  it's been just a couple days since arriving in Montreal, Canada and joining the production of "The Mummy 3".  As I sit here, reading the Chinese / English scrīpt, I have a sense of deja vu ...
  
  In my May 4th blog entry, I mentioned a similar experience while reading the scrīpt for "The Forbidden Kingdom".  And now I'm reading a new scrīpt.  As I've said, the process of making movies is like dreaming, and the life of a filmmaker is also like a dream.  It is like having a dream within a dream.
  
  In the end, making movies is my job, so I won't let the audience down.  I always try my best to do a good job.  I will be here for just 2 weeks and then the production moves to China to complete the film there.   Rob Cohen, the director, showed me 8 minutes of edited footage taken from the past 2 months of film production.  I was in shock when I saw it.  Rob is a good friend of mine -- we've been thinking about working together for the past 2 years -- so we're both very excited to finally be on set together, making this happen!
  
  Mummy 3 is the largest production I've ever been involved with in my entire career.  The budget is roughly $152 million USD.  I heard that there are 1200 crew members in China.  It's such a huge team!
  
  Whenever I start work on a new film, I tell myself that I am just a student -- I will learn everything from the beginning and work to make it the best.  When I have more updates from the production of Mummy 3 we will chat more!
