Today, a report announced that Blumhouse and Atomic Monster will be developing a version of the classic story of The Mummy. The character is more closely associated with Universal Pictures alongside their other classic monsters like Frankenstein and Dracula. However, this version will be more horror-focused than action-adventure and be under New Line Cinema. Evil Dead Rise director Lee Cronin has been secretly working on this project since earlier this year. He said, “This will be unlike any Mummy movie you ever laid eyeballs on before. I’m digging deep into the earth to raise something very ancient and very frightening,” Production will begin sometime next year.

Blumhouse’s The Mummy has slated to hit theaters April 17th, 2026
