Universal Studios Home Video will unleash "The Scorpion King," the $90 million box office spin-off of the phenomenally popular "Mummy" series, on DVD and VHS October 1, 2002. Filled with explosive battle scenes and larger than life characters, "The Scorpion King" stars WWE sensation and pop-culture phenomenon, The Rock. On track to become the next action hero, The Rock tears up the screen as the most feared warrior in ancient Egypt -- the Scorpion King. The film, which features mind-blowing action and stunts, is directed by Chuck Russell ("The Mask," "Eraser") and produced by Stephen Sommers, Sean Daniel, James Jacks and Kevin Misher. WWE Chairman Vincent K. McMahon served as executive producer.

Also debuting October 1, 2002 on DVD and VHS is "The Mummy: Quest for the Lost Scrolls," a feature-length animated adventure based on the characters in "The Mummy Returns" and appropriately geared for kids between the ages five to nine.
