there is no chance in hell of this movie being any good.The experience made him retreat from Hollywood, he said. "It made me feel reclusive.”Īctor Brendan Fraser at the Dubai International Film Festival in 2008. Paulo Vecina / The Nationalįraser also spoke about how working on action films, particularly the three Mummy films, had taken a physical toll on him. "I was put together with tape and ice … I was building an exoskeleton for myself daily." He added that the injuries resulted in several surgeries, including a laminectomy, a partial knee replacement, back and vocal cord surgeries that amounted to seven years in and out of hospitals. Every single decision that has been made about this flick apart from the decision to bring back Fraser and the adding of Michelle Yeoh has been EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING. Shooting begins at the end of July in Montreal before moving to China. The female wizard has been confirmed to be played by Michelle Yeoh and the role of the former Chinese emperor is unknown at this time. That shape-shifting mummy will of course be Jet Li. In "The Mummy" sequel, Ford will play Alex O'Connell, the 20ish son of adventurer Rick O'Connell (Fraser), who journeys into the forbidden tombs of China and into the Himalayas, where they run into a new shape-shifting mummy, a former Chinese emperor who was cursed by a female wizard. "We may spin off into a complete father-son direction with Brendan (Fraser, who played the adventurer who battled the monster in the first two installments), but by getting an actor who is in his 20s and not a teenager, we can also put the future on his shoulders," "He tested against four much more established actors, and he was magic when he read with Brendan."

Director Rob Cohen spoke of the decision to Variety. Director: Stephen Sommers Stars: Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, Arnold Vosloo. Ford, a 26 year old bit time Australian actor will be playing the guy around 22 years old, as his character has miraclously now aged 10 years since 2001 and the release of The Mummy Returns where he was played by Freddie Boath in his only ever film role. At an archaeological dig in the ancient city of Hamunaptra, an American serving in the French Foreign Legion accidentally awakens a mummy who begins to wreak havoc as he searches for the reincarnation of his long-lost love. While the original is remembered as a cult classic, the sequel doesn't have quite the same. Well actually that's not entirely true, as Weisz has already annouced she won't be returning for the flick and the studio is said to have already screen tested six actresses' to replace her. Brendan Fraser, who faded out from Hollywood after George of the Jungle and The Mummy, has been cast in DCs upcoming Batgirl movie. The Brendan Fraser starring 'The Mummy' trilogy of films was a classic case of diminishing returns. Luke Ford (no idea?) has been cast as Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz's grown up son in the third installment of The Mummy franchise.
