Adventure is on the horizon with Brendan Fraser, who has confirmed that filming for the new “The Mummy” is set to begin tomorrow. Fraser, who recently garnered attention for his physical transformation, is back on set to reprise his iconic role as American adventurer Rick O’Connell.

This special re-release will feature a new 4K remaster, offering audiences stunning visual quality. Tickets will go on sale on September 9th, and there will also be a limited edition anniversary art print available for collectors.
Meanwhile, the world of gaming and live-action is blending into something truly unique with the adaptation of Hideo Kojima’s “Death Stranding.” The live-action film adaptation is rapidly approaching production, with director Michael Sarnoski confirming that the project has officially entered pre-production. Location scouting is scheduled to kick off in about a month, setting the stage for an ambitious visual journey.
The groundwork for this ambitious project is already laid, with the development process revealing a distinct vision.
