First Official ‘Drag Me To Hell’ Clip
It has been 10 long years since Sam Raimi terrified us with one of his nightmarish visions of hell (For Love Of The Game), so anticipation is incredibly high for Drag Me To Hell. And if you’re like me and one of the 29 or so people who haven’t already seen it, then you’ll be excited to know that AOL’s MovieFone has an exclusive clip for you to enjoy! Head on over and check it out HERE, or presumably on your cell phone. Because if there’s a good way to watch Sam Raimi’s legendary frenetic camerawork, it’s on a 3 inch Blackberry screen. Drag hits theaters on May 29th.

‘The Mummy 4’ – ‘Obsession’ Star Michael Johnston in Talks to Join Brendan Fraser
Brendan Fraser is back for the upcoming fourth installment in The Mummy franchise from directors Radio Silence, and Michael Johnston (Obsession) is now in talks to join him.
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know tonight that Michael Johnston is in “early talks” to join The Mummy 4, which will release in theaters on October 15, 2027 via Universal.
Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and John Hannah will reprise their iconic roles as Rick O’Connell, Evelyn O’Connell, and Jonathan Carnahan in the upcoming movie.
Radio Silence duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream 5-6) are directing from a script by David Coggeshall (Orphan: First Kill).
Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time, but the brand new sequel is expected to disregard the events of the third movie, in which Rachel Weisz did not appear.
“It’s just really beautiful and scary and sweeping, and it’s awesome,” Gillet teases. Bettinelli-Olpin adds that the film “has all of the heart and the character that you could hope for.”
A remake of the classic Universal monster movie that took an action-adventure approach, The Mummy was released in 1999 and grossed $417 million worldwide. It was followed by The Mummy Returns in 2001 and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008.
