The Mummy director defends the new Universal movie's "domestic setting" as he suggests the franchise's unique horrors shouldn't "be limited to tourists in Cairo"

Director Lee Cronin defends the decision to set the new Universal "The Mummy" movie in a domestic setting rather than Egypt, arguing that bringing horror closer to home can be more frightening. He states the film is a "mini epic" that will explore a wide visual spectrum, from intimate domestic scenes to grander desert and pyramid locations, aiming to offer a fresh take on the mummy genre.
