Disney is remaking the very first of its own Disney Channel movies, the Mummy based tale Under Wraps.

The original 1997 film’s core idea of a group of 12 year olds reviving a Mummy has been retained.

“The story unfolds when Marshall, Gilbert and Amy happen upon and awaken a mummy, which they affectionately name Harold, and must rush to return him to his resting place before midnight on Halloween,” says the official logline. “Along the way, the team narrowly escapes a nefarious group of criminals who is intent on selling the mummy to the highest bidder. When Harold is inevitably captured, Marshall, Gilbert and Amy must band together to stand up to the criminals, face their fears and rescue their new — but rather ‘ancient’ — friend.”
