To be honest I completely forgot The Mummy remake was even happening. Shows how much I care I guess, considering I was never really a fan of the original or the sequels.
Director Len Wiseman has dropped out of The Mummy citing the ubiquitous "scheduling conflicts" according to "The Wrap." Producers Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci are furiously scrambling to find a new replacement even though there is no timetable as to when production is supposed to begin.
Jon Spaihts (Prometheus) is penning the script and promises to make the character darker and more "cunning and calculating." What's strange is that Kurtzman said he's drawing inspiration from Michael Crichton's novels for the script. Huh? How does "Congo" and "Jurassic Park" play into a Mummy movie in any way, shape, or form? It makes no sense.
But then again neither does a Mummy reboot.
