In spite of the very positive advance buzz for 'The Mummy Returns', Rachel Weisz is, once again, saying that she will not do a third 'Mummy' movie. While talking to the NY Post (via scifi.com), Weisz declared:

Definitely not. Not for $200 million. I don't do this for money, and I'm not for sale...I've played the character, and I have nothing left to add to her. Two Mummy movies is enough. I did it because I thought it was a fantastic role for a woman, and it reminded me of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and 'Romancing the Stone', which were movies I really loved as a kid. It was just really unpretentious, honest entertainment, and it was very aware of its own genre--it was self-consciously a B-movie. In a certain mood, it's the sort of thing I'd like to see myself.
