HAPPY HALLOWEEN!πŸŽƒ Have you ever wondered how many revisions it took to get Imhotep’s final form? Well Mummy Fam you are in for a treat! Here are just some revisions that we are happy to share, straight for our archives. With Imhotep’s design, director Stephen Sommers wanted something more menacing than just a limping, bandage-wrapped creature. He wanted to, β€œβ€¦blow people’s socks off” and so he tapped Industrial Light and Magic for the job. Although a different effects company had tried out with some concepts, but that’s for another post. ILM had taken on the challenge even though they had never done a synthespian (part actor, part syntenic) in three dimensions before. This was a challenge that even frighten the animators as it pushed the envelope at the time. The end result however was a creation that stands the test of time and still holds up today. #themummy #arnoldvosloo #BehindTheScenes

πŸ€”This is just pure speculation and probably will not happen in The Mummy: Book of the Dead. But what if there's a flashback sequence to we're shown unreleased scenes like the one below. πŸ‘‡ #rachelweisz #TheMummy4

🚨 FILMING NEWS: Jonathans Bar and Cafe has been spotted as one of the sets and filming with Evelyn, Rick, and an unknown character has started. During this scene there’s a cute moment that’s an Easter egg to the first film. 🀩 Look at Evelyn’s glow up. #rachelweisz #themummy4 #filming

The crew for β€œThe Mummy: Book of the Dead” starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz have touched down in Tangier, Morocco! Looks like they will be there for about a month!🧑

🚨🚨🚨Today filming begins back out in the desert around the Tangier area and that has got us wondering how many weeks the cast spent this time training on the camels! When filming The Mummy (1999) two weeks were spent at a camel ranch in Marrakesh according to its leading actress Rachel Weisz. She was known to not have enjoyed the camel experience. We wonder if she still feels the same after all these years? #rachelweisz #camels #themummy

🧡When asked about O'Connell shirt change in The Mummy Returns to blue, costume designer John Bloomfield said, "Why change what works?" The style is based off his iconic white shirt with some slight tweaks. It was very subtle and worked for the scene. Now with The Mummy:Book of the Dead, we'll see Rick in some different fits but we wonder if the white shirt will get a mention/nod? ⁉️WHAT DO YOU THINK, MUMMY FAM? #johnbloomfield #themummyreturns #brendanfraser

While we've seen 2 of Evelyn's styles in the upcoming The Mummy Book of the Dead film so far and she's so far removed from her past pieces. Let's rewind back as Rachel Weisz spills the tea on Evelyn's clothing journey on the set of Hamunaptra in The Mummy. Source: ET #rachelweisz #themummy #style

We get asked a lot about what goes into making The Mummy. And if you as a fan ever wondered, well, today we wanted to share this straight from our archives. Works in progress,Anck-su-namun’s hand and Imhotep’s face as well as one of Imhotep’s stages with an artist using the reference photos. #themummy #tbt

THE MUMMY (1999) felt like a B-tier popcorn flick mixing horror, action, adventure and comedy, a recipe that could’ve easily been a disaster. Instead, it delivered A-tier blockbuster filmmaking. An all-timer of the genre.
What movie had absolutely no right being as good as it was? A film that could’ve easily been a lazy cash grab built around an existing IP, but somehow turned out genuinely brilliant. THE LEGO MOVIE and DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES are perfect examples. What movie went in with rock-bottom expectations and completely blew you away?

πŸš‹Mummy Fans, did you ever wonder how Jonathan got ahold of the double-decker bus? Here's the original scene. Jonathan pretended to be on the tour, earlier that day. He told the driver that he and his β€˜son’ came back because they lost a small book about Tom Mix while on it, and they forgot to tip him for his β€œdelightful tour”. β€œWould you mind terribly if my son and I stepped aboard for a moment?β€œ And Jonathan held out a second pound note. "Just to check our seats? It might have slipped back under, you know.” #johnhannah #cutscene #themummyreturns

🚨🚨John Hannah talks Mummy 4 and ribbing Arnold Vosloo with Brendan. Congrats to Mr. Vosloo. πŸ₯³ "I'm so glad Rachel's back, Kevin J. O'Connor's back from the first one. Arnold...he's just had..." Notice how his tone changes for a second. Almost like he let something slip then changed course. #mummy4 #johnhannah #arnoldvosloo

πŸŽƒWanna be Anck for Halloween? This super rare costume of Anck-Su-Namun was released by Rubies (now defuncted) back in 1999 after the success of The Mummy. There was also an Imhotep costume to complete the pair. Can you imagine if they had licensed O'Connell and Evelyn. They didn't though. Maybe next year.πŸ˜‰ #ancksunamun #themummy

‼️These two separate scenes have us wondering.πŸ€” Clearly Evelyn is listening for the report on Rick’s race. Probably hears about the small track mishap although Rick isn’t as banged up. Why isn’t Jonathan at the track supporting his brother in law? And why isn’t Evelyn? What could prevent them from attending such an event. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!πŸ‘‡ #themummy4 #brendanfraser #rachelweisz

🚨🚨Filming at the Blythe house today. Onlookers reported Evelyn (Rachel Weisz stunt double) running down a fire escape. Then another scene was filmed with a bloke in a black leather jacket and black attire leaving the building looking back. Possible baddie? Who knows. Source: reddit.com/r/themummy/s/IpV8…

DID YOU KNOW: This smokey eye look for Evelyn was not planned. In the 1999 film The Mummy, the character Evelyn Carnahan (played by Rachel Weisz) famously wears a striking, heavily lined eye makeup look after changing into a traditional black Bedouin outfit. The eye makeup was actually done by the women that you see coming out of the tent.πŸ’„xπŸ‘οΈ #themummy #rachelweisz
