Evil Dead Rise director Lee Cronin recently teamed up with Atomic Monster, Blumhouse Productions, and New Line Cinema to bring us his take on the concept of a classic horror monster, the mummy. His film, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, reached theatres last month (you can read our review HERE) – and now, we’re just one week away from the digital release! Our friends at Bloody Disgusting have learned that Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is set for a May 19 digital release, with a physical media release to follow on July 14.
What is the runtime of The Mummy?
Lee Cronin’s The Mummy has a runtime of 134 minutes (2 hours and 14 minutes), making it one of the longest mummy movies ever made.
Who’s in the cast?
Lee Cronin’s The Mummy stars Jack Reynor (Midsommar), Laia Costa (Victoria), May Calamawy (Moon Knight), Veronica Falcón (Queen of the South), Hayat Kamille (Vikings: Valhalla), and May Elghety (Clash).
It should be noted that, since the project is set up at New Line Cinema, this “new take on the horror trope revolving around the ancient mummified undead” has nothing to do with the classic Universal horror property. We heard back in May 2024 that there are three Mummy projects in development at Universal, including a prequel that screenwriter Wes Tooke is working on and a sequel to the Brendan Fraser films (those being The Mummy 1999, The Mummy Returns, and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor). It was recently confirmed that Fraser and Rachel Weisz are coming back for The Mummy 4, which has Radio Silence attached to direct from a script by David Coggeshall.
What is the film about?
Here’s the synopsis: The young daughter of a journalist disappears into the desert without a trace—eight years later, the broken family is shocked when she is returned to them, as what should be a joyful reunion turns into a living nightmare.
Atomic Monster and Blumhouse are co-financing Lee Cronin’s film. James Wan is producing alongside Jason Blum and John Keville. Michael Clear, Judson Scott, and Macdara Kelleher serve as executive producers. Alayna Glasthal is the executive overseeing the project for Atomic Monster. Cronin’s Doppelgängers banner is also producing.
