Sources tell Variety that director Len Wiseman has fallen off Universal’s The Mummy reboot due to scheduling conflicts. This is awesome news.

They’re told he has been devoting increasing time to his Fox TV series “Sleepy Hollow,” which is where he should stay devoted for the rest of his career to avoid more garbage like Total Recall, Live Free or Die Hard and Underworld. I know it’s harsh, but he has no idea what “character development” is. I hate his movies.

Sean Daniels, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are producing, and should consider themselves lucky to have avoided a probable atrocity.

Jon Spaihts wrote the script and the studio still sees the film as a top priority given the popularity of the previous franchise starring Brendan Fraser.
