Tom Cruise is currently hard at work shooting the redo of The Mummy, and today Universal Pictures have released the official synopsis for said movie. Sofia Boutella, Annabelle Wallis, Courtney B. Vance and maybe Russell Crowe are also amongst the cast. Boutella is playing the title character.
Here’s the synopsis, as provided by Universal.
Thought safely entombed in a crypt deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient queen (Sofia Boutella) whose destiny was unjustly taken from her, is awakened in our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension.
From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters.
Jon Spaihts (Prometheus) wrote the screenplay, and Alex Kurtzman is directing. Look out for this one in cinemas on June 9th, 2017.
