In the offing: Directed by Alex Kurtzman, the film is a reboot of the The Mummy trilogy starring Brendan Fraser and will be released on June 9 in both America and Britain Plugging: The director's told /Film : 'I think that our goal is to make a movie that’s full of suspense, full of adventure, that has moments of horror but that isn’t defined as "a horror movie," and that will ultimately scare the s*** out of you' Star turn: To hear him tell it. 'This goes back to the requirement, I think, of having an unpredictable Tom Cruise in the movie' Supernatural foes: Said he: 'Because if you remove from the audience’s mind: "Oh I know he’s going to save the day," and in fact go: "He really might not, he has no idea what to do here," now I’m in a situation where I’m kind of scared FOR him because I don’t know what he’s going to do and I don’t know what’s coming' 'I've known Tom Cruise since 1992, or something like that': Russell's joked that he and Tom were friends during the latter's marriage to Russell's fellow Australian Nicole Kidman, but that 'when he got divorced, I was part of the settlement package, and I went to Nicole' The director's told /Film: 'I think that our goal is to make a movie that’s full of suspense, full of adventure, that has moments of horror but that isn’t defined as "a horror movie," and that will ultimately scare the s*** out of you.'
