Because The Undead Crave Pizza!! A New & Cool Trailer For THE MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR Unwraps On The Internets...

Papa John's tie-in? by skimn	Jun 20th, 2008 12:21:19 PM
The all new rice based crust Mongolian Pizza?
Yup, by skimn	Jun 20th, 2008 12:22:21 PM
an hour later, you want to order another... Don't forget to tip your waiter, and try the veal.
slice it any way you like, try any toppings, cheese in the crust by seabiscuits	Jun 20th, 2008 12:27:00 PM
the mummy films still suck.

Ha!
Looks great by Lerkst	Jun 20th, 2008 12:29:53 PM
Loved the first one, second one was 'meh'. But this one seems to have an edge not seen yet. It's got a great release date too.
The Mummy 3 Pizza by skimn	Jun 20th, 2008 12:33:14 PM
with extra cheeeeeeesssssseee.
It's scary... by Junior Frenger	Jun 20th, 2008 12:36:25 PM
... that this could actually be better than "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". Okay, it's just sad really, but I thought the headline sounded better.
got me more excited than the indy trailer by s0beurself	Jun 20th, 2008 12:37:13 PM
not saying that it'll be better. but that's def. a better trailer.
It does look OK... by Boba Fat	Jun 20th, 2008 12:59:24 PM
Who'd a thunk it?
Rick O Connell series by lex romero	Jun 20th, 2008 01:02:12 PM
Who was it that suggested the films should have become a Rick O Connell series with him taking on a diferent mythical creature in each one (dracula, wolfman etc) rather than just another mummy? That idea was kinda cool.
Trailer more entertaining than all of Indy 4 by PhxMonsterGuy	Jun 20th, 2008 01:08:43 PM
Well, the Mummy 3's trailer was far more entertaining than all of the putrid Indy 4. Plus Yeti's and a Ghidorah-like dragon? I will be there opening day.

Papa John's tie-in by EriamJH	Jun 20th, 2008 01:16:24 PM
I'll be spilling garlic butter all over your movie seat before you sit down!
DGDB by skimn	Jun 20th, 2008 01:17:26 PM
I just looked that up myself. Couldn't believe he turns 40 this year. Johnny Depp looks younger the older he gets...damn actors!!
Maybe this will inspire Spielberg for Indy 5 by TooWhippy	Jun 20th, 2008 01:19:34 PM

Papa John's has this...Domino's has a Gotham City Pizza... by FilmCritic3000	Jun 20th, 2008 01:24:03 PM
Weird...I just had Papa John's for dinner last night. Anyway, it looks like the movie marketing people are foregoing the usual burger chain tie-ins this time, which is a nice way to shake things up.
FUCK PIZZA! by Series7	Jun 20th, 2008 01:30:03 PM
ICE CREAM PARTY AT WORK!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO! Thank you corporate america!
kung fu statues, wampas, dragons! by ls420	Jun 20th, 2008 01:32:46 PM
its 420, but it looks fun.
The Mummy 3 should inspire a new internet meme by ThrowMeTheIdol	Jun 20th, 2008 01:35:51 PM
"They really resurrected the mummy", for when a movie series does the same thing yet again. Like "Sure Daniel Craig is a bit different as Bond but the rest of the film will resurrect the mummy, don't worry."
Wow...that looked great! Best trailer of the summer! by Mahaloth	Jun 20th, 2008 01:41:09 PM
Well....except maybe the Dark Knight.
Looks fun! by Super Rabbi	Jun 20th, 2008 01:47:38 PM
I liked the other 2, they weren't great, but fun.
Resurrect the mummy by Dominic-Vobiscum	Jun 20th, 2008 01:48:39 PM
Should be a euphemism for getting a boner. Just saying.
This should of been made 2 years ago by bobjustbob	Jun 20th, 2008 01:48:40 PM
that way Lucas and Spielberg could of gotten a clue. I thought the first MUMMY was silly and fun. I thought the second MUMMY was silly and not fun. This trailer looks pretty good.
True story by bobjustbob	Jun 20th, 2008 01:50:25 PM
A few years ago after my annual physical my doctor gave me cake. Alas, she had no ice cream. At least she didn't offer me any.
Looks good! by m.dung	Jun 20th, 2008 01:50:26 PM
Loved the first one - hated the second. You know John Hannah was begging for this fucker to be made! $$$
The same money... TWICE! by David Cloverfield	Jun 20th, 2008 01:53:16 PM
I had a few beers and this shit looks awesome. Like "the kind of movie we've been waiting for" awesome. I'll sit in the theater with beers for sure.
We got Big Trouble... by I Dunno	Jun 20th, 2008 01:54:27 PM
in Rachel's vagi---oh wait wrong movie and actress.
I HATE TO SAY IT, DAMN I HATE TO SAY IT... by depalma25	Jun 20th, 2008 01:57:53 PM
But there are more aesthectically pleasing moments in this trailer than the entire INDY 4 debaccle. I have a feeling it will still be a turd though. Rob Cohen has mad a decent movie since...since...okay one scene in Dragonheart, where the dragon swims underwater, and the score swells. That's it. And I think Jessica Biel was half naked in Stealth.
i meant "hasn't" made a ... by depalma25	Jun 20th, 2008 01:58:30 PM

First one was ok by Rat Fink	Jun 20th, 2008 02:01:48 PM
Second didn't bring anything new and this one just looks like shit. Talk about 1999 cgi fx.
Did they just deliberately... by eXcommunicated	Jun 20th, 2008 02:10:13 PM
...ignore Maria Bello the ENTIRE trailer? We get 3 millisecond shots of a raven haired woman, who we are to assume is "Evey" and they don't even mention her character once.
Mummy Returns by eXcommunicated	Jun 20th, 2008 02:11:04 PM
Best thing about that flick was the fucking hot knife fight flashback. Who's with me?
Nothing screams pizza.... by Yeti	Jun 20th, 2008 02:27:30 PM
Like hordes of undead Asian warriors. Mike mine with extra cheese and the low fat zombies.
This Trailer is Much Better than the First One by kevinwillis.net	Jun 20th, 2008 02:32:05 PM
And makes me more excited to see this film. But I thought the Mummy 2 was perfectly good, for what it was. Not great, but I certainly enjoyed watching it. I think this film will be better than Mummy 2, if nothing else.
Jet Li+King Ghidorah+Maria Bello=Fun Movie by stuatfunnyordie	Jun 20th, 2008 02:45:22 PM

INDY 4 by bobjustbob	Jun 20th, 2008 02:52:27 PM
I am still after nuking the fridge into a jungle full of monkeys and gophers for each and everyone who liked INDY 4. I guess we're even. :)
SHIT A YETI! by Series7	Jun 20th, 2008 02:58:41 PM
Will be this years Nuked the Fridge.
ass-rape and INDY 4 by bobjustbob	Jun 20th, 2008 02:59:09 PM
is two things I would wish upon no one. Both inflict a pain upon the victim that no person should every have to endure.
are two things... not is two things by bobjustbob	Jun 20th, 2008 03:00:29 PM
Damn my poor Grammar! And Damn You !
Doh! And Dam You [insert name here]!!! by bobjustbob	Jun 20th, 2008 03:01:24 PM
Damn you HTML parser!!!!
Heyyy it looks pretty damn fun by zillabeast	Jun 20th, 2008 03:10:32 PM
I think I am sold. Count me in!
This looks... really lame by mefrog	Jun 20th, 2008 03:11:40 PM
Unless solid word of mouth says otherwise, I'll be ignoring this when it's released. I can't stand Brendan Fraiser in these films and those stupid one liners he always shouts out... and my eyes are hurting from the amount of CGI I've had to ingest over the past year. Sorry, I'll stick with Indy 4.
Brendon Fraser by Toonol	Jun 20th, 2008 03:12:58 PM
is this generation's equivalent if Doug McClure. Hunky actor, will never get Hollywood accolades, but turns out one semi-entertaining piece of action fluff after another.
Can't we all at least agree on one thing by bobjustbob	Jun 20th, 2008 03:33:54 PM
Phil Collins sucks. Are you with me?
No expectations seem to be the key by dr_buggerlugs	Jun 20th, 2008 03:40:07 PM
I mean who cared about another Mummy film? Hence why this one looks somewhat entertaining - going a different direction helps, as does Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh shame about the lack of Weisz but I like Bello plenty fine so no complaints there) though I couldnt help but notice that the new Alex seems to have a dreadful accent. Ah well.
Two Indy movies this summer with by the podosphere	Jun 20th, 2008 04:00:31 PM
the adventurers' grown-up kids? Sweet!
I still say this looks fun. by MR. MURDOCH	Jun 20th, 2008 04:39:20 PM
I will be there. Perhaps not opening weekend (I can't give Cohen THAT much satisfaction), but I will be there. And yeah, why isn't Michelle Yeoh given ANY billing?? "This has not been a Talkback Post about Indy 4."
Rachel Weisz by WickedMonster	Jun 20th, 2008 04:59:15 PM
Sigh. I cry every time I see her. I guess MUMMY 3 won't make me cry.
That three-headed dragon looks like SHIT ON A BUN by Kurzinski Valentine	Jun 20th, 2008 05:09:01 PM
fucking dreadful.
Looks good enough to see in the theatre for me.. by Alfred_Packer	Jun 20th, 2008 05:29:34 PM
..but what do I know, Ive seen Indy IV multiple times, and I love it.
What if this turned out to be good? by Redfive!	Jun 20th, 2008 05:38:25 PM
That would so funny.I have very little to NO expectations with movies anymore but this looks like a fun filled adventure...and sometimes thats all that I need.
I have very low expectations. by The Outlander	Jun 20th, 2008 05:49:12 PM
It just looks like a film that has just copied a bunch of other films.
That three-headed dragon looks like SHIT ON A CRUST by finky089	Jun 20th, 2008 06:10:35 PM
I think that's what you meant, Kurz. Shit on a crust smothered in Mozzarella, fresh veggies, and Rob Cohen's famous white sticky sauce.
I REALLY HATE MUMMIES! by Oski	Jun 20th, 2008 06:21:51 PM
And I really hate cheesey bad dialogue.
Back on the orginal Mummy films for a sec.. by Alfred_Packer	Jun 20th, 2008 06:25:21 PM
As a die-hard Indy lover, as well as the older source material, I've always held a soft spot for the two Mummy films. The first one Ive always loved, and seem to get sucked in even when in its been on cable so much recently (if its on a hi-def channel). I wouldnt expect to find it on Turner Classics now or anytime in the future, but its still a very enjoyable movie for me. The shot of all the cowboy-types on the boat firing away going "Yeehawww" and the (sp?) "Ammmerrricans..." line always gets a big laugh. Second one is okay( you have to dock points for the blimp and CGI at the end, 'natch, only a broken reel could take you out of the film more), but it doesnt get nearly the replay around here like the first one does. I think Fraser works well in the role, though when he's fighting all the mummies at the end I cant help but get a misty-eyed fanboy hankering for Bruce Campbell to step in and kick even more ass. The score in the first one is rising up the charts here too lately.
Subtitled the Yetian by shran	Jun 20th, 2008 06:37:59 PM
...is the new Nuked the Fridge.
Will watch this by Itto Ogami loses Daigoro	Jun 20th, 2008 06:41:10 PM
Just to see Jet Li vs. Michelle Yeoh again like in Tai Chi Master.
If Papa John's really wanted to make an impact by terry1978	Jun 20th, 2008 07:12:35 PM
They'd offer free slices in the theatre to everyone that attends this showing. Two birds with one stone, Copernicus.
trailer downplays Rachel Weisz's absence... by chromedome	Jun 20th, 2008 07:23:15 PM
hardly shows Maria Bello, and cuts so fast that you can hardly tell who it is. I like Maria Bello, too, but will miss Rachel in this. Seems like the studio marketing folks are concerned about the impact of her absence, too.
FUCK Yes, this will ROCK! by krullboyisback	Jun 20th, 2008 07:27:56 PM
finally a summer movie that realizes it is a summer movie! Now only if Brendan Fraser rides a taun-taun and gets attacked by the wampa in the trailer all will be right in the universe! And bring on the Arnold Vosloo cameo! You all know you want it!

Rather get a urethral catheter than watch this movie by briantag	Jun 20th, 2008 07:43:07 PM

Count me in by SirLoin	Jun 20th, 2008 08:10:34 PM
I'll just pretend Fraser is wearing a fedora the whole time. And dream of what could have been.
I agree SirLoin, indeed by krullboyisback	Jun 20th, 2008 08:12:31 PM
I felt more excited about this trailer than KOTCS, which is a shame
Now wait a second!!! by BetaRayBill07	Jun 20th, 2008 08:48:22 PM
Ann Hathaway's Pink Taco? Must have one. Please.
Yeah, it's better than the first trailer by AlwaysThere	Jun 20th, 2008 09:02:16 PM
And that one was quite good too. I'll be in the theater watching this.
Looks WAY better than Indy 4. Count me in. by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	Jun 20th, 2008 09:13:48 PM
I liked the first 2 and the scorpion king so I am a fan. This trailer looks better than the entire Indy 4 movie.
Yeti by Dark Knight Lite	Jun 20th, 2008 11:25:07 PM
That's why I'm going.
who the F says..... by j2talk	Jun 20th, 2008 11:41:52 PM
"the Expession "nuked the fridge" is so popular now" Popular? my ass...it is a weak example of people trying too hard to coin a phrase..and its getting very old ....I had my fill of it the second time i saw it posted..it sounds like something I might hear coming out of the mouth Francis from PvP....
Brendan Fraser Doesn't Look... by SMARTASS8	Jun 21st, 2008 12:00:45 AM
Old enough to have a son that age. The son looks like he's a few years younger than his "dad". If Weisz didn't want to be in this movie, they should have pulled an Alien3 and killed her and the son offscreen. The uncle was the only supporting character worth bringing back.
So... by JonRD463	Jun 21st, 2008 12:35:44 AM
Apparently the only good thing to come out of Bram Stoker's Dracula is the opening music. I hear it used in so many trailers, it ain't even funny.
Fraser by j_ky2002	Jun 21st, 2008 01:25:57 AM
should have been Johnny Storm in the FF movies. It wouldn't have saved the shitpile that was made of those two films, but it would have made them slightly more enjoyable. Jessica Alba.
Can't be better than Indy 4 by Orionsangels	Jun 21st, 2008 01:54:16 AM
No John Williams music. What's sad is there trying to impress us in 2008 with a million man CGI army. That's so late 20th century/ early 21st century. Didn't ROTK milk that cow dry in 2003?
so its basically the same formula by bacci40	Jun 21st, 2008 04:57:50 AM
good popcorn movie...nothing more, nothing less...but fraser kinda creeps me out
This WILL be better than Indy 4 by performingmonkey	Jun 21st, 2008 08:27:52 AM
I mean, it's not exactly hard to beat. But this looks like a fun sequel, not that much substance but that's what everyone is expecting. Perfect popcorn fodder.
The most annoying thing... by DocPazuzu	Jun 21st, 2008 09:19:16 AM
...about "nuke the fridge" is that it's apparently supposed to be the new "jumped the shark". Most people using it in this context don't properly understand the original phrase. It's not just the point where a film takes a nose dive into the unbelievable. When Fonzie jumped the shark, it was during the Jaws craze in the 1970s, meaning that Happy Days ludicrously tried to cash in on a pop cultural phenomenon in order to restore the show's ratings. Indy 4, while shit in many other ways, attempted no such embarrassing maneuver. In other words, "nuke the fridge" was deader than shit even before it left the gates. So please, for the love of decent memes everywhere, drop that lame-ass phrase.
This looks so much better than Indy & the Crystal Balls by football	Jun 21st, 2008 09:51:32 AM
I thought the recent Indy film was dross. However, this Mummy film looks much more fun than the series it mimiced. How crazy is that?
Let me get this straight... by Horned One	Jun 21st, 2008 10:03:23 AM
Surviving a small nuclear blast from a couple miles away by hiding in a lead-lined fridge is ridiculous, while a 3000 year old box of sand that melts peoples' faces off is brilliant cinema? Really? I mean, really?!
DGDB "nuke the fridge" is a let down/copy by g-ride9000	Jun 21st, 2008 10:05:11 AM
just like everything else in the cinima. "Nuke the Fridge" is not as funny as the old expression. Just like how Indy4 was not an improvement.
You all bitched about the CGI in Indy 4 by I Dunno	Jun 21st, 2008 10:13:55 AM
much of which wasn't even CGI. This is practically a cartoon and you're jerking off all over it.
Sucking Shit Together - Mummy's & Papa's by ElvisPresLeeHorsleyHarveyOswaldO prahWinFreeJackHorkheimer	Jun 21st, 2008 11:01:39 AM
Papa Fucking John's!? - The worst corporate pizza on the planet, bar none. - they were HUGE supporters of GW Bush as well. FUCK PAPA JOHNS PIZZA!!!! They represent allot of what is wrong with the USA.
Apparently those people saying that this will be good haven't se by godely3	Jun 21st, 2008 12:21:25 PM
What has been said about the Mummy 3 is that it is mainly bad.I mine you know a film heading in the wrong direction if it just rips of Indiana Jones The Temple of Doom at the start of the film. If you don't believe me go to IESB.net they have the full review. This doesn't surprise me since the mummy films have always been awful films. I'll be honest sometimes I really feel bad for Brendan Fraser who will be being remembered for this series.
Still needs Rachael Weisz... by tvspace	Jun 21st, 2008 01:22:34 PM
.... sorry.
I've never seen either films but my gut tells me... by GQtaste	Jun 21st, 2008 01:41:52 PM
... that I haven't missed anything to begin with. Come on? Brenden Fraser? Please. I don't care how bad Indy 4 was, this one won't be on par w/ that one. And yes I dig Weisz and esp. Bello but don't like the dude from the Pauly Shore film from when I was a kid. Name escapes me. And don't get me started on Mr. Cohen. If he makes a decent film than I"ll eat my hat! Uwe could give him a run for his money.
And the dudes that wrote this masterpiece have by GQtaste	Jun 21st, 2008 01:46:53 PM
on their resume: Lethal Weapon 4, Shanghai Noon, Showtime w/ Eddie and Robert D, Herbie Fully Loaded, Spiderman 2, Aquaman. Not exactly my type of entertainment. But that's ok. "One mans trash is another ones treasure," as they say.
Brendan Fraser... by MorbidObesity	Jun 21st, 2008 02:57:37 PM
...has a really fun film coming out this summmer, but it's not this one.
conspicuously absent Rachael Weisz by I Dunno	Jun 21st, 2008 06:54:45 PM
They'd be better off killing off the character than trying to conceal her absence. And the son is like 21 now? What is he, Worf's son?
Indy 4 haters by IndyCollector	Jun 21st, 2008 09:32:59 PM
Are douchebags. They claim the new Mummy movie will be better but yet if Indiana Jones went up against a three-headed dragon or a walking mummy they'd bitch about it being too far-fetched.
SCORPION KING vs. DRAGON EMPEROR by Smoke Monster Loves Kate	Jun 23rd, 2008 08:52:42 PM
Let's go. And wtf? He did put down two mummies... Imhotep or whatever the bald dude's name was and the Scorpion King.
what the hell @ his son being older than mutt williams by Smoke Monster Loves Kate	Jun 23rd, 2008 08:54:05 PM
while brendan fraser looks the SAME AGE as the other movies? and indy's kid being hardly a teen while he's an old man. it's like a twilight zone version of Indy 4. looks like it has a better premise though.
was that the fucking abominable snowman. by Smoke Monster Loves Kate	Jun 23rd, 2008 08:56:28 PM
why's this movie look so much better than indy 4. aside from fraser being the worst part of this and ford being the best part of indy 4.
