287 - The Sound of Lee Cronin’s The Mummy

Today we welcome acclaimed horror filmmaker Lee Cronin back to the show, alongside sound designer and supervising sound editor Peter Albrechtsen, to discuss their delightfully gory new horror film, “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy.” As with their previous collaboration, 2023’s hit “Evil Dead Rise,” Cronin and Albrechtsen embraced sound design from the earliest stages of the creative process, using it not only for maximum impact, but also to sharpen the film’s storytelling. “I actually found the edit on this one quite stressful… We would have been in big trouble without early sound in it. Because of the way it was written and the nature of it, and how the tension needed to be built. At times, it was quite hard to find the shape of scenes without sound that was very, very clear in its signposting of where we were headed, ultimately. Sometimes you’re cutting something and you can dig into a bit of a library, but quite early on we actually needed design to help us craft the sequences.” —Lee Cronin, Director and Writer, “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” Be sure to check out “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy,” now playing in theaters and Dolby Cinemas® in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos® .
