Not to be confused with The Mummy with Tom Cruise. I haven’t watched that one, but…it didn’t look good.
Haha, exactly why I added the link!

Wait… are those movies not the same universe? I haven’t seen either.

What movie is it, if you don’t mind sharing? I feel like I know it, and it’s on the tip of my tongue, but I’m blanking. My brain is embarrassing haha

The Mummy with Braden Fraser. It’s technically a trilogy, but the third one is awful.
The Godfather effect dictates that a trilogy often has no third movie.

No, the Tom Cruise one was a reboot as part of universals Monsters Universe idea, but it bombed so bad they killed the whole idea.
You can see remnants of their original plan in the Frankenstein ride at Epic Universe in Orlando. Basically the idea was Frankensteins daughter trying to collect/contain all the monsters for her own purposes.

Makes sense if you’ve seen the movie
Which is…?

Which is…?
a collection of still images played at a constant framerate and paired with audio matching what is shown, usually for entertainment purposes

Surely you can’t be serious!

The Mummy 1999. An excellent pulpy action-adventure-horror film starring Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and Arnold Vosloo. Has a fun sequel, The Mummy Returns, which itself has a fun prequel titled The Scorpion King.
There is a third Mummy movie titled The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Do not watch that one; the script was so terrible that Weisz refused to return. I’m unsure about the various sequels to The Scorpion King.
There was a reboot released in 2017 starring Tom Cruise. It’s terrible, do not watch it.
A new movie in the 1999 continuity is being released in 2028. Fraser and Weisz are confirmed to return.

We’re getting a fourth movie with Fraser and Weisz in 2028. I’m kind of hoping they just remove the third one from continuity.

I am. And don’t call me Shirley.

Thank you for elaborating, no notes. I am now perfectly at ease with the current state of affairs.

Glad to be of help! Let me know if there’s anything else I can assist you with.

What movie? It looks intriguing…
You are in for such a wild ride.

Technically the framerate does not even need to be constant! It’s not rare to have minor fluctuations for effect; though following this thought through one could argue that slow-motion segments are actually higher framerates.
The question then becomes are we talking about the raw footage or the processed clip? Then we also need to ask about different regions and systems, that can have different standards for output. Then the source material could be one framerates, and the output could be another!
… What was I doing again?

… But that’s not important right now

Ahhh. I think I saw that in theaters in the long ago. Time for a rewatch apparently

I’ve only heard one statement about the Tom Cruise reboot; “The most interesting thing about that movie was the trailer they mistakenly released without any audio”
So… not glowing reviews.

I don’t remember one without audio. I do remember one without finished audio. The placeholder double scream was glorious.
