Tom Cruise’s ‘The Mummy’ Goes from Box Office Bomb to Streaming Sensation
Before the release of The Mummy, having Cruise, Russell Crowe, and Sofia Boutella in a remake of a classic film that catapulted Brendan Frasier’s career had the promise of a blockbuster success. As is customary with Cruise, he would be performing his own stunts for director Alex Kurtzman, who is primarily recognized for his work as a producer on Star Trek and Alias. The script was penned by some highly regarded writers, including frequent collaborator of Cruise, Christopher McQuarrie (the last four Mission: Impossible films, including The Final Reckoning) and David Koepp (Jurassic Park).
