The first trailer for Lee Cronin's The Mummy has been released ahead of the Irish director's new horror arriving in cinemas on Friday, 17 April.
Teeing up what's ahead, studio New Line Cinema said: "The young daughter of a journalist disappears into the desert without a trace - eight years later, the broken family is shocked when she is returned to them, as what should be a joyful reunion turns into a living nightmare."
The Mummy stars Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, and Natalie Grace, with Veronica Falcón.
When the film was first announced, Dubliner Cronin said: "This will be unlike any Mummy movie you ever laid eyeballs on before. I'm digging deep into the earth to raise something very ancient and very frightening."
Cronin has teamed up with filmmakers Jason Blum and James Wan's recently combined production companies, Blumhouse and Atomic Monster, for The Mummy.
The film is part of the Evil Dead Rise director's first-look deal with the Warner Bros-owned New Line Cinema. His own production company, Doppelgängers, is also among the producers.
