Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Stephen Sommers, the director of the 1999 The Mummy remake, reveals that he felt insulted by Tom Cruise’s 2017 reboot of the horror movie franchise. The original movie dates back to 1932 with the Universal Boris Karloff-led movie. The franchise received multiple reboots, including from Universal Pictures and Hammer Film Productions.
No. Actually, I was kind of insulted because the writers and director of that Tom Cruise one, no one ever contacted me. I contact people if I was going to take over somebody’s thing. The third one, which Rob directed, it’s kind of my baby. I didn’t want to step on his toes, so I helped produce it. But I had nothing to do with the Tom Cruise one. They never contacted me or called me. I was doing other things, and it’s not like I sat crying. I just think it’s common courtesy.
While Sommer’s 1999 reboot was undoubtedly a box office hit, it received mostly mixed reviews from critics, who praised the movie’s use of special effects, its humor, and thrilling adventure but were let down by its overstuffed plot and unending clichés. This 1999 reboot led to two other sequels, The Mummy Returns and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, both of which also found commercial success and also received relatively mixed reviews.
