Fresh off last year’s Evil Dead Rise, it was announced earlier this year that director Lee Cronin will next be directing an untitled horror movie for Blumhouse and James Wan’s Atomic Monster. Today, Cronin took to Instagram to reveal that feature is Lee Cronin’s The Mummy!
“This will be unlike any Mummy movie you ever laid eyeballs on before. I’m digging deep into the earth to raise something very ancient and very frightening,” said writer/director Lee Cronin.
Cronin is writing and directing the film, produced by Atomic Monster, Blumhouse and Doppelgängers, for New Line. New Line Cinema will be releasing this one in theaters April 17, 2026.
“Collaborating with Jason, James and the wonderful teams from these two storied and massively successful organizations is what perfect nightmares are made of,” said Cronin previously. “Getting to return to New Line Cinema and my wonderful partners over there is the cherry on top.”
Jason Blum said, “[Cronin] has an intriguing, modern take on something quite ancient that I think audiences will love,” while James Wan called the Evil Dead Rise director “a gifted filmmaker in the world of horror whose storytelling has electrified audiences.”
As previously announced, Atomic Monster and Blumhouse are co-financing the film. James Wan, Jason Blum and John Keville are producers on the film. Michael Clear, Judson Scott and Macdara Kelleher are executive producers. Alayna Glasthal is the executive overseeing the project for Atomic Monster.
This is the first project under the new Blumhouse-Atomic Monster merger.
