The third and much anticipated Mummy movie (titled The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor) has not even been released yet, and she's already inked a deal to star in a further 3 more sequels in the franchise.
After a long break...one of cinema's greatest archaeologists is making his way back to the big screen. But if Rick O'Connell's leading lady looks a little different, it's not the age....we know it's a different actress altogether! Which suits Maria Bello just fine.
Speaking to MTV News...she said that she was eager to step into the role of Evelyn Carnahan O'Connell (made famous in the first two Mummy films by Academy Award winner Rachel Weisz)i.
"Let me tell you, I like the other two movies. I love this movie. It's so dynamic and like nothing you've ever seen. Rob Cohen has so changed the franchise."
The blond actress understands that comparisons to Weisz (who reportedly refused to sign onto the sequel due to script issues) are of course expected. But despite the fact that she plays the same character, Bello insists that the roles are not that similar.
"I think Rachel is so brilliant, and she was beautiful in that part, but they wrote my character so differently, I felt like it was a totally different woman. She has the same name, but she's quite a different character."
While the official plot synopsis focusses on father-son duo Rick (Brendan Fraser) and Alex (Luke Ford)...waking the shape-shifting mummy Emperor Han (played by Jet Li), it's Bello..not the rough-and-tumble gentlemen...who gets the film's first kick-ass fight sequence, the actress revealed!
"In the beginning of the movie I do a sword fight with an invisible mummy. I had to be on wires and do sword work. It took days to do, and it was so much fun. I would do flips on the wire and I'd land down and be like a little kid."
Bello admitted to having so much fun that she's looking forward to three more Mummy movies...confessing that she's already signed on for a whole trilogy of sequels.
"I don't know when, but it's going. [There will] absolutely be 'The Mummy 4'!"
But is it too early to say what fans can expect in the fourth movie? Bello has a suggestion:
"Something that takes place in the Amazon."
I'm still going to keep an open mind when watching this third installment in the franchise..as I did like Rachel Weisz. Still...if the character has changed a little...then it Bello might be bring a refreshing change :) |
