This Summer another film franchise gets the
Hollywood reboot treatment with
The Mummy being reborn in female form.
Sophia Boutella will play the ancient
Egyptian 'Princess Ahmanet' awoken from her slumber from beneath he desert, and adding to the movie's star power instead of
Brendan Fraser this time around is
Tom Cruise.
With
The Mummy London premiere cancelled following the
Manchester bombings, the cast of the new film celebrated
'Mummy Day' in
Hollywood and unveiled a dramatic 75-foot high, seven-ton sarcophagus at the
Hollywood & Highland Center on May 20, 2017.
The giant sarcophagus is a wonderful publicity stunt at one of the
Hollywood's busiest tourist attractions and is beautifully framed by the
Egyptian hieroglyphics on the
Babylon Court Archway which is part of a recreation of the
Babylon Gate from
D.W. Griffith's 1916 silent film,
Intolerance.
The Mummy reboot is planned to help set up
Universal's shared monster movie franchise dubbed the
'Dark Universe', which will see the likes of
Javier Bardem step into the heavy shoes of
'Frankenstein's Monster' and
Johnny Depp disappear as
'The Invisible Man'.
Hopefully all this world-building for future movies won't come at the expense of a this movie which already has a premise we've seen before in the 1999 to 2008 trilogy and 1932's classic motion picture featuring
Boris Karloff as the bandaged undead creature.
These eye-catching billboards for the summer blockbuster were captured around the streets of
L.A., including along
Highland Avenue, the
Sunset Strip and
3rd Street from May 5 to June 1, whilst the super-sized sarcophagus was photographed at
Hollywood & Highland on May 27, 2017.
Fans of
Tom Cruise can also enjoy these
Oblivion movie billboards, these
Mission: Impossible movie billboards and these
Jack Reacher movie billboards, to name but a few.
Let's see if after three previous movies and several
Scorpion King spin-offs, audiences will still want their
Mummy.
