It's little secret that Universal has been working on fresh takes on both The Mummy and Van Helsing, recruiting the writing talents of Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci to work on both projects.
It looks as if The Mummy is further down the road though, as Universal has a director in place for the new movie, and has now confirmed a release date.
The new Mummy will arrive in cinemas on April 16th 2016, and it's going to have Andres Muschietti at the helm. He was previously responsible for directing Mama.
There's no casting news yet, but this is a full-on reboot we understand, so it won't be Brendan Fraser. We'll let you know when we find out who does get the call...
