Roland Emmerich’s 10,000 B.C. synopsis

10,000 B.C. is not a remake of the 1966 Rachel Welch film, One Million Years B.C., although I’m sure the inspiration came from the title.Roland Emmerich’s epic follows a young mammoth hunter’s journey through uncharted territory to secure the future of his tribe. 10,000 B.C. stars Camilla Belle, Steven Strait, Omar Sharif, Cliff Curtis and Tim Barlow, and will be in theaters on March 7, 2008.

The Last King of Scotland Co-Stars Interview Each Other

The last film (which has always stayed with me) I remember watching about Idi Amin, was 1981’s Amin: The Rise and Fall. It was a brutal portrait of Amin, containing rapes, mass murder and the utter degradation of his own people. Sharad Patel directed the film almost as a B movie horror, but with a better script. Some of the incidents ….

Frank Miller’s 300 Trailer 1 (Not a Teaser or a Journal)

In 480 B.C., Spartan King Leonidas and his royal guard of 300 readied themselves for battle against the mightiest Persian army ever assembled. The Spartans were outnumbered one hundred thousand to one, but sometimes choosing where to fight makes all the difference in the world.

New Apocalypto Trailer

As Apocalypto approaches it’s December 8, 2006 release date (It was pushed back from August because of torrential rains in Mexico), one wonders if Mel Gibson, in true Don Quixote fashion, may have bitten off more than he could chew again. Apocalypto has no major Hollywood stars, Gibson has been pummeled recently in the press, over his anti-semetic, drunken rage, and he’s telling ….

Zhang Yimou’s Curse of the Golden Flower Trailer

The first teaser trailer for Zhang Yimou’s Curse of the Golden Flower is up, and it looks sweet. Judging by Yimou’s previous efforts, which include House of Flying Daggers, Jet Li’s Hero and Raise the Red Lantern, I’d say he’s well qualified to bring a beautifully directed piece of action-art to the screen again. Curse of the Golden Flower focuses on the ….

New Helmer for New Conan

Variety reports that Warner Brothers has attached director Boaz Yakin (Remember the Titans) to write and possibly direct the Conan the Barbarian film, a new take on the Robert E. Howard character. The trade reports that Yakin’s concept is more faithful to the original Howard story than were the two Dino De Laurentiis-produced films that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as the sword-wielding conqueror/king. Warners has ….
