*Warner Bros. Pictures has released the official teaser for “The Mummy,” signaling a bold new direction for one of horror’s most enduring stories. The film marks the next project from writer-director Lee Cronin, following the commercial success of “Evil Dead Rise,” and positions the classic mythology within a darker, more unsettling framework.
The story centers on a journalist’s family whose lives are shattered when his young daughter vanishes into the desert without explanation. Eight years later, she is suddenly returned, turning what appears to be a long-awaited reunion into a disturbing and dangerous ordeal. The film reframes the concept of resurrection through a deeply personal lens, grounding supernatural horror in family trauma.
The cast is led by Jack Reynor and Laia Costa, alongside May Calamawy, Natalie Grace, and Veronica Falcón. Cronin not only directs the project but also penned the screenplay, continuing his hands-on creative approach to genre filmmaking. Production duties are shared by James Wan, Jason Blum, and John Keville, with executive producers Michael Clear, Judson Scott, Macdara Kelleher, and Cronin.
Behind the camera, Cronin assembled a seasoned creative team to shape the film’s atmosphere and visual language.
