Another year, another adaptation of a classic film property. We’re talking of course about the next take on one of the big monsters of cinema, “The Mummy.“
Hot off the record-setting resurrection of “Evil Dead Rise,” writer/director Lee Cronin turns to one of the most iconic horror stories of all time with an audacious and twisted retelling: “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy.” The young daughter of a journalist disappears into the desert without a trace—eight years later, the broken family is shocked when she is returned to them, as what should be a joyful reunion turns into a living nightmare. The film stars Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Natalie Grace, with Veronica Falcón.

The film is written and directed by Cronin, and produced by James Wan, Jason Blum, and John Keville. The executive producers are Michael Clear, Judson Scott, Macdara Kelleher, and Cronin. Cronin is supported
Additional film creatives include Director of photography Dave Garbett, production designer Nick Bassett, editor Bryan Shaw, costume designer Joanna Eatwell, music by Stephen McKeon, and casting by Terri Taylor and Sarah Domeier Lindo.
“Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” hits North America on April 17th, 2026, and internationally beginning April 15th, 2026. Check out the trailer now:
