The trailer without music or sound effects was the most interesting part of this movie. It gives a glimpse of how editing works to people who don't know anything about editing.
To be fair sometimes you can just forget to turn a track back on if you're editing something that required that track to be muted. I do some editing stuff for a casting company and when I'm double checking I may notice I forgot to turn something back on when I'm done. How it managed to get uploaded though is mind-boggling.
The fact Alex Kurtzman is still finding work in Hollywood while hundreds of genuinely talented screenwriters rot in obscurity is proof positive that sometimes, evil DOES win.
"As Kurtzman struggled to adjust to scope of the project, it felt more like Cruise was the real director, often dictating the major action sequences and micro-managing the production, according to sources. There were other ways that “The Mummy” was transformed from a scary summer popcorn movie into a standard-issue Tom Cruise vehicle. The actor personally commissioned two other writers along with McQuarrie to crank out a new script. Two of the film’s three credited screenwriters, McQuarrie and Dylan Kussman, an actor-writer who played small roles in “The Mummy” and “Jack Reacher,” were close allies of Cruise’s. The script envisioned Nick Morton as an earnest Tom Cruise archetype, who is laughably described as a “young man” at one point. His writers beefed up his part. In the original script, Morton and the Mummy (played by Sofia Boutella) had nearly equal screen time. The writers also added a twist that saw Cruise’s character become possessed, to give him more of a dramatic arc. Even though Universal executives weren’t thrilled about the story - which feels disjointed and includes Russell Crowe as Dr. Jekyll - they went along with Cruise’s vision. And the crew fell in line too, behind Cruise as the boss. “This is very much a film of two halves: before Tom and after Tom,” said Frank Walsh, the supervising art director, at a London screening of “The Mummy” this week. “I have heard the stories about how he drives everything and pushes and pushes, but it was amazing to work with him. The guy is a great filmmaker and knows his craft. He will walk onto a set and tell the director what to do, say ‘that’s not the right lens,’ ask about the sets, and as long as you don’t fluff what you’re saying to him … he’s easy to work for.” Once the film was done, Cruise brought in his longtime editor Andrew Mondshein to piece together the final picture. (The film’s credits also list Gina and Paul Hirsch as editors.) He spent time in the editing suite overseeing the cutting, which everybody agreed wasn’t working. On the lot, there were differences of opinions about whether Cruise’s directions were improving a picture that had been troubled from its inception or whether they were turning a horror film into a Cruise infomercial. Some believed that Cruise had no choice but to assert himself. Given Kurtzman’s inexperience directing tentpoles, Cruise, who has carried heavily choreographed action movies all his life, had to try to rally the troops or risk having the production fall behind schedule." - Variety, "Inside ‘The Mummy’s’ Troubles: Tom Cruise Had Excessive Control"
Tea Burn The same crap that makes them think women over 30 can't be love interests, so the guys over 50 keep dating characters who go to school with their daughters.
Just biology. Males retain sex appeal longer. A large percentage of females find older men attractive...just as attractive...or even more attractive. Doesn't do any good to complain about it. Blame god if you believe in that stuff. Blame evolution if you don't. Males are able to reproduce well into old age.
Tom Cruise had a bit too much control of the direction and writing in this movie! There is a lot of lame in this movie but Tom being called a young man was just sad.
Murtaza Rizvi Nothing can make that movie look like a masterpiece,also the actors playing Rick's son and wife killed any suspense,at least this one has that
The Mummy isn’t the first flop for Universal’s “Dark Universe.” They really want you to forget the film that was supposed to kick things off, Dracula Untold. We need an Honest Trailer for that!
@@TheAeris07 Dang, I still love "I Frankenstein" to bits and pieces. All the main actors did a splendid job, and the transformation of the gargoyles from true form to human form still makes me giddy with joy.
Agree. That movie was a masterpiece in comparisson with this one. It was so bad, that my mum who thinks Fast n Furious movies have good plot did not like the Mummy's plot.
And even before THAT there was talks of rebooting more classic monsters after 2010s underrated The Wolfman. (An even better movie than BOTH of those). A Universe wasnt planned at first but I remember it was talked about after its release but never materialized. What a mess.
Dracula Untold was, indeed, better than The Mummy... but it was still absolutely horrendous, to the point where I couldn't even finish watching it for free. It was that bad. Somehow, this was worse. It was like they decided to take all the worst things from Dracula Untold, Suicide Squad and the Transformers and jam them all into one movie.
Tom Cruise and Alex Kurtzman were the problems and I heard that Kurtzman might leave The Dark Universe. Because he is a hack and look at what he did to Transformers in 2007 and 2009, he focused more on the human than The Autobots and Decepticons. Also Cruise was the problem because of his involvement in that cult and The Mummy wasn't the first film he ruined, he did the same thing to Stanley Kubrick's last film Eyes Wide Shut. According to R. Lee Ermey, Cruise and his then wife Nicole Kidman turned the film into shit and Kubrick thought that the critics would crucify him because Cruise and Kidman had their way with him. Also I believe what Ermey said and Ermey even thinks that Cruise is a piece of shit. Universal has 17 months to make adjustments by seeing what went right and what went wrong with The Mummy before Bride Of Frankenstein hits the big screen.
Kind of unrelated, but I have to write this somewhere: has anyone noticed how Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are obsessed with ressurection? Star Trek: Into Darkness, Amazing Spider-Man 2 and 3, Transformers 1 and 2, Sleepy Hollow and now this. There's clearly something creepy going on with those guys, like they're continuously seeking relics to unleash an ancient evil in real life, but more importantly: it keeps many of their screenplays from being good.
Before seeing Guardians of the Galaxy 2 in a theater they had an as for this hideous remake of The Mummy. There is one point when Some character says to the Tom Cruise character “A great evil has chosen you” and my teenage son leans over to me and whispers “Scientology”. I just about bust a gut laughing. Another point in time Said awesome kid muttered said,rather softly “I hate mummies!” And a guy not far from us said “ Yes! Exactly!” Then Complimented me on raising my son well.
That cameo actually got me violently angry because this piece of crap was 10 kinds of unfunny. Frasier's Mummy was hilariously bad (those CGI effects? Wow, those have me rolling in my seat.) but this was uncomfortably bad. And putting the Book of the Dead in there and referencing a much better movie just pissed me off.
DisneyLover258 not to mention all they did with it, was wack a dude. I mean it's the fucking book of the dead, how is that not the most useful weapon in your arsenal, and all they did was hit a guy with it
Honestly, and I've been critical of your trailers in the past, this is easily one of your best written honest trailers. Congrats Screen junkies, you guys just keep getting better and better.
Honestly, I don't get that one. Homeschooled students score significantly higher on average on most standardized tests than public schooled students. The specific amounts vary, but I can't find a study that suggests the score lower or even the same as public schooled students. I just don't get where the joke is coming from.
Patrick D Homeschooling only goes through high school, and colleges legally have to allow homeschoolers who pass the entrance exams to enrol, so the comment woudln' t imply he didn't have a Ph.D. any more than mentioning the specific high school he attended would.
It bothered me that they made Set the god of death. Sure, Set is generally considered evil, but why make stuff up? Gods of death are usually not even evil in mythology, yet Hollywood makes them the evil ones time and time again. This time they took an actual evil one and then turned him into the god of death. /sigh
Yep. Anubis was the God of Death and the Afterlife. He wasn't seen as evil in ancient Egypt. In ancient Egyptian mythology, after you died, Anubis would weigh your heart in a scale, and if your heart was lighter than a feather, Anubis would allow you into the afterlife, but if your heart was heavier than the feather, then he'd feed your soul to a crocodile. It was a way to determine your guilt/sin.
As someone that hasn't seen the movie. What???! why?! Whats wrong with using Anubis or Osiris? either of them could have been acceptable as their god of death, why Set? do they intend to use him in other movies or something and that's why they did that?
OMG, I thought I was the only one deeply annoyed by that! The powers the mummy had in the movie lined up with much of the actual things Set was the god of, like the desert, storms and violence. (I think animals were one of those things too if I recall.) It would have made much more sense to go with the real Set but nooooo... they just *had* to change Set to the god of death because death is so s-s-scaaaaawwwyyyyyy.
Aipe97 Actually the god Anubis has already been used a great deal in several movies and TV series over the last forty years. Remember Stargate-SG1, The Mummy Returns(ehhh), The Pyramid(an underdeveloped movie), an episode of the GI Joe animated series. Usually he is playing a villain.
@@dull_entertainer2857 splil wasn't that good it just had great acting from james mcavoy and anya taylor joy If they were using different actors it would be unwatchable
Sad thing is that it had the trappings of a good movie. Only problem is that we spent all the time following around Cruz instead of making Amunet the main character and the weird monster hunter organization the villains. Like, it's pretty clear by the ending that they wanted to make the mummy a recurring character. So why not just use the mummy herself instead of giving her powers to Cruz?
am i the only one who thinks this universe deserves another chance? i'm not defending the movie because it's an epic failure of cinema. but the universal monsters deserve better and should be way more appreciated then they are now. so they should just try again with a different writer and director.
Universal's "Dark Universe" had a lot of potential, by bringing back the classic movie monsters, and breathing new life into them. But sadly, just like with Warner Bros & their DCEU, Universal put in next to no effort into long term planning and build up. I think maybe they could have worked out a deal with Guillemero Del Toro to have "The Shape of Water" be the kickstart to the Dark Universe instead, seeing as that shows huge appreciation for the creature from the black lagoon.
yup that would be awesome i love Guillemero Del Toro he would have made it an instant classic and the Gillman is the most underrated of the universal monsters. They could have done it like in iron man where iron man wasn't a very popular character until the movies came out.
also Guillermo del toro made the hellboy movies and one of the main characters Abe looked a lot like the creature from the black lagoon so it should have been him to direct the dark universe he is just awesome anyway.
SFNDMK in the movie he's shocked that a mummy is alive, no reason why he would be if he'd already fought mythical creatures in 3 previous movies, also no mention of the wife and kid, the director is talking shit
Mark Young well, Tom cruise character is not the same one from the previous movies. Plus I'm assuming that the mummy now takes place in the present, while the Brendan Fraser one takes place on the early 20th century
Annie Nunyabiz Tom Cruise is really one of the few actors left in Hollywood that has a noticeable affect on his movies box office and as such is one of Hollywoods few left superstars. I don't really mind cruise but if you are wondering why they dug him up, it's because he makes money.
the third one doesn't even have a mummy in it :S and the second has egyptians fighting with chinese tools made into weapons... oh, wait, now i see the connection....or not.
Now that they will do a "behind-the-scene" movie of The Room, I guess there will be an Honest Trailer about it pretty soon ^^ Also how's your sex life ?
That's like making an Honest Trailer for Citizen Kane or Gone With The Wind - no words or pictures can ever do it justice in its entirety. You can only... oh, hi Mark!
Nobody gets how to make a good cinematic universe... nobody except Marvel. You don't scream in people's faces it's going to be a cimematic universe! First, you make half a dozen entirely self-contained movies with nothing more but very loose and brief references to a bigger universe. If you don't mess these movies up, _then_ we can talk about a cinematic universe!
Yeah, all the other studios are so desperate to grab that cash RIGHT FREAKING NOW that they aren't willing to put in the time and set-up movies necessary to get it right. Like, Marvel took over a dozen movies worth of character and world development just to get TO their Civil War movie, DC tried to do it in...two? Including the actual civil war movie.
Dc really screwed it up. At least Dark Universe just had things you might notice to excite you for later movies. Dc heres a ten minute segment of Batman looking at 20 second clips of charecters you might not know but we're totally squeezing into the next film.
Although it was released after this post was created, Sony's Into the Spider-Verse was a pretty strong opening for a cinematic universe, and it somehow managed to do this while simultaneously being a Spider-Man origin story, a Spider-Man deconstruction story, a Spider-Man reconstruction story, *and* an Avengers-style world-saving team up movie where none of the versions of the characters in the film have ever had movies of their own (though both Peter Parker and Peter B. Parker are implied to have lived through what seems to be a variation of Tobey McGuire Spidey's life). Also, does Fox's X-Men series count as a cinematic universe, considering that Wolverine got 3 solo movies after the series started with a world-saving team up film (though I think that Logan was supposed to be from an alternate timeline, and the other two movies, and at least X-Men 3, may have been retconned out of existence due to Days of Future Past)? I'm also not sure where to put the Deadpool films on this spectrum, since I'm betting that they aren't *actually* canon to the primary X-Men films.
@Pat Mgroin Well, yes, but this conversation is probably referring mostly to the DCEU, which has as big a portion of the cultural zeitgeist as Spider-Man or the X-Men.
WTF are you smoking? The end of Iron man 1 revealed that the Avengers would be a thing. It was planned the entire time. The extent of it was probably unclear, but Marvel was never just going to make a couple iron man movies and call it done.
And it also features an actually strong female protagonist as well. Rachel Weisz actually is really solid and one of the most underrated female badasses in any movie.
Screen Junkies but y'all should do the whole Brendan trilogy! You could talk about how the 1st one was amazing, the 2nd one was pretty good too, and then talk about how we all pretend the 3rd one didn't happen 😂😂😂
Back in the good old times people were actually talking about the movies in here, now %90 of comments "say this - do that - say this - do that"... enough already
Kinda since the original IT was pretty different from the book and the "remake" is much more accurate. I mean, besides the basic premise, it isn't all that similar, and the remake is a far superior movie. The original is just average, while the 2017 IT is one of the best horror movies in recent years and is one of the best Stephen King adaptations of all time.
Say: "If you're hearing this, get help. A youtube channel called screen junkies is keeping me locked in a basement and forcing me to narrate their videos. If I don't comply they make me read weird comments while they torture me."
I've always seen these honest trailer movies while scrolling through trending but this is the first time I've watched one. And honestly where have I been these are amazing
Same with JHorror. I really REALLY hope It's unexpected success convince the idiots at Universal that horror movies are profitable in order for them to start doing actual horror movies with their monsters, and not laughably bad action movies trying to make the Avengers monster version.
El Ochentero For these types of movies they need the right director and cast. Classic monster movies are beloved for how they make even terrifying characters sympathetic in a way,which is one of the many things that the Mummy reboot failed to do. If I was Sony,I found get new directors and replace them with Guillermo Del Toro,J.A. Bayona,James Wan and John Logan. They have proven themselves to be great horror movie directors and would most likely make the movie have some decent scares. Also some of them have proven that they can make sympathetic monsters.
I agree, but although the originals made the character sympathetic some of the remakes manage to do it so too, like Imhopet in the Brendan Fraiser movie, or Dracula in Coppola's and Robert De Niro's Frankenstein Monster. Is not impossible, but indeed those directors could make it work.
I was super bummed by this movie I couldn't believe they put zombies into it seriously I love the Brendon Frasier movies that Where taken from a Anne Rice book this lacks all of it though and just turned into a mess.
Taken from an Anne Rice book? Are you actually trolling? Seriously those movies taken from Anne Rice...okay, I'm sure that's news to her as well! The only A Rice connection here is Tom Cruise who played Lestat in Interview with a Vampire.
Adi B Anne Rice wrote a novel called The Mummy but it has nothing to do with the Brendan Frasier movies, but does have a female mummy in it, and there all similarities end.
@Tina. I agree with you. The Mummy starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz is my favorite movie of all time. Even though I haven't seen this new one I'm not much of a fan of Tom Cruise first of all and I highly doubt that it follows the original movie very much.
I'm just curious. No judgement. But what do people, who are aren't just scared but have an a phobia, find particularly scary about clowns? Is it the make up? Or is 'normal' circus clown make up okay? Or just the ones made to be scary?
William Holmes I've basically been asking them to do Pr for the last two years every other trailer. They could fill a screen with my requests for it. The movie is an easy lay up for an honest trailer.
I would have liked to see what Idris Elba could have brought to the movie as the main lead. Plus, since Idris Elba is much taller and larger, it makes more of an impact visually when you see this large tower of a human being worried and threatened like everyone else.
The trailer without music or sound effects was the most interesting part of this movie. It gives a glimpse of how editing works to people who don't know anything about editing.
Jofe_co I had never heard of that one so I'm off to find it. Good thing Honest Trailers doesn't forget.

Honestly, I don't get that one. Homeschooled students score significantly higher on average on most standardized tests than public schooled students. The specific amounts vary, but I can't find a study that suggests the score lower or even the same as public schooled students. I just don't get where the joke is coming from.
Indiana Jones has a PhD. You can't get one of those via home-schooling.
Patrick D Homeschooling only goes through high school, and colleges legally have to allow homeschoolers who pass the entrance exams to enrol, so the comment woudln' t imply he didn't have a Ph.D. any more than mentioning the specific high school he attended would.
lol
Wasn't Henry Jones Jr. actually homeschooled by Henry Jones Sr.? Like the flashbacks specifically showed him quizzing his son on Latin.
Nothing will beat the first two Mummy movies with Brandon Fraser
And then... they stopped making them. Very wise.
Nicolas Matteo Brandon, Brendan, it's all the same thing.
Yup they stopped after 2.
But wait, they made a third one! oh wait no they didn't. :)
No they didn't, they made a third movie..
It bothered me that they made Set the god of death. Sure, Set is generally considered evil, but why make stuff up? Gods of death are usually not even evil in mythology, yet Hollywood makes them the evil ones time and time again. This time they took an actual evil one and then turned him into the god of death. /sigh
Yep. Anubis was the God of Death and the Afterlife. He wasn't seen as evil in ancient Egypt. In ancient Egyptian mythology, after you died, Anubis would weigh your heart in a scale, and if your heart was lighter than a feather, Anubis would allow you into the afterlife, but if your heart was heavier than the feather, then he'd feed your soul to a crocodile. It was a way to determine your guilt/sin.
As someone that hasn't seen the movie. What???! why?! Whats wrong with using Anubis or Osiris? either of them could have been acceptable as their god of death, why Set? do they intend to use him in other movies or something and that's why they did that?
OMG, I thought I was the only one deeply annoyed by that! The powers the mummy had in the movie lined up with much of the actual things Set was the god of, like the desert, storms and violence. (I think animals were one of those things too if I recall.) It would have made much more sense to go with the real Set but nooooo... they just *had* to change Set to the god of death because death is so s-s-scaaaaawwwyyyyyy.
Aipe97 Actually the god Anubis has already been used a great deal in several movies and TV series over the last forty years. Remember Stargate-SG1, The Mummy Returns(ehhh), The Pyramid(an underdeveloped movie), an episode of the GI Joe animated series. Usually he is playing a villain.
Jeffrey314159 but isn't Anubis technically a benevolent god?
I'll keep asking for this... please say: "ho ho ho... now I have a machine gun." RIP Alan Rickman
Isn't it the other way around? "Now I have a machine gun. Ho..Ho..Ho". Still, would be cool if he said it.
Actually, the narrator already did it. Watch Honest Trailer Labyrynth

Get Out, I don't believe It, it would totally Split the market.
Lee Anderson uhm, split was from the craziest director ever, M. Night Shamalayan
@@dull_entertainer2857 splil wasn't that good it just had great acting from james mcavoy and anya taylor joy If they were using different actors it would be unwatchable
Tom Cruise runs from sand featuring the mummy. I laughed so hard.🤣
Sad thing is that it had the trappings of a good movie.
Only problem is that we spent all the time following around Cruz instead of making Amunet the main character and the weird monster hunter organization the villains.
Like, it's pretty clear by the ending that they wanted to make the mummy a recurring character. So why not just use the mummy herself instead of giving her powers to Cruz?
Please say " I've written so many comments but none of them have made it "
Lucius King with you man.
Spencer Carroll I've been there
Heath Ledger is the best joker
he already said that
Yeah finally it has been time.
The amount of bad directors and writers in charge of movies with hundreds of millions of budget is something I will never understand.
Hollywood and Disney have gotten… VERY STUPID!!!
Where's Stephen King's It miniseries, Jon?
DUD!!!!!
You are damn right!!!
Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000) HONEST TRAILER, Please?
I agree. I want It.
House Tarygaryean
Joshua Baratheon no one would watch that
You didn't mention the Golden Book from Brendan Fraser movies.
Plz say "Of all the honest trailers, in all the comments sections, in all the world, he reads mine."
This film reference. I like it.
am i the only one who thinks this universe deserves another chance? i'm not defending the movie because it's an epic failure of cinema. but the universal monsters deserve better and should be way more appreciated then they are now. so they should just try again with a different writer and director.
Universal's "Dark Universe" had a lot of potential, by bringing back the classic movie monsters, and breathing new life into them. But sadly, just like with Warner Bros & their DCEU, Universal put in next to no effort into long term planning and build up. I think maybe they could have worked out a deal with Guillemero Del Toro to have "The Shape of Water" be the kickstart to the Dark Universe instead, seeing as that shows huge appreciation for the creature from the black lagoon.
yup that would be awesome i love Guillemero Del Toro he would have made it an instant classic and the Gillman is the most underrated of the universal monsters. They could have done it like in iron man where iron man wasn't a very popular character until the movies came out.
Agreed. They did somewhat fine with Dracula Untold.
also Guillermo del toro made the hellboy movies and one of the main characters Abe looked a lot like the creature from the black lagoon so it should have been him to direct the dark universe he is just awesome anyway.
I cant agree man, Hollywood doesnt have the capacity to retread classic minster movies and make them actually good.
Please do the Brendan Fraser Trilogy!
Please please please!!!
I feel this sudden and inexplicable urge to start a plan with T- Mobile.
NO DON'T !!
T-Mobile is owned by Umbrella Corp. the creators of T-Virus !!
Can you do *IT* ??? You can do *IT* , right? The 1990 miniseries one.
*cries* I just had flashbacks to my 5 year old self watching that. I think I'll sleep with the lights on :(
Do the "Baby Driver" honest trailer
I think we need an Honest Trailer for T-Mobile now.
Say: "There's a snake in my boot!"
Talking about Brendan Fraser... You know his movies are actually cannon according to the director
That would make absolutely no sense
Mark Young well, I wouldn't no cos I haven't seen the movie. But that's what the director said
SFNDMK in the movie he's shocked that a mummy is alive, no reason why he would be if he'd already fought mythical creatures in 3 previous movies, also no mention of the wife and kid, the director is talking shit
Mark Young well, Tom cruise character is not the same one from the previous movies. Plus I'm assuming that the mummy now takes place in the present, while the Brendan Fraser one takes place on the early 20th century
4:20 is it real? they posted the trailer without the sound? O.O
Sadly yes they posted the trailer without sound FX or music.
And it plays at 4:20
Coincidence? I'll let you be the judge of that
Please say, "I like my bad guys like I like my M. Night Shyamalan plots: FULL OF HOLES!!!
"They dug up the rotting, bloated corpse of... Tom Cruise."
Fixed it for you.
Annie Nunyabiz yes lol I hate him 😂😂😂
Annie Nunyabiz Tom Cruise is really one of the few actors left in Hollywood that has a noticeable affect on his movies box office and as such is one of Hollywoods few left superstars. I don't really mind cruise but if you are wondering why they dug him up, it's because he makes money.
I though he was gonna say Tom Cruise too. It would have been better satire.
It's a funny line, but the "fixed it" thing pushes me towards not liking it just enough. However, a very good line.
Annie Nunyabiz I would have married the Mummy Princess. :O
"you are a younger man" 🤣 🤣 🤣
even russell crowe is younger than tom cruise
But he's had less surgery.
I love it how he flipped out 😂 "SHIT LIKE THIS IS WHY PEOPLE DON'T GO TO THE MOVIES ANYMORE" 😂😂😂
Why have't you do The Mummy 1999 trilogy yet !!!? I have cried out for 3 years
shouhei00 YES. And they should MURDER the third one.
Elizabeth Klemm Yeah it was kind of bad😑
shouhei00 ugh that one was the worst
the third one doesn't even have a mummy in it :S
and the second has egyptians fighting with chinese tools made into weapons...
oh, wait, now i see the connection....or not.
Honestly the trailer with the sound issue was best than the actual movie
Please Do an Honest Trailer for The Room!
Now that they will do a "behind-the-scene" movie of The Room, I guess there will be an Honest Trailer about it pretty soon ^^
Also how's your sex life ?
That's like making an Honest Trailer for Citizen Kane or Gone With The Wind - no words or pictures can ever do it justice in its entirety. You can only... oh, hi Mark!
sorinmask You're my favorite commenter
Whyyyyy Liam, whyyyyy????
So any way how is your sex life?
Has anyone forgotten the about The Scorpion King?The Rock was awesome in that.
I liked that one too. Parts of it were pretty corny, but still better than Tom Cruise's version of the Mummy.
He was the scorpion king for a minute in the 2nd movie.
Please say : "The sun is shining... But the ice is slippery."
Hold on a sec, Tom Cruise is 55 and he still looks that young?! Dude is practically immortal! Are we sure HE'S not the Mummy?
That's an old meme tho
life treated tom cruse good
Nanomachines, son.
So did a shitton of plastic surgery and the wonders of modern CGI.
"Fightin' round the world" LOL!!!!!!!!!
I wonder what Tugger is doing these days?
shot itself again after seeing the movie?
Just went to Universal for the first time....That Mummy ride was AMAZING!!!

You got that right

Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000) HONEST TRAILER, Please?
Say "We are the Borg. Resistance is futile."
DarthRushy ALL BORGS WILL BE DELETED!
Nobody gets how to make a good cinematic universe... nobody except Marvel. You don't scream in people's faces it's going to be a cimematic universe! First, you make half a dozen entirely self-contained movies with nothing more but very loose and brief references to a bigger universe. If you don't mess these movies up, _then_ we can talk about a cinematic universe!
Yeah, all the other studios are so desperate to grab that cash RIGHT FREAKING NOW that they aren't willing to put in the time and set-up movies necessary to get it right. Like, Marvel took over a dozen movies worth of character and world development just to get TO their Civil War movie, DC tried to do it in...two? Including the actual civil war movie.
Dc really screwed it up. At least Dark Universe just had things you might notice to excite you for later movies. Dc heres a ten minute segment of Batman looking at 20 second clips of charecters you might not know but we're totally squeezing into the next film.
Although it was released after this post was created, Sony's Into the Spider-Verse was a pretty strong opening for a cinematic universe, and it somehow managed to do this while simultaneously being a Spider-Man origin story, a Spider-Man deconstruction story, a Spider-Man reconstruction story, *and* an Avengers-style world-saving team up movie where none of the versions of the characters in the film have ever had movies of their own (though both Peter Parker and Peter B. Parker are implied to have lived through what seems to be a variation of Tobey McGuire Spidey's life).
Also, does Fox's X-Men series count as a cinematic universe, considering that Wolverine got 3 solo movies after the series started with a world-saving team up film (though I think that Logan was supposed to be from an alternate timeline, and the other two movies, and at least X-Men 3, may have been retconned out of existence due to Days of Future Past)? I'm also not sure where to put the Deadpool films on this spectrum, since I'm betting that they aren't *actually* canon to the primary X-Men films.
@Pat Mgroin Well, yes, but this conversation is probably referring mostly to the DCEU, which has as big a portion of the cultural zeitgeist as Spider-Man or the X-Men.
WTF are you smoking? The end of Iron man 1 revealed that the Avengers would be a thing. It was planned the entire time. The extent of it was probably unclear, but Marvel was never just going to make a couple iron man movies and call it done.
Say, "The future is now thanks to Internet Memes!"
Please do the original "the mummy" movies!!!
Did this channel ever make one for an old black-and-white movie?
Ukaran they did one for *gasp * Citizen Kane
This movie was so rushed they forgot to post the trailer without sound effects 😩😂😂😂😂😂😂
What a dumbasses !!!! lazy editing and horrible movie !
Only just saw your comment 🙊
Red letter media got some much mileage out of that.
I miss Brendan Fraser!
Just wagch the new superhero tv series doom patrol :D
For people who want an uncharted movie, just watch the 90's mummy with Brendan Fraser. He pretty much plays Nathan drake jn that movie
And it also features an actually strong female protagonist as well. Rachel Weisz actually is really solid and one of the most underrated female badasses in any movie.
Yes but does Uncharted involve any mummies or curses?
Please do IT (1990) Before you make the new one
Wish I want it to see that.
Please say: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
Lol, or say, "Define the word: Is."
Yes, Slick Willy asked a Senate Panel to define the word "Is" during that farce of a trial.
They can still have a Dark Universe if they just use Hugh Jackman's Van Helsing and go off from there.
Tbh they shouldve done 1999th version.
But that one didn't need to be honest-ed...is that a verb?
Screen Junkies Back when movies advertised themselves for what they were? Of course it needs to be honested.
I think the correct term is honestified
No film is without... honesting. I guess.
Screen Junkies but y'all should do the whole Brendan trilogy! You could talk about how the 1st one was amazing, the 2nd one was pretty good too, and then talk about how we all pretend the 3rd one didn't happen 😂😂😂
This is why I love Honest Trailers, they are so savage.
I live for this series.
Back in the good old times people were actually talking about the movies in here, now %90 of comments "say this - do that - say this - do that"... enough already
I noticed you didn't bother talking about the movie either.
Do Electra or the defenders Netflix show
Elektra has been done a long time ago.
CidGuerreiro1234 no they only daredevil not solo movie Electra
They hardly ever do Netflix shows. Because Netflix is overprotective about "fair use" and they don't get released on DVD/Blue Ray.
Just googled it. Tom Cruise is two years older than Russel Crowe
Can a remake of IT be considered original?
The7reddi I think you just answered that yourself in the question
Kinda since the original IT was pretty different from the book and the "remake" is much more accurate. I mean, besides the basic premise, it isn't all that similar, and the remake is a far superior movie. The original is just average, while the 2017 IT is one of the best horror movies in recent years and is one of the best Stephen King adaptations of all time.
It's a matter of perspective, really.
Do Dunkirk!
Too soon. It's still in theaters.
It might come out in a couple of weeks now

Really? That sucks. Thanks for letting me know.
Meu Cachorro ... How did you escape?
I've always seen these honest trailer movies while scrolling through trending but this is the first time I've watched one. And honestly where have I been these are amazing
I have never been able to stay awake past 20 minutes of this movie.
Can they make the new monster movies to be horror movies or let's Guillermo Del Toro take over them.
They want PG13 horror movies so they make sure that it's as vanilla as possible to attract soccer moms and their kids from the burbs.
GigawingsVideo This is why I love Spanish Horror films like The Orphanage,they hold nothing back and show all the blood and death.
Same with JHorror.
I really REALLY hope It's unexpected success convince the idiots at Universal that horror movies are profitable in order for them to start doing actual horror movies with their monsters, and not laughably bad action movies trying to make the Avengers monster version.
El Ochentero For these types of movies they need the right director and cast. Classic monster movies are beloved for how they make even terrifying characters sympathetic in a way,which is one of the many things that the Mummy reboot failed to do. If I was Sony,I found get new directors and replace them with Guillermo Del Toro,J.A. Bayona,James Wan and John Logan. They have proven themselves to be great horror movie directors and would most likely make the movie have some decent scares. Also some of them have proven that they can make sympathetic monsters.
I agree, but although the originals made the character sympathetic some of the remakes manage to do it so too, like Imhopet in the Brendan Fraiser movie, or Dracula in Coppola's and Robert De Niro's Frankenstein Monster. Is not impossible, but indeed those directors could make it work.
Now I gotta find that no sound trailer!!! 😆
I was super bummed by this movie I couldn't believe they put zombies into it seriously I love the Brendon Frasier movies that Where taken from a Anne Rice book this lacks all of it though and just turned into a mess.
Which Anne Rice book were the Brendon Frasier Mummy movies taken from?
They should have found a way to bring Fraser's character into the future. It been a fairly easy thing to do, would helped set up the film series
Taken from an Anne Rice book? Are you actually trolling? Seriously those movies taken from Anne Rice...okay, I'm sure that's news to her as well! The only A Rice connection here is Tom Cruise who played Lestat in Interview with a Vampire.
Adi B Anne Rice wrote a novel called The Mummy but it has nothing to do with the Brendan Frasier movies, but does have a female mummy in it, and there all similarities end.
@Tina. I agree with you. The Mummy starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz is my favorite movie of all time. Even though I haven't seen this new one I'm not much of a fan of Tom Cruise first of all and I highly doubt that it follows the original movie very much.
"And has the power to suck you dry" omg you killed me
Do IT (2017) or the miniseries(1990)

Do the original IT. the reason why so many people doesn't like clowns
FUCK YES!!!!
verillo14 That's not true. Stephen King wrote It BECAUSE he noticed how terrified of clowns people are.
Hallucius Bridge Certainly didn't do much to change the perception though.
Kyle Collins I guess the movie kind of legitimate the fear of clown. It must have help some.
I'm just curious. No judgement. But what do people, who are aren't just scared but have an a phobia, find particularly scary about clowns? Is it the make up? Or is 'normal' circus clown make up okay? Or just the ones made to be scary?
Say "we're not going to do purple rain so stop asking" also, do purple rain
Wes Baier if they do PR, they gotta do Michael Jackson's awful movie "Moonwalker".
William Holmes I've basically been asking them to do Pr for the last two years every other trailer. They could fill a screen with my requests for it. The movie is an easy lay up for an honest trailer.
Wes Baier most 80s movies are too be honest with ya, but I think PR deserves one the most. Did they do one for Grease at all?
William Holmes I don't believe they did, by that'd be gold just as much PR
can you do the brendan fraiser mummy please

One of the better roasts in awhile :)
4:05 you nailed it
Starring Tom Cruise as Bland Helsing.
1:11 very clever
I would have liked to see what Idris Elba could have brought to the movie as the main lead. Plus, since Idris Elba is much taller and larger, it makes more of an impact visually when you see this large tower of a human being worried and threatened like everyone else.
Gabriel Crosley Idris Elba, tower of a human...dark tower
Well he was already saving the world and be a badass in another dimension give the guy a break 😅
