It’s the mummy’s time to shine.
Big news for classic monster fans, Lee Cronin is set to write and direct The Mummy, a film produced by Atomic Monster, Blumhouse and Doppelgängers, for New Line.
“This will be unlike any Mummy movie you ever laid eyeballs on before. I’m digging deep into the earth to raise something very ancient and very frightening,” said writer/director Lee Cronin.
As previously announced, Atomic Monster and Blumhouse are co-financing the film. James Wan, Jason Blum and John Keville are producers on the film. Michael Clear, Judson Scott and Macdara Kelleher are executive producers. Alayna Glasthal is the executive overseeing the project for Atomic Monster.
Cronin’s last film Evil Dead Rise for New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Pictures grossed nearly $150 million worldwide.
The film is scheduled to be released in theaters on April 17, 2026. Keep it locked to Horror News Network for more on The Mummy.
