Where, I ask, is the Ryan Murphy miniseries to track the tragedy of Brendan Fraser, a charismatic, compelling actor shunned by studios the moment his hair thinned and he gained a pound or two. He meticulously choreographed his every movement, and all mummies were later added to the shot with computer-generated imagery, matching his moves. And now they’ve taken away our only chance, and spit in our face by giving his most iconic role to a guy who gets to do it all the time, and who also can’t even scream. I swear, if they replace Fraser’s videos on Universal Studios Mummy roller coaster with a scientologist, I will never see another movie again.įeud on FX shows the underbelly of a capitalistic Hollywood system that uses actresses like Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, and then disposes of them when they are no longer deemed fuckable. The scene where O'Connell saves Evelyn from the sacrificial slab was filmed with Brendan Fraser fighting against invisible mummies. When do we get to see Brendan Fraser dangling from helicopters and brandishing firearms? Never. They cast Tom Cruise, a man with already countless action movies to his name, who audiences already get to see dangling from helicopters and brandishing firearms in a new movie every year. They did not even have the dignity to cast a younger actor (Cruise is six years Fraser’s senior) or a fresh face. Fraser was not cast in his iconic role of Rick O’Connell. A chance to revitalize the career of one of our most beloved actors! A chance to #SaveBrendan!” But my silly dreams were dashed in but a moment. In its capricious cruelty, Hollywood has made the decision to create a new Mummy film, also called The Mummy, also a loose remake of the 1932 horror film.
