Earlier this year, plans got underway for a “dark, scary” reboot of the Mummy franchise, and now the plans are getting firmer, with Deadline reporting of the hiring of Len Wiseman to direct the film. This will be a return to horror (theoretically) for Wiseman, who veered off into action with Total Recall and Live Free or Die Hard after helming the first two Underworld movies. Wiseman is a fine director, but given the Underworld movies are action-horror hybrids, this doesn’t fill me with confidence that the new Mummy will indeed be the return to its horror roots that it’s claimed to be. We’ll see when it hits the big screen — which is tentatively targeted for the summer of 2014.

It seems a week can’t go by without another “found footage” horror movie hitting the market, and the latest is Hollow, which is kind of like The Blair Witch Project with a British slant…and a monk instead of a witch…and no real scares to speak of. Read about it in my review of Hollow, currently available on demand.

I wasn’t a fan of The Collector, in part because the concept was so ridiculous, but watching the trailer for The Collection, it strikes me that INCREASING the ridiculousness — as this sequel seems to do — rather than decreasing it, might be the way to go. The Collection appears to amp up the action and the body count to a level that matches the outlandishness of the concept, and so, although I disliked the first movie, I have to admit that I’m hopeful about this new film. We’ll see if I’m right when The Collection hits theaters on November 30.
