Following the “overwhelming audience response” to Mummy: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Film School Rejects are reporting that Rob Cohen is already planning to make a fourth film in the franchise. Where will the next movie be set? Where else can you get mummies? Peru, of course!
Both Brendan Fraser and Maria Bello suggested South America to be the next location for the fourth film. Cohen had more to add.
“What I’m really happy about is that, by taking ‘The Mummy’ out of Egypt and putting it in China, by exploring a different approach to the quest for immortality, we now have it clear that the ‘Mummy’ franchise can travel,” he said. “Now we know that if we want to go to Mexico or we want to go to Peru, we can because there’s a cultural truth there of the mummies and these beautiful cultures… So I think that somehow that might make the basis of a good story.”
As expected, no release date was given, though you can expect to see the film in another three years.
