Okay - I'm sure I've ranted on here before about how much the 2nd Mummy movie
sucked monkey butt - but I'm sad to report they're actually making a 3rd one.
I watched the trailer here, and I was shocked to see that Rachel Weisz wasn't in it. I love her, I loved her character and how she interacted with Brendan Fraser's character. So when I saw in the preview Brendan Fraser kissing this other woman I was angry! I went onto IMDB and found out the synopsis and now I know I'll never see it.
Why?! Because they didn't just kill off Rachel Weisz's character - oh no - they did the unthinkable which was replace her with another actress!!! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!
Its official. The Mummy ended after The Mummy. There was never a return, never a Dragon Emperor - NEVER!!!
Warning! This synopsis contains spoilers
The blockbuster global "Mummy" franchise takes a spellbinding turn as the action shifts to Asia for the next chapter in the adventure series, "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor." Brendan Fraser returns as explorer Rick O'Connell to combat the resurrected Han Emperor (Jet Li) in an epic that races from the catacombs of ancient China high into the frigid Himalayas. Rick is joined in this all-new adventure by son Alex (newcomer Luke Ford), wife Evelyn (Maria Bello) and her brother, Jonathan (John Hannah). And this time, the O'Connells must stop a mummy awoken from a 2,000-year-old curse who threatens to plunge the world into his merciless, unending service.

Oh, damn, I hate when actors get replaced. That's what happened when Mortal Kombat: Annihilation was made. They replaced three of the main actors and people hated it. It was awful.
I have absolutely no interest in seeing this one. Not only does it suck that they replaced Rachel Weisz but the lineup sort of bugs me...I don't know why but I don't like Jet Li being in it...Jet Li vs. Brendan Fraser? Am I the only one thinking that his character would whip Rick? Just seems kind of goofy...
