Jack Reynor: 'Love that 'Lee Cronin's The Mummy' has graphic horror while also being incredibly funny' Filmmaker Lee Cronin is set to deliver a chilling and unconventional take on the classic mummy mythos with Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, a film that promises to blend graphic horror with dark humor. Actor Jack Reynor, who stars in the project, has expressed his enthusiasm for the film’s bold approach, highlighting both his personal connection to the project and its creative risks. The movie, which is set for a theatrical release in India on April 17, 2026, features a cast including Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Natalie Grace, and Veronica Falcón. Reynor shared his thoughts on the film’s development, emphasizing the unique tone and energy of the script. “When I read the script, I was super excited for a number of reasons,” he said in a statement. He noted his admiration for Cronin’s work as an Irish filmmaker, stating, “Lee Cronin is a great Irish filmmaker whose work I’ve always had a huge amount of respect for, so I was really excited to work with him.” The actor also praised the opportunity to collaborate with his friend, Macdara Kelleher, who co-directed their first film. “Getting to do it at home in Ireland was also massive for all of us. We were very proud to be making a film like this, with this kind of scope, at this size, with such a great creative team behind us.” The film’s premise centers on a young daughter of a journalist who vanishes into the desert without a trace, only to return eight years later. What should be a joyful reunion quickly devolves into a nightmare for the fractured family. Reynor described the script as “so bonkers and tonally broad,” adding that it felt like “a wild time.#lee_cronin #jack_reynor #macdara_kelleher #laia_costa #may_calamawy
