Director Alex Kurtzman is not a fan of his film The Mummy.

The Mummy director Alex Kurtzman has called the 2017 film the “biggest failure of my life, both personally and professionally”.Tom Cruise starred in the Universal franchise film, which was shunned by critics and underperformed at the box office with a $410million (£345m) global taking.“I tend to subscribe to the point of view that you learn nothing from your successes, and you learn everything from your failures,” Kurtzman recently said on The Playlist’s Bingeworthy podcast.“And The Mummy was probably the biggest failure of my life, both personally and professionally.”Kurtzman went on to say “there’s about a million things I regret” about the film, but he also said “it gave me so many gifts that are inexpressibly beautiful.“I didn’t become a director until I made that movie, and it wasn’t because it was well-directed – it was because it wasn’t.

“I was taken by all of the themes that Alex and Jenny had put into this story,” says Chiwetel Ejiofor of Showtime’s The Man Who Fell To Earth series from Jenny Lumet and Alex Kurtzman. “Themes that really are relevant today. I’m mean are right up to the minute really, in how we engage with each other in our human connections, but also our connection with our planet..”

The first film that was due to kickstart Universal’s monster cinematic universe (which was to include Javier Bardem and Johnny Depp), was The Mummy (2017) starring Tom Cruise and directed by Alex Kurtzman.

When it comes to recent Hollywood franchise failures, there’s none worse than Universal‘s short-lived Dark Universe and the film that sank it, Alex Kurtzman‘s 2017 film, “The Mummy.” And what a disaster that movie was. Critics reviled the film, audiences chose to keep going to “Wonder Woman” and the latest “Pirates Of The Caribbean” movie instead, and the film tanked at the box office.

Showtime’s reboot/sequel of Nicolas Roeg’s exquisite “The Man Who Fell to Earth” is better appreciated if one divorces it from comparisons to the original. Who could possibly imitate David Bowie’s remarkable alien quality in that film? A singer and entertainer who always seemed slightly out of this world, Bowie played a humanoid alien who crashed to Earth in an effort to bring water back to his home planet, but the plot was secondary to Roeg’s craft and Bowie’s otherness.
