We are a few weeks away from the release of the first movie in the new Universal Monsters universe, the Tom Cruise-led The Mummy and SyFy have now provided us with a first look at the transformation that Russell Crowe goes through as he transforms from Dr. Jekyll into Mr Hyde.
Russell Crowe plays Dr. Jekyll, who runs Prodigium, a society dedicated to fighting monsters.
Tom Cruise headlines a spectacular, all-new cinematic version of the legend that has fascinated cultures all over the world since the dawn of civilisation: The Mummy.
Thought safely entombed in a tomb deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient princess (Sofia Boutella of Kingsman: The Secret Service and Star Trek Beyond) whose destiny was unjustly taken from her is awakened in our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension.
From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters.
Cruise is joined by a cast including Annabelle Wallis (upcoming King Arthur, television’s Peaky Blinders), Jake Johnson (Jurassic World), Courtney B. Vance (TV’s American Crime Story: The People V. O.J. Simpson) and Oscar® winner Russell Crowe (Gladiator).
This behind-the-scenes look at the film also gives us hints of things to come in forthcoming movies, including a brief snap of a skull perhaps belonging to Dracula.
The Mummy debuts in cinemas from the 9th June 2017. Watch the new featurette below.
