"<i>The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor</i>", or simply "<i>Mummy 3</i>" for the perpetually lazy, director <i>Rob Cohen</i> has announced, on his official Blog no less, that he is currently tied up in heavy post–production for this big–budget sequel. "I have shown the film to the exec's at Universal and they are through–the–roof ecstatic. We screened a few weeks ago for all the relevant department heads and the reaction was unanimous. It's running around 1 hr. 53 minutes and, daily as we hone, it's taking its final shape. The studio has been very collaborative and supportive. You know they love it when they ask you if you need any more money to enhance the visual effects budget!!! Are there more shots that I want to do but didn't have the money to do?!!! Of course, the answer is yes; there is never enough to entertain the audience in any film. That kind of support from Chairmen Marc Shmuger and David Linde, President Donna Langley, and V.P.'s Jeff Kirschenbaum and Erik Baiers is rare in Hollywood so I am very pleased all the way around" said Cohen. It certainly seems like someone was angling for an Easter Egg this year! Cohen's excitable rant here name drops those that are stumping up the cash to realise this third outing for <i>Brendan Fraser's</i> Indiana Jones–lite adventurer. Replacing <i>Rachel Weisz</i> in this one is <i>Maria Bello</i> and <i>Jet Li</i> will be donning the robes of the titular Dragon Emperor.
