TL;DR

In a Variety interview, Lee Cronin explains his ultra-gory, R-rated spin on The Mummy, including why Jason Blum urged him to put his name in the title. Shot in Ireland and Spain with Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, and May Calamawy, the film centers on an American family whose daughter is found alive in a tomb, delivering a fresh, terrifying twist on the classic monster while nodding to influences like The Exorcist, Seven, and Poltergeist.
