Creepy Kingdom’s Shannon McGrew speaks with writer and director Lee Cronin, along with producers James Wan and Jason Blum, about reimagining The Mummy for a new generation.
Instead of focusing on action and adventure, this version of The Mummy is designed as a full horror experience. The filmmakers discuss what makes the character still relevant, from its long history in cinema to the idea of something ancient and dangerous being uncovered.
Lee Cronin breaks down his approach to directing, including working with young actors, creating a safe but effective environment for intense performances, and designing a monster that evolves throughout the story. The team also talks about the importance of mystery, layered storytelling, and building a creature that reveals new details over time.
From practical effects to emotional performances, this interview explores how The Mummy is being reshaped into something darker, more unsettling, and more grounded in fear.
