Lee Cronin’s The Mummy Lands R Rating Ahead of April 17 Release

The rating signals a graphic, standalone horror take unrelated to Universal’s Mummy series.

Overview

The Motion Picture Association rated the film R for "strong disturbing violent content, gore, language and brief drug use."
Warner Bros.’ New Line will release the movie in theaters on April 17.
The story follows a journalist whose young daughter returns eight years after vanishing, turning a reunion into a nightmare.
Those involved say the project is not connected to Universal’s franchise despite sharing the title and the producer’s monster pedigree.
From Blumhouse-Atomic Monster and New Line, the film is produced by James Wan, Jason Blum and John Keville, stars Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Natalie Grace and Verónica Falcón, and director Lee Cronin frames the tone as part Poltergeist and part Se7en.
