Director Rob Cohen recently updated his blog, telling fans it appears early screenings of The Mummy 3 are a big hit with Universal Studio execs. Good thing they have the same taste in movies I do right? In his most recent entry, on RobCohenTheMummy.com, Cohen said, ?I have shown the film to the execs at Universal and they are through-the-roof ecstatic. We screened a few weeks ago for all the relevant department heads (home video, distribution, foreign, p.r., marketing, etc.) and the reaction was unanimous.?
He went on to talk about the film?s current status and where he thinks it will finally end up, after those same unanimously happy execs offer more money for Cohen to add some cinematic goodies. ?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.? He added, ?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.?
