Looked like supernatural M:I and that isn't necessarily a good thing...

Looks awesome! A Tom Cruise action movie...with a cameo by a mummy.

Best comment I saw - Mummy:Impossible... seems about right. The trailer really emphasized Cruise over the Mummy/horror (if any) elements...I'm a Cruise fanboy, but this wasn't what I was hoping for. Of course, I'll still be there opening wknd....

The Universal Monster Universe movies are not going to be horror movies. Tney're going to be contemporary action films based around the old horror properties. More superheroes than gothic horror. Which, I suppose, shouldn't be too surprising since Universal trying to emulate the Marvel Cinematic Universe with their own properties.

Looks great and I see Russell Crowe has a cameo. Was he playing Dr. Jekyll? There you go - he's in it.

Just saw this and I guess it is confirmed that Dracula Untold is not canon. Bummer.

I suppose that is an intriguing concept ... I just don't have much faith in it. They tried this a few years back with Hugh Jackman.

As for the trailer ... Is this the one where he keeps dying in the plane crash and then waking up until he gets it right? Or is this the one where he is the second-best monster hunter living in his father's shadow until he overcomes his own fears and becomes the best fighter pilot/pool hustler/race car driver/military lawyer/secret agent/monster hunter?

Awesome trailer.

Nice to see Tom getting in his cardio for another movie.

It's really too bad. As with the '99 version, who knew that a "Mummy" movie would eventually be linked to action/adventure-cinema instead of horror?

If they're really creating a "universe", there's no reason they can't make some 1930's-era ones and tie them in modern-day later on.

That trailer looks terrible. Not interested. I'm a big Tom Cruise fan and a big Universal monster fan. This looks bad. I think it will bomb at the theater.

They're going for a superstar "League of Extraordinary Gentleman" type of franchise. Minus the League. You already have two folks in it that are part of the monsters - The Mummy and Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde. I wonder if by the end of the picture Tom Cruise will become the new cursed mummy?
