MUMMY 3 becomes much less interesting... bye-bye Rachel Weisz!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I can't say I blame Rachel Weisz for ditching the Mummy series. I'll be sad, because it was her presence that helped get me through them so far. But ditch it she has, according to Variety. They also report that Brendan Fraser will be returning after closing an incredibly lucrative deal. Good for him getting a payday, but he's not as adorable to watch... okay, he's close, but not quite as cute as Weisz. Rob Cohen is directing, Jet Li's the baddie (cool), Miles Millar and Alfred Gough (SMALLVILLE) are scripting.
