You know a blockbuster is destined for greatness when the masters of the mockbuster decide to strike. Hot on the heels of the buzz surrounding Lee Cronin’s highly anticipated IMAX release of The Mummy, the legendary team at The Asylum is answering the call with their own film—also conveniently titled The Mummy.
Billionaires, Amulets, and Ancient Curses
In The Asylum’s movie, an Egyptologist possesses the haunted “Bride of the Dead” amulet. Enter a greedy tech billionaire who believes this ancient Egyptian artifact holds forbidden magic. The billionaire wants to use the amulet to awaken a deadly mummy curse and unlock the ultimate corporate perk: eternal life.
The Cast & Crew
Written and directed by Maurice Chauvet, this slice of indie genre fun features some fantastic, seasoned talent. B-movie lovers will immediately recognize the names. It stars Jon Jacobs, Lisa Zane, and Siena Goines.
Here’s the good part: you don’t have to wait 1000 years to watch The Mummy; it’s out today on Digital, so grab a snack, hit the lights, and watch it. While you’re unwrapping The Mummy, check out The Asylum’s other recently released films, Frankenstein’s Bride and Anacondas.
