The Mummy escapes development hell

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas go searching for lost treasure inside a pyramid in Egypt, only to accidentally wake a mummy, and thus, unleash a curse on humanity...

It's Week 3 of our Brenaissance Mini-Arc – where we are at the apex of Brendan Fraser's career, looking at one of his most iconic roles – Rick O'Connell – in Stephen Sommer's THE MUMMY (1999).

Co-starring Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, Oded Fehr and Arnold Vosloo as Imhotep, this film is a supremely fun re-imagining of the 1932 Universal Horror classic, that would spawn its own franchise, which would eventually pave the way for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's film career. Full of action, adventure, thrills, scares, and peak Himbo Brendan Fraser, The Mummy was literally sending Indiana Jones for a new generation.

Tune in, as we discuss all the fun inside, and the long, winding road through development hell this 90s classic went through to make it to the big screen!
