The Mummy is an American feature film of the action and horror genres. It is produced by Universal Pictures and is the first film in their "Dark Universe" line, which is intended as a re-imagining of the company's classic "Universal Monsters" brand. This is the third reboot of the concept since 1932, after Universal released the original The Mummy. British movie house Hammer Film Productions did their own version of The Mummy in 1959 and Universal returned to the concept again in 1999, structuring it as more of an action movie called The Mummy.
The new film was directed by Alex Kurtzman with a screenplay written by David Koepp, Christopher McQuarrie, and Dylan Kussman, based on a story treatment by Kurtzman, Jon Spaihts and Jenny Lumet. The film was released theatrically in the United States on June 9th, 2017. It was released in Real D 3D and IMAX 3D.

Notes & Trivia[]
- The tagline to this film is "Welcome to a New World of Gods and Monsters".
- There are a total of thirty-nine credited cast members in this film.
- This movie was intended as yet another jumping point for Universal Pictures' "Dark Universe" concept, but due to poor box office performance and negative reviews, Universal ended up shelving the concept.
- The Book of Amun-Ra, which played a key role in the 1999 iteration of The Mummy makes a cameo appearance in this film. Though this may hint to a shared continuity between the two movies, it is more than likely included as nothing more than an Easter egg.
