PanARMENIAN.Net - The first full trailer for "The Mummy" remake is finally here, featuring Sofia Boutella as the titular mummified princess named Ahmanet. The tense trailer opens with an expedition led by Tom Cruise's Nick Morton to "the unforgiving desert" to obtain the tomb of the ancient princess, AceShowbiz said.

One scene shows a flock of crows suddenly attacking the group along with the tomb in a chopper. Following the crash, Ahmanet is awakened likely by Russell Crowe's Dr. Henry Jekyll as he says, "Please meet princess Ahmanet. She will claim what she has been denied."

The new "Mummy" movie follows an ancient princess whose destiny was unjustly taken from her. She is awakened in the current day after years of safely entombed in a crypt deep beneath the unforgiving desert. It brings with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension.

The upcoming action-horror film also stars Annabelle Wallis, Jake Johnson, Courtney B. Vance, Marwan Kenzari, Javier Botet and Dylan Smith. Directed by Alex Kurtzman from a script written by Jon Spaihts, "The Mummy" is coming to U.S. theaters on June 9, 2017.
