Rachel Weisz in The Mummy: Unleashing Chaos in the Library
The library scene in The Mummy (1999) was filmed at the University of Toronto's E.J. Pratt Library in Canada. Specifically, the scene occurs in the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, located on the university's St. George campus.
The library scene in The Mummy has a dual purpose, introducing the audience to Evelyn and balancing the movie's horror themes with humor. Despite its brevity, filming the scene posed a significant challenge. Precise placement of all set elements was necessary to ensure that the bookshelf domino effect would work on the first attempt. Otherwise, it would have taken a whole day to reset and reshoot. The scene's complexity, with additional moving parts beyond the bookshelves, made it one of the most difficult to shoot in the film.
