Hey fellow Maniacs, a cool new featurette has popped up online for The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor courtesy of Universal Pictures. In the past few months, I've heard an occasional mention on how much Stephen Sommers was involved with the third film since he wasn't directing like he did for The Mummy or The Mummy Returns. Judging from the clip below, the G.I Joe director was definitely involved in the franchise and he explains that the thoughts behind moving the location to China versus going back to Egypt. The upcoming third installment of the Universal franchise stars Brendan Fraser, Jet Li, Maria Bello, John Hannah, Michelle Yeoh, Anthony Wong, Luke Ford and Isabella Leong.
In order to see this new featurette, you must have Windows Media Player. If you have it, click here.
You can check out the teaser trailer at the "Mummy" links above and below.
Plot Summary: The blockbuster global "Mummy" franchise takes a spellbinding turn as the action shifts to Asia for the next chapter in the adventure series, "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor." Brendan Fraser returns as explorer Rick O'Connell to combat the resurrected Han Emperor (Jet Li) in an epic that races from the catacombs of ancient China high into the frigid Himalayas. Rick is joined in this all-new adventure by son Alex (newcomer Luke Ford), wife Evelyn (Maria Bello) and her brother, Jonathan (John Hannah). And this time, the O'Connells must stop a mummy awoken from a 2,000-year-old curse who threatens to plunge the world into his merciless, unending service.
Doomed by a double-crossing sorceress (Michelle Yeoh) to spend eternity in suspended animation, China's ruthless Dragon Emperor and his 10,000 warriors have laid forgotten for eons, entombed in clay as a vast, silent terra cotta army. But when dashing adventurer Alex O'Connell is tricked into awakening the ruler from eternal slumber, the reckless young archaeologist must seek the help of the only people who know more than he does about taking down the undead: his parents.
As the monarch roars back to life, our heroes find his quest for world domination has only intensified over the millennia. Striding the Far East with unimaginable supernatural powers, the Emperor Mummy will rouse his legion as an unstoppable, otherworldly force...unless the O'Connells can stop him first. Now, in "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor," the trademark thrills and visually spectacular action of the "Mummy" series will be redefined for a new generation.
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor will hit theaters Aug. 1, 2008.
