Weisz Wants Mummy III
Sequel could shoot next summer
September 11, 2006 - Hot on the heels of news that Brander Fraser has signed on for The Mummy III comes word that Rachel Weisz, Fraser's co-star in the first two films, also wants on board. French film news site Écran Large caught up with the starlet at the 32nd Deauville American Film Festival.
"I would definitely like to take part," declared Weisz, revealing that she knew about the new script but hadn't had a chance to read it yet. She added that nothing about the flick was definite quite yet. Her involvement with the third Mummy film could also depend on production being scheduled for next summer.
Weisz can next be seen on the big screen opposite Hugh Jackman in Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain.
Joe Johnston (Jurassic Park III) has been offered the director's chair for the third film in the franchise.
The script was written by Smallville and Shanghai Noon vets Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. Plot details for the movie were not divulged. Stephen Sommers, who wrote and directed the first two installments, is apparently not involved with this sequel.
Universal appears to be on track for a Mummy 3 shoot next year.
