According to Playback, The Mummy 3 is to shoot in Montreal:

After bypassing la belle province because of its labor woes, the producers of the US$100-million Universal feature The Mummy 3 have changed their minds, and are now set to shoot the horror/adventure sequel in Montreal, says Hans Fraikin, head of the Quebec Film and Television Council.

This follows the "deal in principal" reached on Friday that stands to end the lengthy and costly dispute between the AQTIS and IATSE technicians unions.

"This deal has been a long time in coming, and it's good that it comes when it does or we could have lost 2007," Fraikin tells Playback Daily, on the phone from Los Angeles, where he's trying to convince the producers of five other big-budget American films to take a second look at Montreal. "I'm here to reassure the studios that Montreal's back in business."
