Well… you are not going to believe this.

It’s the most shocking thing since man walked on the moon!

Matt LOVES the trailer for an upcoming Rob Cohen (Fast and the Furious, XXX, Stealth) movie!

I’m in love with the trailer for The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor!

I have no clue how /Film got hold of it but YOU HAVE TO GO AND SEE THE TRAILER RIGHT NOW!

You know my mind says this should look terrible and I know it will be but man if some of those beautiful and iconic shots of undead warriors, statues, Jet Li looking as evil as he has looked in years and just the warmth and character that Brendan Fraser oozes on screen doesn’t win you over.

And yes, Maria Bello (she totally butches her main line) sucks and the character she plays should have been written out once Rachel Weisz decided not to return but I can live with that small problem if the flick lives up to this trailer.

Call me crazy, call me nuts but the trailer has won me over.

And at least they have done something different. It feels fresh, a new direction… not the same old same old with the same Mummy stinking up the place again. Come on…admit it, you expected a WHOLE lot worse.

Bring it on. Yes I’ve said terrible things about the movie for the last 18 months but it’s now that truly counts and it wins my blessing from the post that really counts up to now. Next time they need to succeed is with my full review!

The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor opens August 1st (U.S.) and August 7th (U.K.) and is on my must see list!

Hate it, hate it, hate it.

Feels studio driven without a cent of real emotion to it. This movie should be a warning of what special effects and 3-D movies can become.

I stuck up for it for a while because I think Brendan Fraser makes a terrific male adventure lead but there’s only so much I can take…

NEW TRAILER (Although I don’t see much new about it, can be found HERE).

The movie opens July 11th worldwide.

Confirmation has come from the horse’s mouth that Brendan Fraser will have a cameo in Stephen Sommers’ blockbuster G.I. Joe, a reunion of the actor and director who worked together on the first two Mummy films.

His cameo as Gung-Ho we believe to have already been filmed. Fraser reveals to Newsarama that he gets to ride a three wheeled bike as part of his brief appearance…

Fraser was first rumored for a cameo in Joe earlier this month in the same report which said The Rock would have a more significant role as Shipwreck.

We await confirmation on that one.

Crazy, crazy news story from the good folks at Latino Review who have rarely been wrong in the past when it comes to blockbuster scoops for the biggest movies in Hollywood.

The site carry the exclusive news that Brendan Fraser will appear in G.I. Joe for a brief cameo (possibly setting up the chance to appear in future movies) and Sommers is trying desperately hard to convince The Rock to appear in a significant role. Both actors worked with Sommers on The Mummy franchise.

In Brendan Fraser’s case, they claim he has already shot a one scene cameo in the training sequence segment of the film as Gung-Ho, who looks like a rather goofy fellow…

They also claim an offer has been made to The Rock to play Shipwreck…

Joe isn’t my strong point so I have no idea who these guys are. We await some kind of confirmation.

This will probably be the first publicity for the average movie fan who will now be very much aware that Rachel Weisz is not returning for the flick. I wonder how much of an effect it will have on the financial success of the feature.

It certainly will effect the movie quality wise, I think we all know that..

The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor opens Aug, 1st (U.S.) and Aug, 7th (U.K.) from director Rob Cohen and will star Brendan Fraser, Jet Li, Maria Bello, John Hannah, Michelle Yeoh, Anthony Wong, Luke Ford and Isabella Leong.
