This doesn't look like it'll be in the same vein as the Brendan Fraser movies.

The Mummy movies were fun. This will probably suck

From that trailer I thought I was watching a Mission: Impossible movie.

Looks pretty crappy.

So will this movie include some sort of tease for future Universal Monster movies?

Will the Universal monsters alli appear in a movie where a group of teenage misfits unite to prevent the monsters from opening a portal to some sort of hell dimension?

The MI movies have gotten increasingly better and better as they've gone on.

This one looks fun and exciting like the MI movies, not the same kind of fun & exciting the first Mummy movie was. That sequence on the plane has me looking forward to this.

That's their plan, I believe.

Yeah, Russell Crowe is apparently Jekyll/Hyde, Johnny Depp is The Invisible Man, Javier Bardem is Frankenstein's monster, Tom Cruise is... Tom Cruise, and then they're rebooting The Wolf Man, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Van Helsing, Dracula, etc. as well. All under the Universal Pictures umbrella. Basically trying to get in the same "cinematic universe" game as Disney/Marvel/Lucasfilm and WB/DC. So get ready for that, whether we like it or not. Alex Kurtzam, who co-wrote the first two Transformers and the first two of the new Star Treks is heading up the whole operation, if that tells you anything.

No Abbott and Costello?

Cruise might be a nut but he makes entertaining movies. This one looks pretty intriguing.

Dude is almost 55.

55.

Maybe worshipping Xenu has some good side effects.

55 is not old.

Looks entertaining. Also looks like Hollywood finally figured out all Tom Cruise movies should have a cargo-jet action sequence.

And running. Lots of running.

I always loved the old Universal monster movies, including The Mummy.

I thought the 1999 The Mummy with Brendan Frasier and Rachel Weiz was fantastic. Completely different movie. Almost an Indiana Jones movie. The sequel was ok and the Scorpion King films that followed, well, not so much.

I don't really like Tom Cruise but his movies have been pretty good. I liked Edge of Tomorrow a lot, as well as all of his Mission: Impossible flicks and Valkryie. I will be seeing this as well as any other monster movies that Universal reboots.

This should only be allowed if they include a scene where wolfman gets kicked in the nards.

They are going to do an entire franchise with actors under 5' 10"
