The cameras are rolling and the
production of the third installment of
the Mummy saga has begun. Cast as
extras, you enter the film set of
“Revenge of the Mummy” and without
hesitation, you are informed about the
strange happenings around the set.
Advised to wear a “Med-Jai” symbol to
protect you from any stray curse around,
you find yourself inside a dark and
ominous Egyptian temple. Things go awry
and suddenly you find yourself in the
middle of the wrath of Imhotep and his
minions in the world’s first
psychological thrill ride. |
