Kate Beckinsale: Len Wiseman to Direct 'Mummy' Reboot!

Kate Beckinsale leaves Salon Benjamin with a friend on Wednesday (October 3) in West Hollywood, Calif.

The 39-year-old actress’ husband Len Wiseman is set to direct a reboot of The Mummy franchise!

“When I first heard Universal was relaunching this, that is the image that popped into my head, the period tale, the old monster, but when Bob [Orci] and Alex [Kurtzman] pitched it, there was a great new take and approach, and a very different mummy as well,” Len told Deadline of the film’s modern-day approach. “It’s a darker twist on the material, a scarier version.”

We hope there is a part for Kate in the film!
