I'm debating picking up It as my next audio book, partly because the books I'm generally into are too short and I burn through my monthly audible credits. It is 44 hours long – which solves one problem – but could very well introduce many more.

I'm actually disappointed by that trailer. The way people were going on about it, I thought it was going to just destroy me. It did not.
The original killed me when I was younger and it was largely why I avoid shower and sink drains as best I can, but it didn't really hold up much, outside of Tim Currie's performance. He was just incredibly horrifying in it. Very upbeat and comical, almost like a totally normal clown, except for the psychological taunting and torment. This one, based on the admittedly short scenes in the trailer, seem to be going more for shock scares instead.
Having said all that, I will be seeing it, most definitely.
Also - I laughed when the kid ran into that barrier. Probably wrong of me.
Also - the girl in that trailer, that yells out "turn it off" when the projector thing happens, is she related to Tim Currie? I feel like she could be.
The 1999 Mummy was one of the best pure action/adventure films.
This looks to be borrowing a lot while adding different elements. Tom Cruise won't bring the same humour or charisma but perhaps this one's aiming for a darker tone and heavier action. I'll be checking it out with low expectations.

I don't think this will be anything like Brendan Fraser's Mummy. It's the first installment of Universal Studio's Monster Universe, like the MCU or DCEU.
Pfft, good luck Universal, there's only one monster team up movie for me!!
Spoiler!

Hm, curious. Which monsters does Universal have the rights for that would be in their universe?
Legendary has Godzilla, King Kong, Pacific Rim and is shaping up nicely.
I believe it's more of a 'classic movie monsters' type thing. So, the mummy, Dracula, Frankenstein, that kind of thing. Much less cool than the giant monster-verse.

They should turn them into a superhero group. It would be the dumbest idea ever, and I would very likely go see that movie anyway.
