I would LOVE a reboot of The Mummy franchise, one that's genderflipped with an evil queen back from the dead to avenge the murder of her son. It could be glorious and there's tons of great historical material to draw from... but the franchise was so popular, I don't think anyone would want it rebooted so soon. :(

Yeah. Popular movies never get rebooted so soon after being popular.


Unrelated but has anyone been cast for Spider-man?

I don't think there's any confirmation but rumor has Asa Butterfield as the most likely contender.

That is what I saw as well. Going to be nice to see a teen playing a teen (he just turned 18, I think).

I didn't say popular movies never got rebooted, I said that I wasn't sure anyone, i.e. the audience, would want a reboot of such a popular franchise. Especially one the fans deemed to be so good with nothing that needed improving upon. But thanks for your unnecessarily snarky reply, I guess. I never expected one given the innocuous nature of my secret. :(

It was a joke.

And rebooting has nothing to do with fans. It has to do with money. So, if the company thinks it can be make money, they will reboot it.

nayrt

No joking allowed on Fandomsecrets.

I'm sorry. It read more like sarcasm and snark than humor to me and I honestly had no idea why since I hadn't pegged you for that kind of user.

too late, they're already discussing rebooting it for 2016 (there seems to be some stuck in development hell going on)

Anon....how did you find this??

(Anonymous) 2015-05-27 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
People would lose their shit over the "misogyny" of a female villain avenging her son.

(Anonymous) 2015-05-28 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
I think you're overestimating just how much noise tumblr makes in the real world.

(Anonymous) 2015-05-28 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
yeah, you show those imaginary SJWs!!

That'd be cool, but it can't at ALL be related to The Mummy or The Mummy Returns. That duo film series was perfect as is.

(Anonymous) 2015-05-28 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Can you please go away again?

[personal profile] otakugal15 2015-05-28 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Nope. Especially since my comment wasn't inflamatory.

(Anonymous) 2015-05-27 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I think there is going to be a reboot of sorts. From what I've read online, Universal Horror wants to do their own version of MCU

So.. Here's hoping we get a good movie out of this

Man, I'm so torn on this.

On one hand it could be a great idea because the first two Mummy films are amazing and I love them to pieces, and I could so dig a lady-Imhotep.

But on the other I would be so terrified of them royally fucking it up, like trying to make a reboot 'gritty' and 'realistic' when one of the reasons the Mummy films worked so well is because they knew exactly how silly they were and ran with it.

There are no first two. Just two.

I'd LOVE this.

I don't much like the recent Mummy series anyway though tbh, I much prefer the old Universal ones.

(Anonymous) 2015-05-28 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll see you Universal and raise you Hammer House of Horror
