Brendan Fraser is going to return in another installment of The Mummy. Of course it wouldn’t be the same without Rachel Weisz, so I guess he is a single dad now. But news swings our way that Luke Ford will be playing all-growed-up Alex O’Connell.
up-and-coming Aussie actor Luke Ford (THE BLACK BALLOON) has taken the role as Fraser’s kid, Alex. The story will look at what happens when Alex discovers the mummy of the first Emperor of Qin who awakens as a shape-shifter that was for some reason cursed by a female wizard.
Now if anyone had a clue who this Ford guy is, we might get some excitement about the role. I don’t know a thing about him. All Google comes up with is an opinionated blogger obsessed with porn. I don’t think that is the same guy.
I am still wigged about the idea of his kid in this movie. Unlike the other kids we don’t like in movies, this one was in the sequel so it kinda makes sense to have him in part three. But it seems like Hollywood is all about adding kids to franchises that don’t need em. Superman has a kid, (and as if we need another reason to compare them) Indiana Jones gets a kid, and even Batman is going to have a kid in Dark Knight.
Ok, I made that last one up. Exhale. Get your mouse off that comment button.
