I like Brendan Fraser as much as any fun loving action guy would. The guy is just so darn likable. I especially like him in the Mummy series.
Cinematical had an interview with Fraser:
On the production front, I asked if he was shooting Mummy 3 right after Inkheart, to which he replied: “I’m still waiting for the call, so we’ll see … ” And when I asked if he would once again be co-starring alongside Rachel Weisz: “I haven’t talked to Rachel yet, but it’s all on the page.”
Yes, that means her character is in the script, and so chances are very likely she’ll be back alongside our hero. Finally, Fraser did not confirm nor deny rumors that Rob Cohen had been asked to helm the third installment — I take it he’s a bit out of the loop right now, and is waiting to finish up Inkheart in order to dive head first into Mummy action.
I don’t know about you, but it sounds a little vague like Fraser was attempting to dodge the question and still answer it. “Its all on the page” could mean that they have a contract no one has signed yet either.
IMDB lists only Fraser as “attached” to the project and no one else, so who knows what’s in the works. Sounds like Brendan isn’t willing to spill the beans about it yet either.
Either way, I hope Fraser and Weisz are both in it. Its guaranteed to be some light fluffy comedic action fun.
