Buzzy genre filmmaker Lee Cronin (Evil Dead Rise) will write and direct The Mummy, a new film in the horror subgenre for New Line, Deadline has confirmed. Plot details are under wraps. Atomic Monster and Blumhouse will co-finance and produce alongside Cronin’s Doppelgängers for release on April 17,

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.

The Mummy is getting a remake, and fans of the original '90s movie starring Brendan Fraser will want to hear all about this new/old monster.
