Laia Costa calls Lee Cronin a ‘magician’ on The Mummy, “You can see his editing while shooting”
LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY is the story of a family in distress. Charlie Cannon (Jack Reynor) works as a news reporter in Cairo, Egypt, and lives there with his pregnant wife Larissa aka Lari (Laia Costa), daughter Katie (Emily Mitchell) and son Seb (Shylo Molina). Unknown to the family, Katie... befriends a young girl named Layla in the neighbourhood. One day, Layla’s mother (Hayat Kamille) meets Katie and kidnaps her. The police try their best to trace the missing girl, but to no avail. Eight years later, Charlie and his family have shifted to Albuquerque, New Mexico. They now live with Lari’s mother (Verónica Falcón) and their daughter Maud (Billie Roy), who was born after Katie’s disappearance. Meanwhile, in Aswan, Egypt, a small aeroplane crashes, killing both passengers on board. A sarcophagus is found in the wreckage, and when the authorities open it, they discover that a person was kept inside. Shockingly, that person turns out to be Katie. Charlie and Lari immediately fly to Cairo to bring her back. They are informed that Katie’s psychological condition is deeply disturbed due to severe trauma, though they are assured that she should recover in a few weeks or months. Charlie and Lari return to Albuquerque with Katie, but soon, strange incidents begin to take place in their remote residence. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
