>**Blumhouse has put out a short tweet via its official X account, definitively ruling out an appearance from the Scrubs actor. The post read: "BRENDAN FRASER IS NOT IN LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY"**

OK I'm rewatching OG Scrubs for the first time since it aired and just watched the Brenden Fraser 2 parter in season 1. I had no memory of him being in it.
Fraser is an Academy Award w***** - and a recent one!

Three episodes from 2002-2004. Yes, he definitely was in some memorable episodes, but it’s overall pretty low on his resume, it’s dated, and it has nothing to do with the film in the article.
So just a weird choice.

I believe I read that They’re trying again - if so, the question is will they pull from that old roster or start over entirely. I loved the Invisible Man w/ Moss, so I wouldn’t hate her being included.

That Tom Cruise movie was actually the Mummy movie from that universe they were going to build out.
Edit: I went back to confirm, yes Tom did the Mummy movie which had the woman from Rebel Moon as the Mummy. Russell Crowe was in it playing Dr. Jekyll. There was a Dracula movie that is included in that universe from earlier in 2014 called Dracula Untold. It's a shame because I don't remember hating the Cruise Mummy movie.

Kevin Williamson is now working on a Universal Monsters project for Netflix. He said it involves a mix of those classic monsters. It will be a series.

I anticipate it happening eventually since Universal Studios just opened that Dark Universe themed park as part of their new area with the Mario themed park and whatnot.
I expect them to be using this Frazier led Mummy to be a back door introduction to a new Mummy franchise protagonist to carry on the mummy stories as they hope to flesh out the other movie monster lines. I’m honestly hoping it works out for them. It would be a fun idea to see fleshed out.

I’m just gonna flat out say that there’s no chance of that happening just due to the way these films are structured.
I highly doubt that there is any writer on earth that could put together a compelling story that involves the murderous tech bro invisible man, the super-rabid neanderthal wolfman, and the abducted girl turned evil-dead mummy meeting each other somehow.
These films just feel like standalone projects.

I get hate for saying this, but I really hate that everybody associates the 1999 film with this property. I get it, nostalgia is fun and great, but can we stop acting like this is the only interpretation? I actually would like one that's actually horror, as intended.

Lee Cronin's 'The Mummy' comes out next week. Not sure if that's the cup of tea your lookin' to sip. It's probably not the same type of story but it looks to have a modern day Evil Dead vibe to it.

There is some horrifying shit in the Sommers Mummy.

The Mummy is quintessential 90s cinema. We didn’t exactly realize it when it came out. But if you were to throw every movie from the 90s into a blender, you’d probably come out with something close to it.
The story, the characters, the cinematography,, the actors, the feel of it, it’s even had a short lived cartoon show, everything! It just enough wrong to feel right at home.
There will never be an interpretation like it, of anything.

THANK YOU!!
I was eighteen when the Fraser film came out in 1999, and was excited, thinking it would lean into the horror elements of the Universal IP. Nope; and I should have known better to think that a planned tentpole film would do something like that.
So yeah, super excited for Cronin’s take/angle on the story. It’s its own thing, separate studio and storyline, and I can’t wait to see it.

If he is in the Lee Cronin Mummy its a disservice to both films. Fans, we, would try to bridge the gap between the two and theorize about it.
If it can't stand alone with out a cameo, it doesn't deserve to be made.

Who wrote this? The film comes out April 17th but they mention the script “will” be written. They also refer to Brendon Fraser as “the Scrubs actor”. I think he’s been in a few more prominent, higher profile roles. I don’t know… maybe the one that got him an Oscar, perhaps?

With the new Mummy movie coming it is important to raise awareness and remember that mummies are not zombies. [I am Not a Zombie!](https://open.spotify.com/track/1RO369BMlFLRzG1YiGz5L1?si=iKRcANTCRA-7UF2PlSSdnA) explains this well
