Maria Bello will replace Rachel Weisz in the third installment of The Mummy 3: Curse of the Dragon after Weisz left because of "script problems". Variety reports that she joins Brendan Fraser, Luke Ford, Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh in the Rob Cohen-directed film for Universal Pictures. Bello will play Evelyn Carnahan O'Connell, the adventuress played in the first two films by Weisz. After Weisz declined to reprise, Cohen and the studio cast a wide net for a replacement. Scripted by "Smallville" creators Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, the film brings the O'Connells and their full-grown son (Ford) to the forbidden tombs of China and the Himalayas, where they battle a shape-shifting mummy, a former Chinese emperor (Li) cursed by a wizard (Yeoh).

    I don't think they should replace Rachel Weisz. She was great in the first and Second and it be good if she in this one too with Brandon Fraser

    hey that's cool, I don't care soo much about them replacing weisz, I just don't want them to replace brendan fraser! that would ruin the movie right there!But i'm sure whoever they find to replace weisz, i'm sure i'm going to hate her anyway for being the leading actress in the movie, and kissing my hottie.

    You can't replace her! that is so not right!
    Most of the time I agree with this quote, unless the actor/actress really sucked.

    "When a guy named Jon Hein first coined the term “Jump the Shark” he discovered that a bunch of television shows began to “suck” when one of the lead actors was replaced (for instince, Becky from Roseanne). The audiences hate this sort of thing, almost to the point that they feel insulted."
