During a recent conversation with THR to promote the release of Doctor Strange, screenwriter Jon Spaihts explained the differences between the newest incarnation of The Mummy and the films that preceded it. Based upon his description, it's fairly obvious that the upcoming incarnation of the horror classic intends to combine elements of everything we have seen before into something familiar, yet unique. While the older Mummy movies relied on certain old fashioned horror principles, the more recent Mummy movies (starring Brendan Frasier) utilized a more action-oriented approach. It now seems that the intention with The Mummy reboot is to keep the action as visceral as possible, while also crafting the scariest Mummy film to date.
