On this day in 2001 (in the U.S.), audiences came back for a second round of Fantasy/Adventure for the big screen theatrical premiere of The Mummy Returns. Written and directed by Stephen Sommers, the film starred Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, and others.
According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:
"Many years ago, in Ancient Egypt, the Scorpion King led a menacing army, but when he sold his soul to Anubis, he was erased from history. Now he is only a myth...or is he? Rick and Evelyn O'Connell are still discovering new artifacts, along with their 8 year old son Alex. They discover the Bracelet of Anubis. But someone else is after the bracelet. High Priest Imhotep has been brought back from the dead once again and wants the bracelet, to control the Scorpion King's army. That's not the only problem. Imhotep now has Alex and with the bracelet attached to him, doesn't have long to live."
For the record:
- At the 2002 Saturn Awards, The Mummy Returns received nominations in the categories of 'Best Special Effects,' 'Best Make-Up,' 'Best Performance By A Younger Actor,' and 'Best Fantasy Film.'
- At the 2002 Fangoria Chainsaw Awards, the film received nominations in the categories of 'Best Supporting Actress' and 'Worst Film.'
