Tom Cruise and the Mummy team heading to Sydney!

Universal Pictures is thrilled to announce that Sydney will be the first stop in the phenomenal global tour of THE MUMMY, the all-new cinematic blockbuster headlined by Tom Cruise.

Movie stars Tom Cruise, Russell Crowe, Sofia Boutella, Annabelle Wallis will hit the harbour city for the Australian Premiere in May with Director/Producer Alex Kurtzman.

Sydney will be the first international stop on the worldwide tour for the film that will see the impressive cast travel throughout Asia, United Kingdom, Europe, Mexico and the United States to unveil this movie event to audiences across the globe.

Fans and media will have the opportunity to see the stars in action at the Australian Premiere on Monday May 22nd at The State Theatre, Sydney.

Tom Cruise headlines a spectacular, all-new cinematic version of the legend that has fascinated cultures all over the world since the dawn of civilization: The Mummy.

Thought safely entombed in a crypt deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient princess (Sofia Boutella of Kingsman: The Secret Service and Star Trek Beyond) whose destiny was unjustly taken from her is awakened in our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension.

From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters.

Cruise is joined by a cast including Annabelle Wallis (upcoming King Arthur, television’s Peaky Blinders), Jake Johnson (Jurassic World), Courtney B. Vance (TV’s American Crime Story: The People V. O.J. Simpson) and Oscar® winner Russell Crowe (Gladiator).

The creative team on this action-adventure event is led by director/producer Alex Kurtzman and producer Chris Morgan, who have been instrumental in growing some of the most successful franchises of the past several years—with Kurtzman writing or producing entries in theTransformers, Star Trek and Mission: Impossible series, and Morgan being the narrative engineer of the Fast & Furious saga as it has experienced explosive growth from its third chapter on.  Sean Daniel, who produced the most recent Mummy trilogy, produces alongside Kurtzman and Morgan.

THE MUMMY opens June 8, check out the brand new trailer below.
