"THE MUMMY." HERE'S A SNEAK PEEK.

>> OH, YES, I DID. >> WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
DON'T LEAVE ME. >> THERE'S NOWHERE TO GO.
WE'RE GOING TO DIE. >> PLEASE, LET ME THINK.
>> WE'RE GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF YOU.
>> LET ME THINK. >> WHAT?
>> I'M THINKING. >> WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?
>> I'M THINKING WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO DIE HERE.

JAKE JOHNSON, GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING.
HE'S THE BEST, BY THE WAY, TOM. >> TOGETHER, THOUGH, YOU GUYS
ARE A GREAT DUO. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. AND I STARTED LAUGHING WHEN YOU
ENTERING THE PICTURE. THERE'S A PERFECT AMOUNT OF
COMIC RELIEF. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I WAS REALLY FUN. HE IS THE SCARIEST GUY I EVER
WORKED WITH. HE DOES EVERYTHING.
EVERY TIME WE'RE JUMPING OFF BUILDINGS, THERE'S NO PADS.
WE'RE JUST JUMPING OFF BUILDINGS.
WE JUMP OFF OF A THREE-STORY BUILDING THAT COLLAPSES.
AND THERE'S NO WIRES. I KEPT BEING LIKE, THIS IS
TERRIFYING. I SAID, WE COULD DIE.
HE'S LIKE, I KNOW, DON'T. THIS IS THE BEST PART.
EVERY GUY WANTS TO BE THE BUDDY IN AN ACTION THRILLER.
>> YEAH. >> YOU WANT TO BE WITH TOM
CRUISE. >> YOU KNOW, WHEN THE
OPPORTUNITY CAME UP I JUMPED AT IT BECAUSE I WANTED TO SEE WHAT
IT WAS LIKE TO DO A TOM CRUZ MOVIE, MORE THAN AN ACTION
MOVIE. I HEARD ABOUT TOM CRUISE AND HOW
HE DOES THINGS. IT WAS NICE TO KNOW THAT HE'S
THE REAL DEAL. HE'S A BLAST TO WORK WITH.
AND HE'S PASSIONATE AND HE CARES.
THIS WAS A DREAM EXPERIENCE. >> BECAUSE OF HIS PASSION, IT IS
LIKE DOING A FANTASY CAMP WITH TOM CRUISE, IN TERMS OF WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, WITH STUNTS.
YOU GO THROUGH -- DOES HE HAVE REHEARSAL TIME?
>> WE TRAIN FOR ABOUT 4 1/2 MONTHS.
>> WOW. >> WE KNEW WHAT WE WERE GOING TO
GET INTO. HE PUTS YOU THROUGH IT.
HE HAS A GYM HE HAS THE PAN CAVE.
>> WHAT'S THAT? >> THE PAN CAVE.
>> THE PAIN CAVE. >> DID I SAY PAN?
>> I HEARD WRONG. >> EVERYBODY IN THIS ROOM IS
HUNGRY. >> LIKE PANCAKES.
>> IN THE WAFFLE HOUSE. UNBELIEVABLE.
>> YOU GET SAUSAGES, AND PANCAKES.
>> HE OWNS AN IHOP. >> THIS IS THE TOM CRUISE PAN
CAVE RIGHT HERE. >> THE PAIN CAVE.
WHAT DO YOU DO IN THE PAIN CAVE? >> TERRIBLE SQUATS.
JUMPING ON BOXES. YOU JUST WORK.
AND YOU JUST WORK SO YOU CAN DO THE SCENES WITH HIM.
HE DOES THAT FIVE DAYS A WEEK, NONSTOP.
>> DO YOU GET A GRAND SLAM WHEN YOU FINISH?
>> I DID. HE DIDN'T.
>> DID YOU HAVE A TRAINER FOR THE MOVIE?
>> ALL HIS TEAM. >> HE HAS PEOPLE?
>> HE HAS TRAINERS. >> TRAINERS, WAFFLE COOKS.
>> I DIDN'T DO "THE MUMMY." I WENT TO IHOP.
>> BEFORE YOU LEAVE US THIS MORNING, REALLY QUICKLY, BECAUSE
YOU HAVE SO MANY GIRL FANS, NEXT SEASON, SEASON SERVE.
>> FOX IS DOING A FINAL SEASON. AND I'M HEARING IT WILL BE A
JUMP FORWARD. >> OKAY.
>> BUT WE'RE THRILLED. WE'RE HAPPY TO THE FANS GET IT.
AND WAE WANTED AN ENDING FOR THE SHOW.
>> YOU'RE A BUSY GUY. "THE MUMMY" IN THEATERS THIS
FRIDAY, JUNE 9th. BACK IN A MOMENT.
THIS IS "TODAY" ON NBC.
