The Weatherman’s War: Scott and Fraser Star in Pressure

A taut WWII drama centered on Captain James Stagg, the meteorologist who advised delaying the Normandy landings, as Andrew Scott’s wary weatherman clashes with Brendan Fraser’s Eisenhower. Adapted from David Haig’s stage play by Anthony Maras, Pressure is a lean 100-minute chamber piece that foregrounds weather, science and leadership, delivering tense, quietly gripping performances and a timely meditation on truth, expertise, and decision under pressure.

When the Forecast Decides D-Day: A WWII Weather Thriller

THR’s review of Pressure deems Anthony Maras’s WWII drama a taut, cerebral thriller about the weather forecast that could decide D-Day. Focusing on meteorologist Dr. James Stagg (Andrew Scott) and his clashes with Irving Krick and Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser) over whether to delay the invasion, the film—based on David Haig’s stage play and using archival footage—builds sustained tension across the 72 hours leading up to the operation, with Scott delivering a standout, nuanced performance. Release date: May 29, 2026.

Brendan Fraser says he’s training hard to return as Rick O’Connell in The Mummy 4, which is slated for a October 15, 2027 release. He chatted with Jimmy Fallon about reassembling the band — reuniting with Rachel Weisz and John Hannah for the long-awaited sequel — and noted his first action role in years as he works to get in shape at 57. Weisz, who played Evelyn in the first two films, is set to reprise her role, with John Hannah also back, following the franchise’s weaker 2008 installment Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.

Cronin Debunks The Mummy Rumors and Explains How Test Screens Shaped Its Ending

Lee Cronin explains that Brendan Fraser isn’t in his The Mummy and that rumors James Wan walked out of a test screening are false; the title never shifted from Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, and test screenings led to a more crowd-pleasing ending with a hopeful coda, plus a personal wake scene. He also discusses UK poster controversy and says he plans to pursue more ghost-story projects after finishing The Mummy.
