When The Mummy Returns made it to DVD, I unashamedly played it over and over on the big screen of our living room until I learned all the fight scene choreo between Rachel Weisz and Patricia Velásquez (Anck-su-namun). So to hear the new rumblings that The Mummy 4 is in the works and both Weisz and Brendan Fraser are in talks to return to the film, well, that's the light in the darkness I needed right now.
The teaser begins by regaling the audience with all the ways the original Pump Rulers entertained us through the years. It starts with Stassi Schroeder promising in the show's very first episode that "I am the devil, and don't you forget it" and ends with Scandoval. That's probably a mistake. Any trailer would suffer by comparison to 11 years' worth of great moments, and this one is no exception.
Producer Neal H. Moritz stated, "It just got to be too much" concerning Ryan Phillippe's absence from the reboot, mentioning they considered it would be "pushing it" to bring back all original cast members. He assured that their decision had nothing to do with a lack of love for Phillippe, and hinted at potential space for him in future sequels.
