The Mummy Trilogy

The Mummy (1999)

Effects-filled box-office shocker of timeless terror, a loose remake of the 1932 Universal horror classic, stars Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, and Arnold Vosloo. 125 min. C/Rtg: PG-13

The Mummy Returns (2011)

Thrill- and effects-packed follow-up to the atmospheric blockbuster brings back Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz as the adventurers who must again deal with the uncanny powers of the resuscitated Egyptian high priest Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo). This time out, the insidious Imhotep has targeted their young son as the key to settling a millennia-old vendetta with a long-banished barbarian warlord known as the Scorpion King (Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson). John Hannah, Oded Fehr, Patricia Velazquez co-star. 130 min. C/Rtg: PG-13
