The Mummy is being unwrapped from the dead once again.

Lee Cronin is writing and directing a new take on the horror trope revolving around the ancient mummified undead for New Line, The Hollywood Reporter can reveal.

The project was previously only known as a Cronin mystery movie that had been announced earlier this year and is now set for an April 17, 2026 release.

Horror powerhouses Atomic Monster and Blumhouse, along with Cronin’s banner Doppelgängers, are producing.

Plot details are being kept in the sarcophagus but Cronin is hoping to breathe modern life into ageless evil.

“This will be unlike any Mummy movie you ever laid eyeballs on before,” he said in a statement to THR. “I’m digging deep into the earth to raise something very ancient and very frightening,”

The news was confirmed with post on Blumhouse’s

Atomic Monster and Blumhouse are co-financing the film.
