for the fourth time and expressed hope that moviegoers will enjoy his new action-horror film “The Mummy.”
“I’m very, very excited to be here. This is my fourth time in this country and I receive such a warm welcome every time. It’s really very special for me,” Cruise said at a press conference in Taipei, which was also attended by co-stars Sofia Boutella and Annabelle Wallis and the film’s director Alex Kurtzman.
Cruise said “The Mummy” offers a different take on what constitutes a monster film.
