Universal Pictures owns the rights to many popular titles but also characters. One of its franchises includes the Universal Classic Monsters, which the studio has been producing since 1913, and a new adaptation is being made of one of its most popular characters: The Mummy.
The Mummy tells the story of a mummified ancient Egyptian priest who is accidentally resurrected. The character has seen many adaptations starting 1932's The Mummy, with Boris Karloff, as well as the modern adaptations starring Brendan Fraser between 1999 and 2008, and the failed 2017 film starring Tom Cruise. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Atomic Monster and Blumhouse are resurrecting The Mummy with the help of Evil Dead Rise filmmaker Lee Cronin.

Lunar New Year
U.K. broadcaster Channel 4‘s long-running series “Hollyoaks” is bringing in the Lunar New Year in style with a special episode, the first celebration of the festival in U.K. TV soap history. The episode features the Chen-Williams, the first British-East Asian family in a U.K. soap and the newest family in the show. Within the episode viewers get an insight into some of the traditions associated with the Lunar New Year and how the family choose to celebrate. Family matriarch Honour (played by Vera Chok) gifts her daughter a lucky red envelope and the celebrations peak with a lion dance and meal hosted at The Dog in The Pond pub. During the meal Honour points out that Lunar New Year celebrations are a time for families to eat and enjoy each other’s company, and not always about the commercialized aspect often seen in the Western world.
