Title: Confirmed: Mummy 3 is going to suck :(
Post by: Phoenix Dark on February 16, 2007, 09:03:19 PM: Quote
Alex was introduced as a precocious 10 year-old wisecracker in 2001's The Mummy Returns, where he was played by English child actor Freddie Boath.

The script pages being used to audition actors for the role -- pages penned by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar -- depict Alex as being in his late teens to early 20s. He is every bit the smartass adventurer his dad is, right down to his penchant for firearms and glib remarks.

In related news, an IGN reader dropped us a line about The Mummy 3 and director Rob Cohen. "I attend Chapman University in Orange, CA where tonight Rob Cohen did a Q&A after a screening of his film Dragon:The Bruce Lee Story. During the Q&A, someone asked what he thinks about Jackie Chan and Jet Li. In his answer, he confirmed that Jet Li will play the Mummy in The Mummy 3, which he is directing. He also said that the film will take place in China and Michelle Yeoh will also be in the film. The biggest bombshell was that the film's protagonist will not be Brendan Fraser, but rather his character's son, now 22 years-old. Also, Jet Li will be the head Mummy in a group of Mummies that were the Teracotta army."
WTF

No Brendon?

NO ARNOLD VOSLOO?

And if it's going to be asian based instead of Egypt based, that means NO ODED FEHR?

:( :( :(

Wow, this will be worse than the shitty second one. The first was pretty awesome in terms of being a fun adventure movie filled with laughs.

No. That was The Scorpion King.

Exactly, it was like a modern Conan.

Except not good.

And no way was The Mummy Returns better. The Scorpion King may have been mediocre, low budget filmmaking, but The Mummy Returns was bloated, obnoxious and horrible filmmaking.

I still remember seeing the scorpion king. It was one of the last times all my buddies in high school did something together. Back in the day. :'(
Title: Re: Confirmed: Mummy 3 is going to suck :(
Post by: The Fake Shemp on February 16, 2007, 09:12:11 PM: Why do people in their early 20s act like high school occured decades ago? The term "back in the day" is used far too liberally. This is like a naturally occuring phenomenon.

Post by: FlameOfCallandor on February 16, 2007, 09:13:05 PM: I dont know. We had a huge falling out and now its just not the same.

Post by: Phoenix Dark on February 16, 2007, 09:15:30 PM: Remember back in the days, when niggaz had waves
Gazelle shades, and corn braids
Pitchin pennies, honies had the high top jellies
Shootin skelly, motherfuckers was all friendly
Loungin at the barbeques, drinkin brews
with the neighborhood crews, hangin on the avenues
Turn your pagers, to nineteen ninety three
Niggaz is gettin smoked G, believe me
Talk slick, you get your neck slit quick
Cause real street niggaz ain't havin that shit
Totin techs for rep, smokin blunts in the project
hallways, shootin dice all day
Wait for niggaz to step up on some fightin shit
We get hype and shit and start lifin shit
So step away with your fist fight ways
Motherfucker this ain't back in the days, but you don't hear me though

Can't be worse than Stephen Sommers.

And here, ladies and gentleman, is the truth. Highlight this mother fucking post.

Sommers directed Van Helsing. Van Helsing is possibly the biggest piece of shit I've ever seen. EVER. SEEN. It isn't even laughably bad like the Covenant is at some points. It's just a big pile of mother fucking rat infested goat shit.

Mummy III is going to suck goat shit up a rotted asshole. However, it's going to look like Academy Award material compared to Van Helsing, and might even be better than the Mummy Returns.
