Brendan Fraser Talks Mummy 2

Fraser isn't bored with his career. This May he stars in the big-budget summer blockbuster "Mummy Returns."

Is it as good as the original or just a way to suck some money out of fans? Fraser laughs and says, "I will go out on a limb here and say it's mo' better. The party line in Hollywood, when you do a sequel, is to try and remake the first one. But we didn't do that. We took what was so successful in the first one, and we upped the ante."

What was it like working with his co-star, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson?

"He's a myth," Fraser said. "He's a legend. He's a very scary guy. He plays the Scorpion King. Actually, I have yet to meet him. He was cyber-scanned onto a bug body."

Come again? "He did all of his scenes in Morocco before we got there. But it's funny the effect he has on people. Even the guys on camels in Morocco knew who he was. Everybody knows the Rock, I guess."
