Some Things Never Stay Buried: “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” Unleashes a Chilling Teaser Trailer

Some legends refuse to rest. Others return changed. In Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, the past doesn’t just resurface—it unravels everything it touches.

Following the record-breaking success of Evil Dead Rise, acclaimed writer-director Lee Cronin reimagines one of horror’s most enduring myths with a sinister, emotionally charged twist. Produced by genre heavyweights James Wan, Jason Blum, and John Keville, this chilling new film opens exclusively in cinemas beginning April 15, 2026.

When a Miracle Turns Monstrous

At the heart of Lee Cronin’s The Mummy lies a mystery rooted in grief and disbelief.

The young daughter of a journalist vanishes into the desert without a trace. Years stretch on. Hope fades. Then, eight years later, the impossible happens—she is found and returned to her family.

What should be a joyful, healing reunion slowly transforms into something far more disturbing. As strange behaviors surface and buried truths claw their way into the light, the family realizes the child who came back may not be the one who disappeared.

Ancient forces stir. Old curses awaken. And the nightmare begins.

A Fearless Cast and Creative Powerhouse

Leading the cast are Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Natalie Grace, with Veronica Falcón, delivering raw, grounded performances that anchor the film’s escalating horror.

Behind the scenes, Cronin collaborates with a trusted team of top-tier artisans:

• Dave Garbett, Director of Photography
• Nick Bassett, Production Designer
• Bryan Shaw, Editor
• Joanna Eatwell, Costume Designer
• Stephen McKeon, Music
• Terri Taylor and Sarah Domeier Lindo, Casting

Executive producers include Michael Clear, Judson Scott, Macdara Kelleher, and Lee Cronin.

Presented by New Line Cinema, Atomic Monster, and Blumhouse, this Wicked/Good Production reshapes a classic horror icon into something bold, unnerving, and deeply human.

A Legend Reborn for the Big Screen

Distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy opens only in theaters and IMAX® in North America on April 17, 2026, and internationally starting April 15, 2026.
