Special Effects
Reportedly $15 million of the $80 million budget was spent on special effects. Producers didn’t want The Mummy to look like the original so they developed a new look before filming even started. John Andrew Berton, Jr., the Industrial Light & Magic’s Visual Effects Supervisor, said “[The Mummy was] to be mean, tough, nasty, something that had never been seen by audiences before”. Berton used motion capture in order to achieve “a menacing and very realistic Mummy”.
