April 5, 2012 - The Mummy / reboot project announced
Scooped on Saturday, April 7, 2012
Prometheus and The Darkest Hour screenwriter Jon Spaihts has been selected to write a reboot of Universal's The Mummy. Sean Daniels will produce the new Mummy movie; he was involved with the studio's most recent iteration of the creepy franchise, the 1999 and 2001 movies directed by Stephen Sommers.
Spaihts wants to make his Mummy movie more darker than Sommers' most recent offering.
