    THIS JUST IN-

    News 90s kids will LOVE!! Oscar winner Brendan Fraser will be reuniting with co-star Rachel Weisz for a new “The Mummy!” The pair played Rick O’Connell and Evelyn Carnahan O’ Connell (respectively) in 1999’s “The Mummy,” and 2001’s “The Mummy Returns.” (Fraser reprised his role in “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor,” Weisz didn’t.)

    Original film producer Sean Daniel, who produced the previous films with his late partner James Jacks, is also returning for this project.

    Radio Silence, the filmmaking team of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, will direct for Universal Pictures. David Coggeshall is writing the script.

    No telling who else we might see make a return. Reports indicate Fraser and Weisz are currently in negotiations to star, and that the project has been built around their return.

    We’ll let you know what else we hear about this and other news.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
