And so, because it is still some months until this film will be released On Demand, and who knows whether it will ever enter the coveted troves of Netflix, I’ve compiled a list of suggested viewing for everyone who has already pre-ordered tickets to The Mummy-as perhaps only I have at this point. Tom Cruise’s The Mummy promises to appeal to history-lovers, action film buffs and Cruise fans alike. Cruise has also taken up the Herculean task of replacing the lovable Brendan Fraser in this new reboot of The Mummy, an influential historically-themed action franchise that rocked the mid-aughts. Note to art thieves: this is what happens when you go grave robbing. That’s because on that day audiences nationwide will watch in awe as Tom Cruise, a.k.a., Nick Morton, seemingly steals thousand-year-old cultural objects from Egypt, the most important of which is an undead mummy, and unleashes a hell storm of unimaginable dark forces upon the Earth while not screaming, not even a little bit. On June 9, 2017, the world will change forever. In The Mummy, Cruise's character, Nick Morton, an Army sergeant/treasure hunter, stumbles upon a mummy's tomb and is almost instantly chosen as the human vessel for Set, the god of death. Tom Cruise has wrought destruction upon the Earth.
