Brendan Fraser returns as explorer Rick O’Connell to combat the resurrected Han Emperor (Jet Li) in an larger-than-life movie that races from the catacombs of ancient China to the neon-lit streets of post-war Shanghai and high into the spectacular 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.

The first full-length trailer for The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is available exclusively at www.papajohns.com through 12:00 a.m. (EST) on Sunday, June 22.  Papa John’s is a promotional partner of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
