The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor - Poster, Stills

Are you ready for the next entry in the The Mummy series? I cannot say I am terribly excited for it, but I did enjoy the first two films, and even the Scorpion King spin-off. This new outing transplants our hero, still played by Brendan Fraser, to the Orient where he will face off with an Asian mummy played by none other than Jet Li. Interesting choice. I have not seen any footage, but I like those two leads and have no doubt that it will not be a good film, but will certainly be a fun one. Joining Fraser and Li are Maria Bello (replacing Rachel Weisz), Luke Ford, and Michelle Yeoh. Rob Cohen is directing, and that does not instill a lot of confidence, as his track record includes the likes of Stealth and The Skulls. The screenplay was delivered by Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, most famous for Smallville. Take a look at the teaser:
