Pictures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Producer James Wan, whose horror hits include the \u201cSaw,\u201d \u201cInsidious\u201d and \u201cConjuring\u201d franchises, also got excited by the idea of a frightening mummy. \u201cThere have been so many iterations of the Mummy along the way,\u201d says Wan. \u201cAs long as cinema history, in a lot of ways. It\u2019s such a great iconic character. So, I think it\u2019s great that we are coming out with a scary version of this particular IP again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jason Blum, whose Blumhouse Productions is responsible for such commercial and critical horror successes as \u201cParanormal Activity,\u201d \u201cInsidious,\u201d \u201cThe Purge,\u201d \u201cGet Out,\u201d \u201cThe Invisible Man,\u201d and \u201cM3GAN,\u201d adds: \u201cI think what sets the film [\u201cLee Cronin\u2019s The Mummy\u201d] apart is that initially, monster movies started out as scary movies and over time they grew big\u2014to four quadrant family movies. We produced \u2018The Invisible Man\u2019 and that was one of the first to bring the heart. And what such movies originally set out to do, all of those stories were originally horror and over time, they grew into something else. And I think one thing that\u2019s unique about this movie is that it\u2019s taking this old legend and bringing it back to its roots, which was what the Mummy was, which is scary as hell.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Cronin mentioned, for him to really get into a new version of the Mummy, he needed to find his own story. \u201cI wanted to tell something that had more than just an A narrative, but also had other things going on within the background,\u201d says the filmmaker. \u201cSo, there is a big detective angle to this, which is maybe a little different to a conventional horror movie that you might watch, whilst also having a lot of the traditional haunted house elements at play.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe movie in my mind as I approached it was some sort of combination between \u201cPoltergeist\u201d and \u201cSe7en\u201d \u2013 \u201cSe7en\u201d encapsulating the more hard-boiled detective side of things, and some of the darker body horror, too, and then \u201cPoltergeist\u201d in terms of the exceptional circumstances that are faced. And then with the family in this movie, \u201cPoltergeist\u201d was also a touchpoint for capturing the domestic relationships and also the heart that was in place between the family. I definitely wanted to mash up some really dark themes with some warmth. And I always think family is a great way into a story, especially a horror story, because it\u2019s something that we can all identify with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New Line Cinema, Atomic Monster and Blumhouse Present, A Wicked\/Good Production, A Lee Cronin Film: LEE CRONIN\u2019S THE MUMMY. The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, only in theaters and IMAX\u00ae in North America on April 17, 2026, and internationally beginning 15 April
