<blockquote>Quote:<hr>Vosloo Unveils Mummy Ride

Arnold Vosloo, who played the title villain in the Mummy films, told SCI FI Wire that it was "weird" providing his deep voice to the new Universal Studios Hollywood thrill ride Revenge of the Mummy. "They came to me and said they wanted to use my voice for the Egyptian stuff, because I've got a scary voice," Vosloo said in an interview at the ride's preview. "And I said, 'All right. Let's do it.' So they just used the voice and mixed and matched it and made it scary whenever they needed to."

Vosloo, who spoke at the opening of Revenge of the Mummy, added that he was happy to return to the character, which first brought him widespread recognition. "I love [Mummy writer/director] Stephen Sommers," he said. "The creator of The Mummy sort of put me on the map by giving me the part, so I've got to see it all the way through and do as much with him as I can." Sommers helped design the ride.

Vosloo said that the new Hollywood attraction differs from a similar one installed at the Universal theme park in Orlando, Fla., which opened two months earlier. "They are both different," Vosloo said. "This one is shorter, but scarier, and the other one is a little bit longer, but not as scary as this one." The Universal Studios theme parks are owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.<hr></blockquote>

Even waiting in line is part of the fun and fear of what lay ahead, with the chilling Imhotep (once again voiced by Arnold Vosloo from The Mummy movies) returning. Frightening yet visually extraordinary, even experts of rollercoasters will see something dazzlingly unique. After previewing the ride, a few days shy of its world premiere, John Murdy, Creative Director of the ride, discussed what it is that makes a memorable ride, and why The Mummy?

How do you deal with the phenomenon of rides as movie sequels?

A lot of people have asked us why we chose The Mummy. This ride has actually been in development for over 10 years. When I say that, what I mean is the idea of combining what we call a dark ride, a slow moving ride through a building, with a roller coaster. We just didn't know what property we were going to use. When the first Mummy film in 1999 came out, it set off a light bulb and everybody went, "This is the perfect property to use this ride system on." To answer your question, they're kind of an extension of the movie experience. People go to the movies and a movie like The Mummy is almost a ride in itself in terms of its pacing and the action in the movie. Being a movie studio, where 99.9% of everything we do is drawn from movies and television shows, we are in a unique position where we get to collaborate with filmmakers. So to them, it's a big deal but they want to extend their story of the movie into a ride experience so that you can keep on reliving it on and on and on.

What will people who have not seen the Mummy movies get out of the ride?

Well, I think that's the purpose of creating a themed queue line and a pre-show experience. No matter whether you didn't see any of the Mummy movies, we're going to put the key things in your head before you ever get on the ride. Those would be scarab beetles. Everybody came away from the movie going, "Oh, the scarab beetles were cool." So we're going to make sure that you know what those are. We're going to make sure you know who Imhotep is, the mummy, the skeleton warriors, the idea of tying the mummy's curse into the Egyptian plagues, the time of darkness, the solar eclipse, the plague of locusts, the water turning into blood. All of those things that are on the movie that are also in the ride, we revisit in the pre-show experience before we ever get on the ride, so it's all in your head.

What were the biggest challenges of making this particular ride?

Combining the two technologies which has never really been done before. Combining the idea of a dark ride with a roller coaster. People have been doing roller coasters for years, people have been doing dark rides for years. No one's ever tried to tie the two together to the level of feeling and detail that we have. Making the roller coaster and the ride work together is technically a huge challenge in terms of timing, in terms of making sure that everybody's seeing things when you want them to see it. But the roller coaster is still gravity. Once you take off, in terms of triggering lights and audio and effects, it's gravity so it depends on the weight of the vehicle. Was there anything you couldn't do because of the interior space available?

Nothing that immediately pops to mind. You're building a ride into an existing facility so that dictates what you can do with the ride.

What was there before?

It was the E.T. attraction. We still have it in Universal Studios Florida, we still have it in Universal Studios Japan, and so it still lives on in our other parks. We just felt like it was time to put something new into this park.

How does a filmmaker like Stephen Sommers work with you?

The thing that surprises me about movie directors when we bring them into what we do in the themed entertainment or theme park industry is the level of youthful enthusiasm for what we do. The first time I ever met Stephen Sommers, I met him at a party and he had just done The Mummy, and the first words out of his mouth when we started talking was, "When are we going to do a ride based on The Mummy?" And I've found this time and time again with people like Steven Spielberg, Stephen Sommers, Ron Howard, different directors we've worked with, they'll say things like, "Now I can tell my parents I've made it in Hollywood because I have a ride based on my movie." It sounds hysterically funny to us because you think about the success that Stephen Sommers has had with those Mummy movies, and you think with all that success, doing a ride might not be a big deal to him, but it's exactly the opposite. They love it. They're like kids in the candy store. In 1999, we were right out of the gate even before the movie came out, we were reading the script, and we were talking to the filmmakers. So we've been working with Stephen Sommers, his producing partner Bob Ducsay, his art director Alan Cameron, his composer Alan Silvestri, Arnold Vosloo, all of these people. They're kind of like a family. Stephen Sommers likes to use the same people over and over again. It's just been a really in-depth long collaboration where his art director's looking over our drawings going, "No, you ought to have this column tilted more to the left." It's been like that every step of the way. They've been involved in the project. What's the decision to replace a youth oriented ride like E.T. with something more for adults?

Obviously, you want to try really hard not to exclude people from being able to ride a ride. It's designed to be a smooth coaster. We don't want to create a coaster that can only appeal to a 12 to 18-year-old. We want to create a ride experience that's for the entire family, to kids that are 48" tall which is like six, seven, eight years old, up to, the other day, I had a 75-year-old grandmother on the ride. We want to make sure that they all can ride it. When we put in something new like this, we want to make sure that we're still offering enough attractions for the very, very small kids who maybe can't ride the ride. So things we're doing in the future, there are things geared specifically to that.

Why did it take so long to build a roller coaster at Universal Hollywood?

We've looked at it in the past. We always looked at it being an outdoor roller coaster in the old days, and in this particular park, you just can't do that. You've got a movie studio all around you. They're filming constantly and the thing about roller coasters, the thing that travels the furthest sound-wise is screams. So when you get a roller coaster with a really high drop and screams, it goes everywhere. So in this property where there are soundstages all around us, doing an outside roller coaster was never feasible.

How did you soundproof the Mummy ride?

We did endless amounts of tests on reverberation. The columns of the roller coaster are all filled with sand to soak up the reverberation of the track. That's one of the reasons it feels so smooth. The screams of the guests are all contained within the building but the building's all extremely sound proof.

Did you beef up the space when you tore out E.T.?

We moved a lot of stuff around .We moved a lot of columns around. Trying to fit a roller coaster track inside that building is a definite challenge.

What happens to the E.T. stuff?

It's all packed away in storage and we're looking into ways to use it in the future.

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>Sommers may direct Mummy 3 after all
Posted on Fri, 30-Jul-2004

This is hilarious. Leading up to the release of his ambitious special effects blockbuster “Van Helsing”, earlier in the year, Director Stephen Sommers let it be known that he was essentially ‘beyond’ doing another “Mummy” movie. Instead, he was looking forward to doing more in the “Helsing” world, in particular, a heavily-publicised TV series, that never happened.

Now, according to Coming Soon, Sommers seems might be enticed to swallow his pride and return to the Brendan Fraser starring series that he made his name on. Universal reportedly want him to get going on a “Mummy 3” as soon as possible, and until they’ve got their sequel, it sounds like they’re not going to let him anywhere near the “Flash Gordon” remake he wants to do – not surprising after the millions the troupe lost on “Van Helsing” - also set-up at the studio.<hr></blockquote>

mi pequeño vicio</p>

Sobre los efectos CGI de La Momia 2, en principio todos los hizo ILM, al menos hasta donde he podido indagar con el DVD.
El problema de falta de calidad en algunos de ellos pudo ser que, tal y como confiesa Stephen Sommers en el audiocomentario, el montaje definitivo de la película no estuvo acabado hasta ¡4 días antes de su estreno en USA! <img src=https://www.mundodvd.com/forum/emoticons/laleche.gif ALT=":laleche">
O sea, que estuvieron con el agua al cuello para que poder terminar la postproducción en fechas. Eso podría explicar que algunos efectos especiales no dieran la talla.



======================================
"Tengo datos precisos" - Terminator 2: El juicio final (1991)

Pues los de Godzilla no estuvieron listos hasta poquitos días antes de su estreno también, por eso la mayoría de los planos en los que sale está lloviendo y es de noche.

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>Sommers steps down as director of Mummy 3
Posted on Mon, 1-Nov-2004

Contrary to recent rumours, Stephen Sommers will not be directing "The Mummy 3".

I could easily end the news item there, but there's more : it's still happening. (Karloff purists smash tomato puree against their monitors).

Universal and Sommers are planning a third chapter in the Brendan Fraser-starring series, but Sommers is said to be on the lookout for a surrogate - he'll only produce the next chapter.

Brendan Fraser isn't a sure thing either. He's dubious about doing a third chapter. And with hits like "Monkeybone" and "Looney Tunes : Back in Action", you can't blame him from wondering whether there's a shinier gem in the offers pile. (choke). I say cast lookalike Chris Showerman - the guy who replaced Brendo in "George of the Jungle 2" - and be done wih it then.

In addition to "Mummy 3", Sommers is also involved in "Flash Gordon" (still think Ashton Kucther is the new Sam Jones? you could be right). He's decided to only produce that too.

¿Soy el unico que cree que podrían coger a los personajes y meterlos en otra aventura y dejarse de momias? Asi´ganaría esta saga podriá ser el Indiana Jones del siglo XXI

</p>

No. Yo siempre he defendido desde el principio que estas peliculas deberian haberse titulado como:

O'Donell(creo que se llama asi) contra la Momia
y
O'Donell contra el Rey Escorpion

porque las peliculas no tratan de la Momia, sino de los aventureros.

"Cualquier pelicula, o rumor sobre esta, o imagen, o secuencia, o trailer susceptible de comentarse en un post ; es, a priori MALA, mientras no se demuestre lo contrario de forma absolutamente contundente. Siendo esta demostracion, a su vez, susceptible de catalogarse como MALA, y por extension, pues, la pelicula a la que se supedita.

bueno pues parece ser que sommers está con el guión de la tercera pero que sabiendo Universal como ha subido el caché de weitz y fraser,lo mas seguro que se haga sin ellos.

Los rumores apuntan a que la historia se basa en la momia en la actualidad <img src=https://www.mundodvd.com/forum/emoticons/freak.gif ALT=":freak">

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>Universal digging up The Mummy again?
Posted on Fri, 29-Apr-2005

A while back rumours surfaced that Diector Stephen Sommers might be unearthing the "Mummy" franchise again - without original star Brendan Fraser.

Now, according to JoBlo.com, "The Mummy 3" is closer to being a reality, with a storyline already scrawled.

"Stephen Sommers has completed a script for a third MUMMY sequel and is looking to start shooting at the end of this year and early 2006. There's no word yet as to whether Brendan Fraser or Rachel Weisz will be back for this sequel but if Universal knows what's good for them, they willl be. This is good or bad news depending on your feeling on the MUMMY franchise but it may just be happening so get used to it, kids", says the site.

The last rumoured plot for a third film involved King Imhotep/The Mummy waking up in contemporary times.<hr></blockquote>

Yo tambien apoyo una tercera parte. Pero tambien sigo opinando que lo suyo es separar al heroe del personaje de la Momia, para enfrascarlo en nuevas aventuras.

Personalmente encuentro que esta bien como esta.

Por cierto la momia me gusto mas como matrix en cuanto a divertimento, como efectos matrix es superior porque los efectos tanto de la momia 1 como la dos <img src=https://www.mundodvd.com/forum/emoticons/pota.gif ALT=":pota">

<div style="text-align:center"></div></p>

Bueno fraser ha dejado caer que existe un primer guión de la tercera parte aunque nada oficial

No me extraña nada viendo que a Sommers no le salió bien la cosa de Van Helsing (pensaba hacer una saga de esta, pero con los resultados que obtuvo...). Bienvenida sea esta tercera parte de La Momia

Habrá tercera parte.

Brendan Fraser ha firmado ya su presencia y puede que esta vez dirija Joe Johnston.
Comenzará a rodarse el año que viene.

Quizá sea buena noticia. Sabré si definitivamente lo es cuando la vea, vamos.

Pues las otras dos me parecieron pelis de aventuras muy simpáticas y entretenidas. Además salía Rachel Weisz :amor . Por mí, si hacen una tercera parte, perfecto.

Vale, pero es que en lugar de las fotos de su fierma me aparecen los cuadros de photobucket más grandes y me descuadran la pantalla.

¿Que hago doctor?

me pasa lo mismo que a Nanahara
