Some scenes and still pictures from The Mummy: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

IESB.net has published seven scenes of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. You will also find thirty four still pictures from the movie. My net is very slow which is why I could not see any of the video clips. I also found an Olympic promotion trailer of the movie posted in Can Mag.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is the third installment in The Mummy series. This time, the adventure hungry O’Connells find themselves fighting the resurrected Han emperor and his deadly soldiers. Alex (Luke Ford), Rick O’Connell and Evelyn’s son, is all grown up now and became an archaeologist and adventurer like his mother and father. Alex goes to China and tricked into resurrecting a Han emperor who was double crossed by a sorcerer and cursed for eternity. Eventually, Rick (Brendan Fraser) and Eve (Maria Bello) joins him and stops the emperor from taking over the world.

China government has blocked the release of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

The Mummy: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is facing problems in China. China’s State Administration for Radio, Film and Television is not ready to give permission to release the film. However, a spokesman from the Universal Studio said that the studio is not expecting any problems to clear the movie for China and looks forward to the release of the movie where it was shot.

According to news reports, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor deals with a dead Han emperor and his resurrected terra cotta army. Ghosts are considered to be taboos in Chinese culture. Variety reports:

Bill Kong, whose Edko Film is Universal's distributor in Hong Kong and China, acknowledged the issues.

"It is too early for me to comment on this until the situation becomes clearer," he said.

Kong, who is Asia's leading producer and has political and industry connections in China, had previously submitted script drafts to China Film Co-production Corp.

The production cost of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is a staggering $145 million, which makes it one of biggest franchises in the Hollywood cinema. The movie was jointly produced by Universal Pictures and Chinese government. The movie has been made following all the regulation of China Film Co-production Corp.

Movie stills of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor has been released

Still pictures of the upcoming Mummy sequel, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, have been released. You can see them in Horroryearbook.com. You can also find them in the official blog of the movie. They are pretty cool and they will definitely increase your curiosity for the movie. Looking at them, you will easily understand the main essence of the movie has remained intact. The previous two Mummys are action adventures and this new one also has lots of actions and lots of adventures. Both Brendan Fraser and Jet Li look awesome. I love the picture where Jet Li, who is playing the resurrected Han emperor, is riding the horse wearing the black armor and battle gears. Brendan Fraser also changed his style especially, the weapons. In the first two movies, we see him slinging pistols and shotgun. This time he is using a machine gun but I think the shot gun goes better with his image.

This time Alex (Luke Ford), the ten year old son of Rick O’Connell, is all grown up and stands beside his father and fights with the Han Emperor (Jet Li). Like the previous two, this time the adventure takes you to the remote Himalayas and ancient China.
