The emotional reunion of Brendan Fraser and Michelle Yeoh 14 years after ‘The Mummy’


    Brendan Fraser has made us cry (again). Last week, the actor infected us with his tears after being moved by the very good reception that the film that anticipates his final return to the cinema in style had at the Venice Festival. With his last appearance, at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), something has been put in our eyes again, but this time it is not only Fraser’s fault: what has moved us has been the moving reunion of the actor with Michelle Yeoh, her co-star in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Both have received the festival’s Tribute Award as a tribute to their careers.

    Released in 2008, the third part of the film franchise of The Mummy It was a global success, grossing over $400 million worldwide. In the film, Fraser’s character, adventurer Rick O’Connell, and his family traveled to China to solve one of their usual incidents involving a walking corpse. In that case, that of the Dragon Emperor, who was brought to life by Jet Li. In the middle of that mess, Michelle Yeoh played a sorceress named Zi Yuan. The film capped off the saga that had established Fraser as the uncontested and comedic action hero of the turn of the millennium, but it was also one of the reasons for his fall from grace. A strenuous shoot on the Asian continent left the actor with multiple injuries that changed his physical complexion and, sadly, deflated his price on the perfidious Hollywood stock market. After that, Fraser disappeared from the big screen for more than a decade. The highly successful presentation at the Mostra de The Whalethe Darren Aronofsky film that nominates Brendan Fraser for a possible Oscar for best actor, predicts a possible return through the front door that underpins this TIFF honorary award.

Interestingly, his partner in the film, the actor Ke Huy Quan, has also recently starred in an emotional scene: his reunion with Harrison Ford after 38 years. The interpreter, born in Vietnam, appeared as a child with Ford as the secondary character Stopper in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doomthe 1984 film. After a fleeting success, which also led him to the goonies —another of the best films of the 80s—, Ke Huy Quan retired from acting to continue studying and working in the cinema, but behind the cameras. The actors, who had not seen each other since then, crossed paths behind the scenes of D23, the Disney event.
