Stephen Sommers feels insulted by The Mummy reboot
When asked if he was consulted for his 2017 action-adventure title – The Mummy, the filmmaker said, “No. Actually, I was kind of consulted because the writer and director of that Tom Cruise ( Alex Kurtzman) No one ever contacted me. If I’m going to take over someone’s thing I contact people. The third one, which Rob (Cohen) directed, is kind of my baby. I didn’t want to step on his toes, so I had nothing to do with Tom Cruise. I was doing other things. And it’s not like I was sitting and crying. I just think it’s common courtesy.”
