The Scorpion King 3 Trailer Starring Billy Zane and Ron Perlman
It seems insane that The Mummy franchise has spawned six movies over the past decade, and yet, here we are. The IMDb Trivia section for The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption points out that it is “a sequel to a prequel to a prequel of a sequel of a remake” so at least it has that going for it. You may recall that the Scorpion King (first played by Dwayne Johnson) was a villain in The Mummy Returns who made a deal with Anubis, god of the underworld, to be his eternal servant in exchange for revenge. The Rock became a good guy when he reprised his role in the first Scorpion King spin-off, and was then replaced with Michael Copon (Power Rangers: Time Force) for part 2. Now the same character will be played by Victor Webster (Castle).
The Scorpion King 3 supposedly takes place between The Scorpion King 1 and 2, but to be honest, I’m not sure how anyone can make sense of the story at this point. All that really matters is that they decided to put together an MMA fighter, a wrestler, and some veteran actors to crank out a low budget action flick. This installment stars Ron Perlman, Billy Zane, Dave Bautista, Kimbo Slice and Jango Fett himself, Temuera Morrison. Director Roel Reiné is the same guy that did the DTV sequels Death Race 2 and The Marine 2… what else do you need to know? The Scorpion King 3 hits DVD and Blu-ray on January 17th, 2012; check out the trailer after the jump.

Posted by Jonny Ashley on October 14th, 2011I can’t believe that they even gave this a green light let alone put it into production. Off topic, the Poster makes Perlman look like a combination of Harry from “Harry and the Henderson’s,” and Vigo from “Ghostbusters 2.”
Posted by Tim Tilley on October 14th, 2011Poor Billy Zane.
Posted by Dave on October 14th, 2011It doesn’t get any better than this!

Posted by Niklas on October 15th, 2011It’s so weird that Ron Perlman can be in this, then do something critically acclaimed like Drive.
Posted by indianamcclain on October 15th, 2011Perlman gots to eat.
Posted by swarez on October 16th, 2011Does Billy Zane even care anymore?
perlman looks like he just got accused of ripping a fart in church
Posted by mitch on October 16th, 2011There was a Scorpion King 2? Wow.
Posted by Calvin on October 17th, 2011I was excited when I thought, “Oh man, they got Kamala for this?” Then I realized, no, it was Kimbo
Posted by Steve Kasan on October 17th, 2011Quite honesty, the fact that Roel Reiné is directing, Dwayne Johnson is not reprising the role, the film is placed between 1 and 2 (seriously?), and is a “straight-to-disc” project makes me want to give it two thumbs down already. What may be it’s one redeeming quality is Selina Lo. My guess is she’ll be the biggest reason for sales.
