"Die Mumie" (1999) ist ein Fun-Remake von "Die Mumie" (1932)...
Der Abenteurer Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) und die Archäologin Evelyn 'Evie' Carnahan (Rachel Weisz) machen sich auf die Suche nach dem Grab des ägyptischen Hohepriesters Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo), der vor über 3000 Jahren bei lebendigem Leib in Hamunaptra, der "Stadt der Toten", begraben wurde... Doch wehe dem, der Imhotep in seiner Ruhe stört. Denn: Die Mumie schläft nur!
"Die Mumie kehrt zurück" (2001)...
1935... Zehn Jahre, nachdem die Angriffe der Mumie Imhotep abgewehrt werden konnten, sind Rick und Evelyn glücklich verheiratet. Mit Hilfe ihres neunjährigen Sohnes Alex (Freddie Boath) gelingt dem in London aufgebahrten Imhotep die Wiederauferstehung. Gleichzeitig wird in Ägypten eine noch viel größere Urmacht wieder ins Leben gerufen. Als Imhotep und der Skorpion-König aufeinanderstoßen, gerät die Welt aus dem Gleichgewicht - und nur Rick kann sie retten...
"The Scorpion King" (2002) erzählt die Vorgeschichte des Bösewichtes aus "Die Mumie kehrt zurück"...
Ägypten vor rund 5000 Jahren: Von der Stadt Gomorrah aus versucht der bösartige Herrscher Memnon (Steven Brand) sämtliche Völker der Wüste auszurotten. Die lezten verbleibenden Stämme vereinen sich, um sich dem brutalen Herrscher zu widersetzen. Mathayus (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, u.a. "Doom - The Movie"), einer der letzten Akkadier, wird angeheuert, um Memnon auszuschalten. In dem Wissen, dass der Feind sich eines Hellsehers bedient, startet Mathayus seine Mission. Er dringt in das feindliche Lager ein und stellt fest, dass der geheimnisvolle Hellseher eine betörend schöne Frau namens Cassandra (Kelly Hu, u.a. "X-Men 2") ist. Doch anstatt sie zu töten, verschleppt er sie in die Wüste. Bei einem Kampf mit seinen Verfolgern, angeführt von General Thorak (Ralf Möller, u.a. "Gladiator"), wird Mathayus schwer verletzt, dennoch muss der Skorpion-König sein Heer zur letzten Schlacht nach Gomorrah führen...
Die Arbeiten am 3. Teil "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" (vorher: "The Curse Of The Mummy") begannen im Sommer 2007 - unter der Regie von Rob Cohen (u.a. "XXX") - der Film kam am 7. August 2008 unter dem Titel "Die Mumie: Das Grabmal des Drachenkaisers" in die deutschen Kinos...
Einige Jahre sind vergangen, der 2. Weltkrieg ist gerade vorüber und
eine letzte Mission für die britische Regierung führt das
Archäologen-Ehepaar Rick (Brendan Fraser) und Evelyn O'Connell (Maria Bello) nach
Shanghai und mitten hinein in eine politische Verschwörung während zur
gleichen Zeit ihr mittlerweile erwachsener Sohn Alex (Luke Ford) bei
Ausgrabungen ebenfalls in China auf das Grab des Drachkaisers stösst. Der
Legende nach wurde der Furcht erregende Herrscher und seine Armee vor über
2000 Jahren von einer Zauberin mit einem Fluch belegt und in Terrakotta
verwandelt. Um China zurück zu erobern, sollen sie offenbar wieder erweckt
werden und nur die O'Connells und Alex' Schwager Jonathan (John Hannah)
stehen zwischen dem Drachenkaiser (Jet Li) und einem neuen Zeitalter des Schreckens...
Nur auf DVD / Blu-ray erscheint das Prequel "The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior" - mit Michael Copon (u.a. "Power Rangers") als junger Mathayus, der sich zum "Scorpion King" mausert...

Couture: I play Sargon who's the Scorpion King of this kind of time period which is a prequel to the original 'Scorpion King' with The Rock. This kind of captures his character growing up and I'm the Scorpion King of that time period.

RobCohenTheMummy.com berichtet über den Stand der Dinge...
[...] I have shown the film to the exec’s at Universal and they are through-the-roof ecstatic. We screened a few weeks ago for all the relevant department heads (home video, distribution, foreign, p.r., marketing, etc.) and the reaction was unanimous. It’s running around 1 hr. 53 minutes and, daily as we hone, it’s taking its final shape. The studio has been very collaborative and supportive. You know they love it when they ask you if you need any more money to enhance the visual effects budget!!! Are there more shots that I want to do but didn’t have the money to do?!!! Of course, the answer is yes; there is never enough to entertain the audience in any film. [...]
the studio’s marketing department headed by Adam Fogelson, Eddie Egan, and Frank Chiocchi cut a cool teaser trailer and debuted it at Showest in Vegas week before last and it played off the chart to 2000 cigar chomping guys who own all the theaters in the United States. Some of the effects in it were temp so I am now polishing them up so it can be released in theaters soon. [...]
[14.03.2008]
Bei CS! gibt es eine Beschreibung des ersten Trailers, der auf der ShoWest gezeigt wurde...
[...] Fogelson introduced the debut of the first trailer for The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor by mentioning that not all archeological digs take place in Egypt and not all mummies are wrapped in gauze.
The trailer opens with the Great Wall of China then shows explorers in a cavern with flashlights as they explore and come upon a room filled with the Terra Cotta Warriors of the Dragon Emperor, an emperor who was cursed and turned into a mummy of stone. According to one of the explorers, "no two faces are the same" but then there's some sort of earthquake where the cavern starts to cave in and they start coming to life including the emperor who is on a chariot that starts moving, and we see Brendan Fraser's Rick O'Connell trying to hijack a car to chase after the chariot. Frankly, there was so much stuff to see that it was impossible to keep up with it all, but there seems to be lots of martial arts, huge battle sequences like in the last movie, and lots of Chinese imagery and mythology. One cool scene has an airplane flying through the battlefield and cutting through the Terra Cotta Warriors which crumble as they're hit. There's also a three-headed fire-breathing dragon that looked a bit like Monster X, and there's a funny argument between Fraser and his son Alex, who is older than he was in the previous movie, this time played by Luke Ford, as they argue about how to deal with the situation. Rick tells his son that he's defeated two mummies, but Alex corrects him that he only fought and defeated one mummy, which Rick shouts back, "Twice!" I wish I could have caught more of the trailer as it went by to describe but it looks very cool, with a scope as big and epic as the last movie and hopefully a little more energized with Rob Cohen on board and with the location and mythologies to work from.

Moviehole berichtet über ein mögliches Spin-Off...
Australian actor Luke Ford ("The Black Balloon") talked to Australia’s Herald Sun today about the possibility of seeing his character, Alex O’Connell, from the upcoming "The Mummy : Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" spin-off into his own film.
"There was talk at one point they might do a spin off series with Alex O’Connell depending on the success of this film", said Ford, adding that - they’re picking me up to be in the franchise, not necessarily taking over it. I’d definitely like to be part of that series if they ask me again".
The young actor, who plays Charlie in the acclaimed new Aussie drama "The Black Balloon", says he really enjoyed "working with those actors and the series relies a lot on Brendan (Fraser), it’s his series".
Ford describes his character : "During the way my parents sent me to Australia and I’ve gone on to do my own thing and be my own independent man. My character is basically trying to get my parents to see that I’m a grown man and can look after myself and you guys can include me as part of your team rather than protect me". [...]

[...] Joel, Kelly and I continue with the editing process. The film is running 2 hours and 5 minutes long and strong and we continue to refine it in preparation for our first studio screening February 28th. Here all the Universal execs will get to see it unveiled for the first time. I have taken many of them into my confidence already showing large swaths of the movie to Marc Shmuger, the chairman, Donna Langley, the president of production and Jeff Kirschenbaum the senior v.p. Everyone has been really stoked. Whew!
I showed the entire film to Adam Fogelson, Eddie Egan and Frank Chiocchi, the marketing heads, because it is critical they have as much time to work on the film’s presentation to you, the audience, as possible. We should have the teaser trailer out within a month and, hopefully, you will find it as exciting as I have dreamt this year of work to be.
I will talk to Universal about premiering the teaser here on my blog so that you, who have showed so much interest in my film, will get to see it first. I’ll let you know what they say.
Jet Li came by the editing room last week. He was extremely pleased by the sections I showed him, which was personally satisfying to me as I hold him in great regard. [...]

Most people think that once you’ve finished shooting, you are mostly done. Nothing could be more untrue. What lies ahead, editing, sound effects, design, score, 800 visual effects shots, the mix, timing the digital intermediate with Simon Duggan my D.P., the release plans, art, advertising, marketing---they all lie ahead and within each are countless challenges.

RobCohenTheMummy.com berichtet über das nahende Ende der Dreharbeiten...
As you can see from the new video from Todd Grossman, the production of "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" is enshrouded in nights but just around the corner lies the light of day and the airport. We have two more long nights on the Shanghai streets and four days in ‘IMHOTEP’S," Jonathan’s Egyptian-Deco nightclub on The Bund. (You haven’t lived till you see John Hannah in a bright blue brocade tux!) Yes, it is that time when the long process is behind me and a new half of the production lies ahead - the post: editing, 700 visual effects shots, sound design, music, mixing and setting the final look in the digital intermediate. This second half of the process will be as pressured as the first half since I must turn over the finished movie in early July so that thousands of prints can get struck in time to ship to our worldwide openings.

[...] The sword fight between Jet and Michelle Yeoh that I have been shooting for two days is nothing less than poetry. Such great stars of World Cinema, mano a mano against the desert mountainscape as the whole battle roars behind them. This a landmark day for me and my film.

RobCohenTheMummy.com zeigt ein erstes Bild von Jet Li als Dragon Emperor in Action - und Rob Cohen schreibt...
[...] Today, I shot Jet Li on his black stallion riding into battle in his jade armor. He looked nothing short of an Emperor. He has been totally professional and warm to me and the entire crew, like the prince he truly is.
As to the music: guys, trust me. Randy and I have done two classic scores (DRAGON: THE BRUCE LEE STORY and DRAGONHEART) that continue to be used in trailers and commercials a decade and a half later. This will be an original score with new themes, played by the London Symphony Orchestra recorded at Abbey Road Studios. There will nothing "synth paddy" about it. It will be massive, thematic, and pulsing. I have great respect for Al Silvestri but this is a new, re-booted "Mummy" and it will have the score to match. [...]
