"Mummy" Writer Fills in Some Sequel Blanks for Us

Summary

First we heard that Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz would be asked back for "The Mummy 3," but then came word that the sequel would focus on the exploits of their now-grown son. Well, it looks like both are actually the case. Back to Article

wow the not set in egypt and no im-ho-tep makes me wonder why they even call it the mummy.

Well, at least Weisz and Fraser are returning. Otherwise it would just be stupid.

I hate the idea of the kid though.

I hated the idea of the kid at first. I'm pulling back from that hate a bit; if it's done right than the kid COULD work. Still keep Fraser the focus, but make the 'grown kid' his partner or something, it could work...

Is it still set in the Middle East? If not, I bet it's either going to be set in a jungle somewhere, or China (..Japan, Korea, somewhere with an Asian accent).

With all the Jet Li casting rumors I'm betting China and as long as they hire a different actor to play the kid it could work. As long as they don't hire Shia LeBouef that is.

If the kid is similar to young Indiana Jones (i.e. River Phoenix) in 'Last Crusade' then I'm all for it.
