As promised at the start of the weekend, Universal has released the first trailer for next summer’s The Mummy this evening. I have to admit that I am impressed with the trailer, if only for how it is set up. More than the first half of the two minute, thirty-five second clip is spent on just one sequence, the setup to and edited highlights of a plane crash and just a bit of its aftermath. Even in this edited form it looks as if the film will be a combination of classic horror and action-adventure, which bodes well. And I am kind of surprised that we get to hear some very unheroic screaming from star Tom Cruise. This is not the reaction we would expect from his Mission: Impossible<\/strong> Ethan Hunt character. The second part of the trailer is concerned with introducing many of the story elements that will be in play. Some we saw very quickly in Friday’s fifteen-second tease, but many are new. We get an idea as to what role Russell Crowe’s Dr. Jekyll will be playing in all this as well as an idea of the scope of the film.<\/p>\n

The Mummy<\/strong> opens June 9, 2017.<\/p>\n
