I just saw it for the first time (I saw it on YOUTUBE) and I actually think that it is pretty cool that Russell Crowe's "Dr. Jekyll" character is going to be a bad guy in the movie. What does everyone else think ?
I just started to read about this movie, having just seen the YouTube video, and I'm pretty excited for it. Regarding Crowe, I wonder if his character will transform into you-know-who during the fight, or even be setup for a standalone or recurring character in the other Universal monster movies. In any case, I'll be keeping an eye on this one.
Could it be that Crowe is fighting Cruise, when Cruise is under the Mummy's sway? I think that would make for a cooler scene, that Dr.J isn't doing anything villainous, and that he's trying not to kill the 'good guy' who is under mind-control from someone who doesn't care how many they kill.
