[Happy_Day]

Release Date:
11 July 2008 (USA)

Plot Outline:
In the Far East, trouble-seeking father-and-son duo Rick (Brendan Fraser) and Alex O'Connell (Luke Ford) unearth the mummy of the villainous first Emperor of Qin (Jet Li) -- a shape-shifting entity who was cursed by a wizard (Michelle Yeoh) centuries ago.

Cast:
Maria Bello ... Evelyn Carnahan O'Connell
Jet Li ... Emperor Han
Brendan Fraser ... Rick O'Connell
Michelle Yeoh ... Zijuan
Luke Ford ... Alex O'Connell

IMDB Trivia:
Rachel Weisz announced that she will not be reprising her role of Evelyn due to different interests with the screenplay. Later on, Maria Bello was announced to replace her.
John Hannah may not be coming back.

There are different rumors going on about why Weisz doesn't want to do Mummy 3.
1. Several sources close to Weisz said she thinks it is a bad script.
2. Weisz's agents said there are scheduling conflicts.





I honestly don't know how Mummy 3 will do. There are already a lot of haters out there because Jet Li is doing a Mummy film and Evelyn's character is being replaced.
I'm sad because Rachel Weisz MADE the Mummy movies, and she had excellent chemistry with Brendan Fraser.
Wikipedia says the third Mummy will be called "The Mummy 3: The Curse of the Dragon." I'm REALLY hoping that's a rumor. =/

Do any of you guys think this will be an awkward movie? Lol!

But I'm still excited because I'm absolutely LOVED The Mummy and The Mummy Returns.

Wasnt there mummy 3 already? LOL
Nowadays everything comes in a sequel, I lost track.

I enjoyed Mummy 1 and 2. I don't know about Mummy 3, but to be fair, I can only comment after watching the movie.

[Azura]

That's great...i love the first and second instalments

[butterflyeffect]

lol. another one?
I guess I can only judge after I watch it.

[juhee]

...... i liked racheal as the mom figure.....
o well... i guess i'll judge it when it comes out~

[Rosencrantz]

no more sequels please!!
Hollywood should leave movies at their best, not try stretching it to the limit!
Rachel Weisz and John Hannah were my favourite characters

[.moony.]

Um I love the first and second movie....but when i think of a mummy, i think of Egypt...so a chinese mummy seems not right for me...and jet li is just... okay i dont hate him but this is just straight out weird lol
John Hannah was my fav too <3 it'd be sad to see someone else replace rachael T.T

[fwnc_b!]

Oh no, Rachel will not be doing it? I'm starting to dislike it already. lolz. She is the reason I was so into this movie in the first place. and of course brendan fraser..

haha, i agree.

i never saw the second one, but i really liked the first one!

[Appolpai]

I liked the first two movies, but it's not really The Mummy if there's no Rachel Weisz or John Hannah. If there really were scheduling conflicts with Rachel Weisz, I think they should've just waited for her... ^^;

I can't really judge yet, but I'm only expecting it to be an okay movie. Sequels never really are as good as the first one and well, one of the main characters has been replaced. o_O I agree with someone above me. Hollywood seems to be running out of ideas and keeps stretching movie plots on and on. I was disappointed with Pirates 3 and it would've been better to just leave it at the first one. Same with Shrek 3. Besides, what's with all the 3rd movies coming out lately? Spiderman 3, Pirates 3, Shrek 3, Rush Hour 3, and now The Mummy 3. o_o People will get tired of it soon.

Most people think of Egypt when they think of mummies, but plenty of other cultures had mummies, including the Chinese and even certain places in Europe. The difference is that the Egyptians mastered the mummification process for thousands of years, whereas throughout history the Chinese struggled to find the perfect means of preservation.


Anyway, this looks interesting. I liked the first one. The second one was a bit disappointing to me if I remember correctly. I don't know what to expect of this one. On one hand it seems interesting that it's China-based, but on the other hand it seems really lame because I feel like it's just following the "Asia is t3h coolies" fad that's been going on.

I'm not expecting it to be good, but I look forward to seeing it anyway.

[ANJEE<3]

aww man.. no rachel weiz? booo!

[OBSCURE Sin]

No Rachel or John? Meh. I think third movies are always a bit of a gamble, and with cast changes I'm even less confident it will be as good.

I guess I can only wait and see.

[Ama Vita]

I loveeeeeeeee The Mummy and The Mummy Returns! But I also love Rachel Weisz's acting too!

[kiki]

I loved the cast of The Mummy, but hearing about a continuation, I think it'll just kill the first two like Pirates of the Caribbean.

[Misao]

JET LI!!! WOOO!! i so want to watch this i like jet li lolol

[HeffyEnd]

I love Jet Li.

But this is going to suck.

[RiderKamen]

I love Jet Li.

But this is going to suck.

I agree.

Hollywood always had a curse to mess up a series.

[Wen Jing]

Never liked The Mummy but I guess will watch this cuz of Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh.
Always wanted to see movie with them together... don't know if they have worked together or not. As far as I know, I don't think so O.o Maybe I'm wrong....

[katteriinka]

I loved Mummy 1 & Mummy 2. I really hope this movie will turn out good, though I have a feeling it won't.


I'm really sad that Rachel Weisz won't be in this movie. I loved her character in the first two. I hope the replacement does a good job as Mrs. O'Connel.
