The Mummy 3: Rob Cohen "CGI vs. No CGI"

BlackTree TV Host Kelly Hinton sits down with Director Rob Cohen to talk about the 3rd installment of the Mummy, shooting on 4 continents and CGI vs. No CGI.

The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Explorer Rick O'Connell to combat the resurrected Han Emperor in an epic that races from the catacombs of ancient China high into the frigid Himalayas. Rick is joined in this all-new adventure by son Alex, wife Evelyn and her brother, Jonathan. And this time, the O'Connells must stop a mummy awoken from a 2,000-year-old curse who threatens to plunge the world into his merciless, unending service. Doomed by a double-crossing sorceress to spend eternity in suspended animation, China's ruthless Dragon Emperor and his 10,000 warriors have laid forgotten for eons, entombed in clay as a vast, silent terra cotta army. But when dashing adventurer Alex O'Connell is tricked into awakening the ruler from eternal slumber, the reckless young archaeologist must seek the help of the only people who know more than he does about taking down the undead: his parents. As the monarch roars back to life, our heroes find his quest for world domination has only intensified over the millennia. Striding the Far East with unimaginable supernatural powers, the Emperor Mummy will rouse his legion as an unstoppable, otherworldly force... unless the O'Connells can stop him first.

mummy 3 sucked ass.

I wanted to love this movie, just like I love the previous two - but the casting was HORRIBLE!!! No chemistry between any of the actors. Maria Bello's accent was terrible, she looked older than Brendan in most scenes. And Alex, what happened to his English accent? He looked more like his brother than his son. The original Alex would've been about 17 or so now, they should've stuck with him, and with RACHEL WEISZ! It had potential, but the casting of Alex/Evie was ALL SORTS OF WRONG!

yea cause avatar i suppose isn't an epic cgi move? not to endorse avatar

[BaldurBG]

The worst thing of the third Mummy was that the film was TOO SHORT!

[Tim Lee]

thank you, for that. I love kisses. especially from black, bald men

Indeed, I'm ignorant as to how "take no attention" makes sense. Please enlighten me. There you go, calling people names again. You're so mean. Plus, I think you meant "Killing yourself"

[TheDM75]

You're just a dumb troll with no life aren't you? Get a life dumbass, the only thing you do best is piss off people with your ignorance. Kill yourself may be the solution.

[StormFetus]

"Douche"... You're just on a roll with the low-brow, aren't you? You still failed to explain what "take no attention" means, piglet.

[TheDM75]

actually i only like 1 rob cohen movie and its not this one so please go call "kid" to someone else. Ignorant douche.

[StormFetus]

I "take no attention"? Too many Rob Cohen movies, kid. Lay off the paint huffing if you're going to insist on replying.

[TheDM75]

you still take no attention to how dumb you are... i can't use any word for it.

[StormFetus]

Such a hurtful adjective, "dumb"... If you're going to resort to name-calling, perhaps you could do so more creatively when you question someone's intelligence.
