Russell Crowe lirar den mycket ettrige dunderdoktorn Jekyll (och Hyde, när han blir förbannad - såklart) i den kommande re-booten av Mumien som dundrar upp på bio redan om tre veckor (ungefär). Syfy har satt ihop en liten minidokumentär som närmare presenterar karaktären och visar upp några nya sekvenser från den mycket, mycket, mycket påkostade actionrullen. Länk till klippet här.
Regissören Alex Kurtzman pratade nyligen lie med Slashfilm om Jekyll som karaktär och hans roll i det kommande Monster-universumet:
"In looking to figure out how to place The Mummy in a larger context and setting up this organization that has actually been dealing with monsters for longer than any of us have been around, it became clear that we needed somebody to be the voice of that organization. The next thought was like, "Well, it could be Joe Mcgillicuddy, or we could actually go into another character that makes sense organically." It was a real point of conversation with Tom. If we're going to bring in Henry Jekyll, how is bringing Henry Jekyll into the mummy story not a detractor from the mummy story? How does Henry Jekyll become part of this story in an organic way? And part of what Tom's character, Nick, learns about the mummy and about the history of the mummy comes through Jekyll's very deep understanding of monsters and how monsters have existing quietly in this world for eons."
Vad tror du om Mummy, kan det bli bättre än den fåniga Brandan Fraser-komedin?
