O\u2019Connor and Oded Fehr. Plot details haven\u2019t been revealed. As previously announced, Universal is releasing the movie in theaters on Oct. 15, 2027.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe actors first shared the screen in 1999\u2019s blockbuster hit \u201cThe Mummy,\u201d which follows a treasure hunter who accidentally awakens a cursed Egyptian priest with supernatural powers. A reboot of one of Universal\u2019s classic creature features, the movie spawned two sequels, 2001\u2019s \u201cThe Mummy Returns\u201d and 2008\u2019s \u201cThe Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor,\u201d as well as the 2002 spinoff \u201cThe Scorpion King\u201d with Dwayne Johnson. While Fraser starred in both \u201cThe Mummy Returns\u201d and \u201cTomb of the Dragon Emperor,\u201d Weisz wasn\u2019t in the third movie in the series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tFilmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who call themselves Radio Silence, are directing the fourth chapter in the decades-old action franchise, from a screenplay by David Coggeshall. Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett are best known for 2019\u2019s \u201cReady or Not\u201d and reviving the \u201cScream\u201d franchise for Paramount in 2022, while Coggeshall\u2019s credits include \u201cThe Family Plan\u201d and \u201cOrphan: First Kill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tSean Daniel will produce the fourquel, having worked on the last five films in the franchise, including 2017\u2019s reboot with Tom Cruise. (That attempt to revive the property was a critical and commercial disaster, effectively ending the studio\u2019s ambitions to craft an interconnected Dark Universe.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOther producers include William Sherak, James Vanderbilt and Paul Neinstein of Project X Entertainment, and Clayton Townsend.

Brown will serve as executive producers on \u201cThe Mummy: The Book of the Dead.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz\u2019s fourth \u201cMummy\u201d adventure has a new title: \u201cThe Mummy: The Book of the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":804188,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[57386,96,2839,112798,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-804187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-brendan-fraser","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-the-mummy","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=804187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804187\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/804188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=804187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=804187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=804187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
