"I think with all the technology today, kids wouldn't buy [a mummy wrapped in bandages]. That's sort of one of the things about the first Mummy movies that always amazed me. Looking back on them now, why were people scared of the mummy? Surely, you could just run away from this guy that's walking around the neighborhood in pajamas and bandages. It'd be easy just to run away from him, so we have to hype it up a bit and create a whole new mummy."
