New ‘Mummy’ Sequel Stays True to the Original and ‘Takes Some Real Chances,’ Directors Tease

After years of hoping, fans of “The Mummy” are finally getting another film in the franchise starring both Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. And, according to the directors of the new film, the new installment will have the energy of the first film, but will also take “some real chances.”

Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are directing the fourth film in the franchise, coming off “Ready or Not 2: Here I Come,” which hits theaters on March 20. Speaking to TheWrap ahead of that sequel, the duo wouldn’t reveal anything about the plot of “The Mummy” or exactly how scary the film might be, given their horror roots.
