Die Mumie 3: Das Grabmal des Drachenkaisers

[SFI]

Nach "Die Mumie" und "Die Mumie kehrt zurück " wird Brendan Fraser nun auch im dritten Teil "The Mummy 3" mitspielen. Die Dreharbeiten für die Universal Pictures-Produktion sollen im Spätsommer dieses Jahres beginnen, ein Starttermin im Sommer 2008 wird angepeilt. In Deutschland wird der Film von Universal Pictures International Germany vertrieben.

Regie wird der Actionexperte Rob Cohen ("xXx - Triple X ") führen. Neben Fraser wird auch Jet Li in dem Film mitspielen, dessen Handlung dieses Mal in China angesiedelt ist. Rachel Weisz, die in den ersten beiden Teilen der Trilogie zu sehen war, hat ein Rollenangebot für "The Mummy 3" hingegen abgelehnt. Weisz hat allerdings schon verschiedene andere Projekte in Planung ("The Brothers Bloom" und "Dirt Music").

Kihi...vielleicht mit nem Gastauftritt vom Diesel... ;)

Ich denk der Cohen darf nach Stealth nicht mehr?!

[John Woo]

Dem gehört die Berufslizenz entzogen!!!!

Ich gucke mir lieber zum 1000 Mal "Broken Arrow" an, der spielt zwar nicht lange in der Luft, aber rockt wenigstens die Scheisse und hat Schauspieler an Bord, die sich wenigstens Mühe geben und teils auch sehr cool sind (Travolta!). 8-)

[Taran-tino]

Was hat denn Broken Arrow jetzt mit Stealth zu tun, dass sind ja nun wirklich zwei paar Schuhe.
Ich mag den Stealth aber, gibt nix besseres an einem richtigen Männerabend. 8-)

Ich denke, dass "Stealth" eher zu einem Kiddie-Nachmittag passt - so zwischen 2 Playstation-Runden und Big Brother! 8-)

Pühh.

STEALTH passt immer, wenn´s laut und intellektuell völlig unanstrengend sein soll. Ich seh den so als moderne Big Budget-Version der IRON EAGLE-Reihe.

Die dritte Mumie werd ich mir auf alle Fälle anschauen, auch wenn ich mich vor Vorfreude nicht gerade zerfetze.

[John Woo]

@Taran-tino: Haben beide einen Stealth-Flieger mit drinne, ergo: Es besteht ein Verbindungspunkt.

Und wer nix besseres als Stealth an einem Männerabend kennt, der sollte sich mal "Crank" anschauen.

Up-and-coming Australian actor Luke Ford ("Kokoda", "The Black Balloon") has snagged the ‘kid’ role in the next "Mummy" movie.
The 26-year-old - who some may recognize for his role as Craig Woodland on TVs "McLeod's Daughters" - will play the role of Alex O’Connell, the adventurous son of Rick O’Connell, played by Brendan Fraser.
Rob Cohen, the director of "The Mummy 3", tells Variety that "We may spin off into a complete father-son direction with Brendan (Fraser, who played the adventurer who battled the monster in the first two installments), but by getting an actor who is in his 20s and not a teenager, we can also put the future on his shoulders. He tested against four much more established actors, and he was magic when he read with Brendan."
Surprisingly, the trade also says that they’re still going to use the character of Evie O’Connell, the character that Rachel Weisz played in the first two movies, despite the fact that Weisz has opted not to return. Six actresses are believed to be in contention to play surrogate.
In "The Mummy" sequel, Ford will play Alex O'Connell, the 20ish son of adventurer Rick O'Connell (Fraser), who journeys into the forbidden tombs of China and into the Himalayas, where they run into a new shape-shifting mummy, a former Chinese emperor who was cursed by a female wizard.
Jet Li plays the mummy, Michelle Yeoh the wizard

Na toll das die Evies Character neu besetzen dann sollen die sie lieber ganz streichen als eine neubesetzung zu machen

"Variety" meldet, dass Maria Bello ("A History of Violence") in "The Mummy 3" als Evelyn Carnahan O'Connell zu sehen sein wird. In den beiden ersten Filmen der Reihe spielte Rachel Weisz die Abenteurerin.

Die weiteren Hauptdarsteller in dem Film werden Brendan Fraser, Luke Ford, Jet Li und Michelle Yeoh sein. Rob Cohen wird Regie führen, das Drehbuch schrieben die "Smallville"-Schöpfer Miles Millar und Alfred Gough.

Right now I’m in Montreal directing "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" which is the third in the series created by Stephen Sommers. My film stars Brendan Fraser, Maria Bello, Jet Li, John Hannah, Michelle Yeoh, Anthony Wong, and new-comers Luke Ford and Isabella Leong.
I am taking the story to a new place: China. Jet Li plays a despotic Emperor in 50 B.C. whose evil is punished by a terrible curse laid on him by wizardress Michelle Yeoh: he and his army are turned into to terra cotta for all time; that is, unless he is re-awakened which, of course, is where the O’Connell’s come back into it.
The story moves to the year 1946. When we find them, Rick (Brendan Fraser) and Evelyn (Maria Bello) are retired to Oxfordshire, England, having been spies for the British during World War II. They are bored silly and welcome the offer of "one last mission" from the Foreign Office. Their assignment: courier a precious artifact back to the museum in Shanghai, China from which it was stolen.
Back to Asia: China is in turmoil but Jonathan (John Hannah) owns an Egyptian-themed bar in Shanghai. Unbeknownst to his parents, now grown-up Alex O’Connell (Luke Ford) is following in the family business as a young archaeologist on a dig in north-central China. He makes the discovery of a lifetime: the tomb of the Dragon Emperor, which has been buried for millennia. A beautiful assassin (Isabella Leong) tries to kill him to keep the location secret but Alex prevails. The Emperor’s monument is transported back to Shanghai where another plot is in motion: military zealot Anthony Wong intends to awaken the Emperor and aid him in the re-conquest of China and the raising of his terra cotta army of ten thousand clay warriors (google The Terra Cotta army of Xi’an if you want to read more about the history of this wonder of the ancient world).
The family is reunited and high adventure ensues: crash landings, treks thru the Himalayas, Yeti, avalanches (bigger than the one I did in "XXX"), Shangri-la, three-headed dragons, pools of eternal life, epic battles, a shape-shifting Jet Li...I could go on but I don’t want to give it all away.
As you can tell, I’m stoked about what I’m creating up here with some of the best collaborators. Beside the cast, Simon Duggan ("Live Free or Die Hard" "I, Robot") is my director of photography and the production is being designed by Nigel Phelps ("The Island" "Troy" and "Pearl Harbor") and, of course, the powerful stunts of Vic Armstrong. Steve Sommers, Bob Ducsay, and Sean Daniel produce.
From time-to-time, I will be sharing some of my progress here on the site. We have shot about five weeks of our twenty-week schedule so there is a long way to go until July 30th next year when the movie hits the theaters.

Maria Bello takes over the role of Evelyn Carnahan from Weisz, who played the character in the first two Mummy movies but bowed out of the third.
"She has the same name, but she's a very different character than Rachel played," Bello said in an interview. "She's a bad-ass action chick. I had to train a lot. I had to do wushu, a martial-art form, some kickboxing, swordfighting, rifle training for a couple of months before we even started shooting." Bello added: "It's the role of my dreams. It is just a blast."
Bello will soon join co-stars Brendan Fraser and Jet Li for two months of shooting in China.
Bello said that after a few weeks of rehearsal, she sustained a black eye after getting butted by a Winchester rifle, but added that she's fine now. "I'm looking forward to the doll, too, though," she said cryptically

Kein adäquater Ersatz. Die ist vom Typ irgendwie zu ernst für die Rolle, keine Ahnung...

[MysteryBobisCREEPY]

Kihi, Du hast doch keine Ahnung, die Bello wird das Kind schon schaukeln, die kann auch anders, das ne ganz Große :)

[freeman]

Da ich Fan von beiden bin, kann ich allen Ernstes behaupten: Maria is kein Ersatz für Rachel ...

Jet Li is finally has joined us in Montreal and the production has palpably kicked up into a higher gear. As I shoot our "trekking through the Himalayas" sequence where our heroes are searching for Shangri-la, I am madly refining the Emperor/Rick O'Connell fight with stunt co-ordinators Ku Huen Chzu (known to everyone as Dede) and Mark Southworth. It's a real contrast in styles, Brendan's and Jet's, highly balletic, powerful Wushu vs. the brutal directness of Krav Maga plus magic and shape-shifting creatures leading to the the climax aided by Luke Ford and the clash of armies overhead. I have seven days to shoot it so this will be my last entry until China. We wrap here next Thursday; then I'm off to L.A. for less than twenty-four (obstetrician and VFX meetings with D.D. and R&H) then straight to Beijing and Tian Mo, the desert three hours north of the capitol
