“The Mummy 3″ Not Yet Approved for Chinese Release
Universal will have to make changes to “The Mummy: The Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor” in order to get the film released in China.
According to Variety, upcoming release of “The Mummy 3” is still pending until Universal makes unspecified changes to the flick.
The censors didn’t give any details about what would have to be cut from the film, but speculation has it that the source of the problem is “usually themes involving ghosts are taboo in China”.
A spokesman for Universal said:
“Universal does not anticipate any obstacles to clearing the film for China and looks forward to releasing The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor in the country where it was set and shot.”
Translation: “We just spent $145 million bucks on this movie, and we want some of those Chinese box-office dollars.”

Rob Cohen, “The Mummy 3″ director is considering to make a spin-off series from the character of Alex O’Connell who is played by Australian actor Luke Ford.
On Wednesday, March 5, the director expressed his hopes stating:
“We may spin off into a complete father-son direction with Brendan, but by getting an actor who is in his 20s and not a teenager, we can also put the future on his shoulders.”
Further, in an interview with the publication, the 26-year-old Luke Ford also revealed that the spin-off talk has indeed been done:
“There was talk at one point they might do a spin off series with Alex O’Connell depending on the success of this film…they’re picking me up to be in the franchise, not necessarily taking over it. I’d definitely like to be part of that series if they ask me again.”
“Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” that will bow in theaters on August 1, 2008 once again features Brendan Fraser as its star.
