I believe you said “Brenden Fraser” when you meant “Boris Karloff”.

While I enjoyed the cheese and roller coaster ride fun of the Brendan Fraser version, it didn’t have the sympathy you feel for the monster in the original. Yes it is tame by today’s standards but it is a great film about a tragic lost love.
This looks like all roller coaster and a plot that will fit on the back of a cocktail napkin. I will probably get the DVD from the library as the price usually makes me more forgiving to some movies but this may not even pass that test.

I had such a crush on her when these movies came out… She was awesome in these, and Enemy at the Gates.
But yeah, there’s no need to remake this, and especially if the remake shares nothing with the original aside from the title.

People are already recutting it with music. I felt it needed more Salisbury Hill.

Tom Tyler’s Mummy still gets no love.

Still do. I love how she has such quirky tastes in the parts she takes these days.
Blood from the Mummy’s Tomb is probably my favorite Mummy film. A little non-traditional as she’s rather unwrapped:

Is it me, or forgetting the soundtrack makes for a better trailer?
Cheesy subject matter aside, the silent beginning felt intriguing and atmospheric compared to the exceedingly generic soundtracky ending.
The grunty middle part was comedy gold, of course. Reminds me of this.

I need to remedy my not having seen this film ASAP.

Also, the voice of the Mummy in that version was done by Blixa Bargeld from Einstreuzende Neubauten!
Which blew my mind when I saw it in theaters.

Ah the lovely Valerie Leon. [swoons]
She was a fixture in “Carry On” comedies usually playing repressed women “gone wild”.

Urgh. I just pictured that in my head after the true enbalming process.

I saw the trailer at the theater tonight, and there wasn’t a great deal of “music” missing per se. Mostly just sound effects over the grunts and shouts.
They’re showing trailer snippets of Ghost in the Shell already, and Cinepolis has done something clever by inter-cutting it with other trailers, like transmission interruptions that were happening in the GitS storyline. Pretty clever, I think.
