Director Stephen Sommers reveals that Brendan Fraser's The Mummy remake was nearly very different, citing plans to stick to the original 1932 film.
Stephen Sommers, director of Brendan Fraser’s 1999 version of The Mummy, has revealed that the film nearly took a very different approach before his involvement. Loosely based on the classic 1932 horror film of the same name, the 1999 film saw Fraser joined by co-stars Rachel Weisz and John Hannah as they battled the resurrected Egyptian priest Imhotep.
There had been half a dozen different writers and directors on it. In fact, the guy before me was John Sayles and he was gonna write it and direct it. His script was actually good, but it all took place in Los Angeles because for nine years, they were basically trying to do a remake of the Boris Karloff Mummy. Which is ridiculous. I love the Boris Karloff [version], but I had no interest in remaking that movie.
