Writer/director Lee Cronin has decided to follow up Evil Dead Rise by making a Mummy movie... but not for Universal The post Evil Dead Rise director Lee Cronin is making a Mummy movie for New Line Cinema,

The Mummy,' a new take on the film subgenre from Lee Cronin, is in the works at New Line, Deadline has confirmed.

Mummies tend to be the movie territory of Universal, which famously has the titular character part of its cabinet of monsters in the 1930s and 1940s and revived this century in movies starring Brendan Fraser and Tom Cruise. Hammer Films, however, did its own The Mummy movie in 1959 that starred Christopher Lee.
