This seems like a dark prophecy come true, indeed.
The Mummy reviews were embargoed until Wednesday morning, but long before critics drew their knives, the signs were there: three screenwriters and three separate "story-by" credits, the premature/forced an**uncement that it would lead off Universal Studios' shared "Dark Universe" films, and a newbie director whose writing credits include
Cowboys & Aliens,
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,
Star Trek Into Darkness and
The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

The Mummy, which was hovering around 25% on
Rotten Tomatoes as of this writing.
