FRASER on Freddie Boath, playing Rick and Evelyn's
eight-year-old son:
"He is a great kid and so
funny. He knew everything about The Mummy - his mother told me honestly
he must have seen it at least thirty or forty times. Kids these days! He was
quick to remind us about any nuance we may have overlooked. He gave the script
supervisor a run for her job. He really threw himself into the work by buying
into the reality of the situation. I had a wonderful time reliving my kid-dom
with Freddie."
HANNAH on dealing with green screens and effects that
aren't there:
"It was fine because
I've been at the RSC, so I've worked with a lot of actors who aren't really
there with you! Why do you think Patrick Stewart is so good? He spent years at
the RSC. After that, green screens are a breeze."
HANNAH on the movie's
bus chase sequence:
"I learned to drive
the bus, that was excellent. There's a scene on Tower Bridge where the car is
coming toward me with the stunt guy, and I was supposed to go one way and they
would go the other. I thought, 'I don't care, I'm in a bus - I'm not getting
hurt!"
 VOSLOO on his fight with Brendan Fraser
"I would rehearse with the
stunt guys with a fairly light stick, and we'd get on the set and they'd hand
me the real weapon, and I swear to God it must have weighed 50 pounds. So
whereas before I would do all this stuff really fast, suddenly now it was like
molasses. Brendon is a big guy and he's very strong, and because my wardrobe is
non-existent I couldn't wear elbow or knee pads, so I was always battered and
bruised."
STEPHEN SOMMERS:
"None of the actors
nor myself wanted to do a sequel unless it was going to be better. These movies
take so much out of Brendan and Rachel. Brendan will tell you that by the time
he finished this movie, I'd blown out his knee, broke one of his ribs and threw
a disk out in his back. He could barely walk off the stage by the last couple
of days."
WEISZ
"It's a period film
with a really good mixture of horror, visual effects, comedy and romance. All
these different genres came together brilliantly."
