Where/Why Did She Go...?

Question

I just watched The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, and I noticed that Rachel Weisz (Who played Evelyn in all of the mummies) was replaced with Maria Bello (Playing Evelyn in the movie). Why was that?

BQ: Do you approve of this change?

Answer 1

I heard it was because she couldn't see herself being the mother of a 20 yr. old. Also because they wanted to change the way her character was seen, they wanted someone tougher and a little more ballsy.

I personally think it was a big mistake.

Answer 2

i dont know, but rachel weisz was awesome

Answer 3

Probably was because Rachel is getting to be too big an actress, and I wouldn't say it was because she didn't want to do it. It was because she is too expensive for that film or else because she was working on something else. They company who made the film I'd say they couldn't afford her.

Probably what 'Miss Sparrow' said too!

(That actually happens, I'm not making it up)
