Yes, more sequel news, and one that’s been sequel-ed and spinned off to death. Well, two and one, surely that’s enough. The Mummy and The Mummy Returns were funny action movies with some cool sequences, there’s nothing really bad you can say about them, then there was The Scorpion King spin off, now we’re back to the Mummy franchise for another sequel.
According to Cinematical…
The new Mummy film will indeed depart the traditional Egyptian setting and head for the Orient – specifically, 1940’s China…At the forefront of the story is the mighty (but very dead) Emperor Qin Shihuang, who is interested in…wait for it…world domination, which he plans to achieve by activating…his enormous army, which is handily still around thanks to a curse which turned them into terracotta and preserved them throughout the centuries.
Now hold on and bear with me for a moment, this is really difficult to follow, so read slowly. Where the hell’s the Mummy? No Mummy. So is this to be called The Terracotta Army? The Attack of the Pottery People? There is no Mummy. Ah well, whatever, another stretched idea to get a sequel going. It’s not as if the previous movies were pieces of art.
