Universal Pictures has enlisted Prometheus scribe Jon Spaihts to reboot the highly successful The Mummy franchise. The franchise began with Stephen Sommers’ 1999 The Mummy, starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, that raked in $415 worldwide and has consistently performed in the $400+ million level with its two sequels. The franchise even has a moderately successful spinoff, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as The Scorpion King, under its belt, but Universal is looking to refresh the franchise.

According to Variety, Spaihts’ approach to this story will be similar to what he did on Prometheus:

“I see it as the sort of opportunity I had with ‘Prometheus’: to go back to a franchise’s roots in dark, scary source material and simultaneously open it up to an epic scale we haven’t seen before.”

Sean Daniel who produced all four of The Mummy films, will be back on board for the reboot. Universal’s Jeffrey Kirschenbaum will be supervising the project for the studio.

No release has been set for The Mummy reboot.
