There’s still a couple of months until the latest iteration of The Mummy starring Tom Cruise arrives in cinemas, but Universal have released a new trailer that has a very familiar soundtrack (particularly to those who have enjoyed Westworld).

Thought safely entombed in a tomb deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient princess (Sofia Boutella of Kingsman: The Secret Service and Star Trek Beyond) whose destiny was unjustly taken from her is awakened in our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension. From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters.

Cruise is joined by Peaky Blinders’ Annabelle Wallis,  Jake Johnson, Courtney B. Vance and Oscar winner Russell Crowe. Alex Kurtzman is directing from a script by Jon Spaihts and Christopher McQuarrie.  The movie opens on June 9th.
