“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.”

‘The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor’ Trailer in June
Rob Cohen, director of the upcoming sequel ‘The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor,’ told that the low-key marketing of the film will ramp up with the release of the first trailer in June - but not a moment sooner.
“The trailers that Universal cut have a lot of the most complicated visual effects, and there is so much more in the movie,” said Cohen. “But this is something they want to focus on, and I don’t want it out before those effects are finished.”
Despite the film’s fast-approaching August 1st release date, Cohen said he isn’t concerned that the film is still off the summer radar.
“We have an audience that knows the name, and we’re not trying to create audience recognition from ground zero. I think if we have a solid couple of months to advertise, no one will miss it. [Audiences] will have made up their minds, but I don’t want them to make up their minds on incomplete work.”
Talking about the third installment in the franchise, Cohen said: “The whole approach is different. The sets are bigger, and they are less digital. It builds on the legacy, but it’s a very different movie.”
