With shooting on Universal's new monster movie The Mummy still under way, director Alex Kurtzman, star Tom Cruise and the other cast and crew have moved from the UK to Namibia in Africa. Co-star Annabelle Wallis posted a look at the main cast to her Twitter feed, which you can see below.
We also now have an official synopsis from the studio, which reads thusly: “Thought safely entombed in a crypt deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient queen whose destiny was unjustly taken from her is awakened in our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension.”
A couple of notable people are missing from the image (which also includes Jake Johnson and Courtney B. Vance), as Sofia Boutella is playing the queen in question and has been photographed on set in costume. Then there's Russell Crowe, who has a small role as Dr. Henry Jekyll, intended to start expanding out a shared monster universe that will eventually encompass the likes of The Wolfman, The Invisible Man, Frankenstein's monster and more.
It might all hinge on this first movie's success however, and The Mummy is scheduled to arrive in the UK on June 9 next year.
