I will likely be posting a preview page for The Creature from the Black Lagoon soon. Okay, well, regardless of what might happen to a future version of Black Lagoon , Stephen Sommers and crew are indeed working on The Mummy Returns for a hoped release of Summer, 2001. Please note that all release dates are subject to change. Summer films are about big style entertainment that Hollywood was built upon. Computer generated special effects are growing in ease of use by leaps and bounds, and these improvements are evident nowhere more than in this film.
Trailers act like entertainment distilled in that way.
I was surprised to see so much I didn't expect. Most notable however, might be the closing shot of the trailer of a duststorm wave rushing across a desert with a face emblazed across it. This may surprise some, but Deep Rising remains a movie that I rank as one of my 20 favorites of 1998. People nostalgize about those films, not just because they were great, but because we really don't see enough movies like them. All signs seem to portent that The Mummy is going to be a fun movie that can easily be compared to Raiders of the Lost Ark without restraint.
