New batch of stills from THE MUMMY 3

by Matt Holmes

I'm such a huge fan of so many different Mummy franchises, that it really pains me to see what Universal and Rob Cohen have done with The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. I love the original Universal movie with the great Boris Karloff, the colourful Hammer Horror version in the 50's with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing and even Stephen Sommers big budget popcorn vehicle that was the 1999 film. I couldn't stand The Mummy Returns though in 2001 and since day one this third move in this series has shaped up to be dismal affair. I hate the look of this film, I absolutely hate the title, why is a 26 year old Luke Ford playing the part of what should be an 18 year old boy, Chinese mummies?, horrible director and the replacement of Rachel Weisz with Maria Bello. Now I don't mind Maria Bello, but she's no Rachel Weisz. Some new stills have turned up online for the movie, most of which are laughable to say the least...

There's much more images over at IESB, but say yourself the trouble and just forget this movie is being made. Universal, are these really the best images you have to promote your film?
