Not bad some pretty good action sequences worth the watch on HBO.

Lol. Same here. Randomly decided to give it a go on HBO recently and I walked away entertained.

third coast.. said:

i thought they were going to be world building with this franchise starting it off. whatever happened to that?


I think the lack of success with this film killed that.

Exactly. Then I think the cherry on top was some of the womanizing controversy with Johnny Depp as well, who was set to play the Invisible Man. Once this movie bombed, and then Depp became somewhat radioactive, the whole thing imploded. Alex Kurtzman, the director of The Mummy, was supposed to shepherd the entire expanded universe, but apparently there was also a lot of behind the scenes drama too, to the point where Kurtzman didn't want to work with Universal anymore after his experience on this. From the sound it, there were creative differences with Universal, and the final product wasn't the movie Kurtzman set out to make. Chris McQuarrie - the writer/director of the last two Mission: Impossible movies - was brought in to try and salvage it, but even he couldn't save it after all of Universal's meddling, apparently. Who knows the exact story, but the bottom line is that all the creatives on this movie share the sentiment that the movie we got wasn't the original intention.

(I still haven't seen it, btw. I may try to catch it, though, now that it's on the cable rotation.)

Wasn't another issue that Tom Cruise kept wanting to have a say in the script / story and creating conflict that way?

Cruise "having a say" is basically McQuarrie. He brings him onto nearly every one of his movies now. And McQuarrie seems to side with Kurtzman, so I don't think that would be it, but who knows.
