyFy original movie material.

          Yeah there was A LOT of charm behind the Mummy (with Fraser) was because it was a period piece since it really instigated a sense of classic adventure and intrigue (as well as sorta function as a tribute to the original). Of course the writing, special effects, excellent dialogue/actors really contributed to the fun, but the fact that it was a period piece helped it stand out as well from being a generic horror/action/comedy film. This "Mummy" reboot on the other hand sounds very generic, but what should I suspect from the director of Underworld? He'll probably just do the same thing except with a mummy which is kinda lame. From what I suspect, the movie will be devoid of the whole "adventure" element of the Mummy and replaced with action.

          Bleh…like Buuhan said...it sounds more like a syfy original movie.

            I guess we're going to find out what the Mummy equivalent of a Sparkly Vampire is.

            Oddly enough. the Universal Mummy film with the most recent setting prior to this was The Mummy's Curse, which was made in 1944 and set in 1995.

            Complicating things since 2009.
