Oded Fehr Says He's Not in 'Mummy 3'

No Ardeth Bay? NO SALE!

It's too bad he's not involved. They probably could have made a spin-off movie featuring his character. Anyone else love this guy in Sleeper Cell?

Much as I love Brendan Fraser, I really only went to the Mummy movies to see Oded Fehr. And he's even more charismatic in person.

That's too bad, his character is the most complex of them all. He seems to know the desert way more, and will cost the producers litle money in a cameo.
He's part of an ansamble cast and will benefit the movie by being in it.

My suspition is the script takes place in the city where the mummy will go and break havoc, and I guess
Ardeth Bay's character is not required.

I will see this movie no matter who is in it. I mean, how bad can it be? A LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN bad?

I say: take the kid away, drop the English humor by John Hannah and keep the story moving and fresh, and for God's sake learn from Lucas and Steven, who'll get everyone into Raiders 4 (from Mirion, Short Round, Kate Capshaw, and the man with the monkey.)

Trivia for you movie fans: Name the only person who got killed 3 times by Indiana Jones, one in each movie.
(Sorry no prices)

It would be a big mistake not having the character of Ardeth Bay in the sequal. I to would rather see less or none of the O'Connel's son and less of Jonathan. If anyting I could see the Character, Ardeth, having no choice but to come in from the desert and into the city to help 'destroy' the mummy, help rescue the girl-again, or even have to 'rescue' Rick out of some personal situation. I love these movies! They are adventerous, and fun with out all the usual blood and guts and F---ing bad language, lol. and who doesn't like looking at these 2 awesome guys, Fraser and Fehr. It's a shame they killed off the BIG guy ( of Imotep's guard) in #2 he wasn't bad either. You get a little bit of history too. I have looked up some of the names of these pharoahs and queens and they are for real. Besides that, I can sit and watch them with my children. So COME ON people at Universal! Get with it and don't blow it!!!

The main turn off for any sequel is to either omit a main character or replace them with another actor.
I have been an avid fan of the first two movies in the series, but I won't pay to see a hollywood style watered down version. Can you say straight to the Blockbuster Video shelves?

Yes....Sleeper Cell is magnificent. And yes, I too only watched The Mummy series because of Oded. I suppose that means that I will NOT be seeing the third! And Cath.....so jealous that you have seen him in person!

Arnold Vosloo and Oded Fehr had more charisma respectively than the whole rest of the cast put together. I hope they give these two their own movies, because I don't think I'll go see this one.

I agre with every one else. I only watched the other 2 Mummy movies because of Oded. No Oded, your not getting my $10.00.

This character is a major part of the story. I love him! And the relationship between him and Fraser, as protectors, was developed in the Mummy Returns. I watch these movies over and over and it isn't Jonathan that I'm looking at.

That sucks...he was a great character in the first two. As much as I'd like to see a third film, I think they should stop with the sequel and its totally kick-ass spin-off if all the main characters aren't going to be coming back.

Can you say "SEXY" without saying Oded Fehr's name in the same sentence? I think NOT! I couldn't wait to see the Mummy & Mummy Return to see him in ACTION.

when they make a third movie,it usually isn't as good as the first and second one it looses something; especially when they leave out oded fehr.

I agree. Oded Fehr is a huge part of The Mummy Series. But, Um.... what about Arnold Vosloo ... High Priest Imhotep ????????? Isn't he, per say, The Mummy?

When you mess with the casting you mess with the whole dynamics of the storyline. In keeping with the storyline you have to keep with the usual cast. I loved him in these movies and it will be hard to watch one without him. I don't know if I can.

What the heck. Make the movie, hopefully make your Money back or more. I'll be watching the DVD.

Wow! Brendon waiting by the phone?? Oh Brendon, stop that!!!

GIO-Rats-I don't know his name but it is the guy who was a Nazi in the one movie who had the burn on his palm of the medallion. He melted when the Ark was opened. I know he played another character in the 3rd movie but I cannot remember who. Did anyone really watch the second movie when the went to see it?

I personally love the mummy movies, I think Brandon Frasier was great and funny, could do without the son though. But yes, Oded Fehr is hot and that is why my friend and I watch the movies over and over. But really, how can they make a third movie without Fehr, he is such a strong and vital character to the stories, it would be a real mistake not to put him in a sequal?!

Reply

Making this movie without Oded Fehr is a HUGE mistake. His character is the most complex and interesting of the lot. And if they mnake the film cnetered in a city, think of the "fish out of water" possibilities" with the character and having it be Rick's turn to lead Ardeth through dangerous terrain that Aedeth isn't familar with.
I agree with Renee. If you're going to leave anyone out you should leave out the character of Jonathan or ditch Rick's son. They were both basically comic relief and you really only need one of those types in a movie.

It's not worth watching if Ardeth Bay isn't part of the story. I love him!
