Maria Bello will be taking Rachel Weisz's character in the next Mummy film, "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emporer".Bello went on record to say Evelyn "has the same name, but she's a very different character than Rachel played. She's a bad-ass action chick. I had to train a lot. I had to do wushu, a martial-art form, some kick-boxing, swordfighting, rifle training for a couple of months before we even started shooting."
Okay... This is sounding worse and worse by every moment. First Weisz bales out because of schedualing conflicts, so instead of writing the character out they replace her? With Maria Bello? If that's not an insult to classic beauty and talent I don't know what is. They should've just written the character out and had this actress play Eve's...cousin...or something. At first I was elated at the thought of a new Mummy film-- Mostly because I love the characters. But what made the characters so great were the actors and if Frasier's going to be the only one returning, I can't see this being as fun and nostalgic of a ride.
"The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emporer" arrives next year.
