Warner Bros. Pictures’ animated adventure feature film “Mummies”, from the Spanish director Juan Jesús García Galocha, stars the voices of Joe Thomas (“The Inbetweeners”, “White Gold”), Eleanor Tomlinson (“The nevers”, “Jack the Giant Slayer”, “The illusionist”), Santiago Winder (“The Hope Rooms), Celia Imrie (“The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel”, “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again”), and Dan Starkey (“Doctor Who”), Hugh Bonneville (“Paddington”, “Downtown Abbey”, “Notting Hill) and Sean Bean (“Game of Thrones”, “The martian” “The Lord of the Rings”).
In Egypt, in the bowels of the earth, there is a 3000-year-old city of mummies. By imperial mandate, Princess Nefer has to marry Thut, but neither wants to do so: Nefer craves freedom and Thut is allergic to commitment. But the gods’ wishes are inescapable, and Thut will have to marry Nefer in just seven days, bringing to the wedding the ancient ring that the Pharaoh has given him.
Meanwhile, on the surface of the earth, Lord Silvester Carnaby carries out an archaeological expedition in which, for the first time, he finds something relevant: an Egyptian tomb where in addition to several trophies, he finds a wedding ring. It is his opportunity to go down in history, and make his dream come true, but he does not count on the fact that this ring already has an owner…
When Thut discovers his ring has been stolen, he has no choice but to climb into the human world and infiltrate present-day London. He is accompanied by his younger brother Sekhem, an eight-year-old boy wanting to recover Thut’s racing hero status; and Croc, a baby crocodile and Sekhem’s pet; as well as Nefer, who takes the opportunity to flee the marriage and pursue her dreams. Together, the three mummies will have to navigate modern-day London, recover the ring that Lord Silvester Carnaby has stolen and, something that was not in Thut and Nefer’s plans, learn to like each other.
The film will be released internationally in 2023.
