10,000 Bc

The Day After Tomorrow director Roland Emmerich has settled on his next project, 10,000 B.C. Basically doing exactly what it says on the tin, the film will centre on a 21-year-old man member of a pre-historic tribe migrating through their homeland and slaughtering mammoth.

The script was co-written by Emmerich and his composer on Day After Tomorrow, Harald Kloser. Emmerich is looking for an unknown to play the lead (got a beard? Excess body hair? You could be famous!) and will begin casting later this month, with filming due to start in Africa in February.

[Kevin Roegele]

Given that Day After was slightly better than Godzilla and ID4, which were complete f****** b*******, this might be, maybe, reasonably watchable, perhaps.

[Caliber]

This sounds like 2 hours of crap.

[green]

The script was co-written? You mean they speak?

Eh Id rather watch Raquel Welch.

[Edward Brock]

Man, THAT was a funny movie. Watch out for the giant, man-eating Iguana!!!
Wonder what the budget for this seemingly crashing meteor will be like.

[Obsidian]

So...I wonder what special f/x they'll do in this movie? Dinosaurs? Ice age?

[dpm07]

I really don't think a film like this would do well. Not in today's world. There wouldn't be any vocabulary anyone could understand, or any real purpose.

The great thing about ID4 was that it really showed what happens when leadership comes together and works to save the world from a great threat. I liked The Day After Tomorrow, because it showed the tenacity of American spirit, and how we were able to let the third world countries help us when we needed it.

[WormyT]

Given that Day After was slightly better than Godzilla and ID4, which were complete f****** b*******, this might be, maybe, reasonably watchable, perhaps.
Don't forget Stargate and Universal Soldier, both were triumphs.

Seriously though I think The Patriot is by far Roland Emmerichs best movie.
This 10 000bc movie might be fun, but they better not be speaking english.

[Excel]

yeah icant believe the director of GODZILLA is also the director of the patriot.

Strait and Belle Go Back to 10,000 B.C.

Source: Variety (http://www.variety.com/)
February 27, 2006



Director Roland Emmerich (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=13355#) has set Steven Strait (Sky High) and Camilla Belle (When a Stranger Calls) to star in 10,000 B.C. (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=13260), the period epic drama (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=13355#) that will begin shooting April 24 for a summer 2007 tentpole for Warner Bros., reports Variety.

Emmerich's Centropolis partner Michael Wimer is producing with Mark Gordon. Legendary Pictures is co-financing, and its chairman-CEO, Thomas Tull, is executive producing along with Harald Kloser and Tom Karnowski. Warner Bros. will distribute worldwide.

Strait will play a youngster far down in the pecking order of a primitive tribe that survives by hunting migrating mammoth. He pines for a princess well above his station. When the tribe's hunters are enslaved and the princess kidnapped, the boy realizes his tribe is headed for extinction unless he takes action.

Emmerich wrote the first draft with Kloser, his musical composer on The Day After Tomorrow (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=13355#). Their ambition was to illustrate three stages of primitive man. The most recent draft was done by Robert Rodat, who worked with both Emmerich and Gordon on The Patriot, and with Gordon on Saving Private Ryan (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=13355#). The dialogue will be English language.

The film will shoot in South Africa and Namibia.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

I would never make a prehistoric man movie. :confused:
Either they go for realism and then you have to sit through 2 hours of grunting and chimp-talk, or they speak in English which is supremely retarded.
Sounds quite boring also.

[jaguarr]

Warren Peace as a caveman, directed by the guy who brought us the American version of Godzilla. Ummm....yeah....I think I'll rent something else instead...

[Darthphere]

What is Camilla Belle doing to her career? :(

At least ID4 was entertaining.

The rest of his films are tripe though

Independance Day is worth it just for Jeff Goldblum's triumphant, cigar-smoking swagger at the end. He walks like a supermodel, hilarious.

[KALEL114]

[primemover]

So...I wonder what special f/x they'll do in this movie? Dinosaurs? Ice age?

Dinosaus were long gone by the time humans entered the scene, and when I say long gone I mean like 60+ million years before. So don't expect any Dinosaurs unless the movie is sci-fi.

The last ice age receded around 10,000 years ago, so it could very well take place during the recession.

Also, 10,000 B.C isn't too far back to think that these people would only be grunting, as language is believed to be around for much longer. So as for them speaking english, if you can believe any movie that has foriegn characters speaking english, ie Red October, then I can't see why cavemen speaking english would be a big stretch. this is a movie afterall, not a history text. I imagine the best technique would be some proto-language with captions, or perhaps just go the Passion of the Christ route, like The Quest for Fire.

[Obsidian]

Dinosaus were long gone by the time humans entered the scene, and when I say long gone I mean like 60+ million years before. So don't expect any Dinosaurs unless the movie is sci-fi.

Who knows? Emmerich might just choose to include dinosaurs because it sounds cool:(

[LetsHangBendis]

I really don't think a film like this would do well. Not in today's world. There wouldn't be any vocabulary anyone could understand, or any real purpose.

The great thing about ID4 was that it really showed what happens when leadership comes together and works to save the world from a great threat. I liked The Day After Tomorrow, because it showed the tenacity of American spirit, and how we were able to let the third world countries help us when we needed it.But leadership never comes together for any reason and the American Spirit isn't as tenacious as we'd like to believe. His movies are preachy bull **** and it's flat out dangerous to even consider them based in some kind of realism.

We AREN'T willing to let the third world help us and they shouldn't have to. Ever. We're just stupid enough however to fall for all the things he predicts. It really sickens me to watch a Roland Emmerich movie, because the first act, when everyone is a selfish douche, is dead on realistic. Then it gets stupid.

[Red Mask]

Wait a minute. I read in National Geographic that pre-historic man really didn't hunt mammoths. Something about a huge gap between when they existed.

[primemover]

Might have read that wrong, Humans and Mammoths definately existed at the same time.

[Red Mask]

What about the sabretooth tiger? I'm sure it was about one of those animals.

[primemover]

Nah, Sabretooths were around, maybe you are thinking of the Dinosaurs?

[Red Mask]

Okay here it is. National Geographic vol. 198, no. 1, July 2000.

Researchers have questioned the traditional image of what anthropologist Olga Soffer calls the "macho, Hemingwayesque big-game hunter". She and other scholars believe that very few of the huge mammoths were stalked and killed but rather that most were scavenged after dying of natural causes. The discovery of meshlike-impressions on clay fragments in Pavlov Hills also leads to speculation that family members set nets for catching small game like hares, foxes, and squirrels.

[GoldGoblin]

^So we won't see any dinosaurs,just a bunch of cavemen grunting with subtitles?Sounds so boring.

[DACrowe]

Wow he gets progressively worse!

First we get Stargate which is average but entertaining sci-fi schlock (a rental).

Then we get ID4 which is cheesy crap, but emmensly entertaining and while ripping off every movie ever made leaves you with a smile on your face....albeit if you see it again it continually gets worse and worse as a P.O.S. then so forth.

We get Godzilla which was crap. A few cool scenes and a great marketing team and a half decent cast, but pure trite.

Then we get The Patriot which takes a **** on history and is so bad with its unintentional attempts at being patriotic and moving. We're talking Green Berets crap here.

Then The Day After Tomorrow, arguably the worst disaster movie ever made (for the big screen). Complete with crappy diologue, undeveloped cliches, pretentious political messages that a 5 year old would already know, pathetic attempts at political satire and every cliche thrown in there in the book including a cancer kid who is just there to make Sela Ward seem heroic while she just sits there the whole movie....oy and again godd actors are wasted in this movie.

So how can he top the crapfest that was The Day After Tomorrow? Oh I know, a prehistoric movie that will probably feature dionsaurs and other such bull**** reminding us of those '60s B-Hammer movies, eh?

What a hack.

[terry78]

^Yet we're all still going to go see it, simply because it would be the first serious movie about early man.

Wait a minute. I read in National Geographic that pre-historic man really didn't hunt mammoths. Something about a huge gap between when they existed.
There are examples of mamoth bones that appear to have been broken by stone age people. There are cave paintings of mamoths and we know that people were roaming the land well before 10,000 years ago when the classic woolly mamoth sub-species died out. Maybe the article you read mentions some early ancestor of the mamoth that predated mankind?

[Red Mask]

Read the post I have above.

[The Phantom]

As much as I'd like to join the crowd, I'd have to say that I liked Godzilla, ID4, and Day After Tomorrow quite bit. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that ID4 was my "Star Wars" before I actually saw Star Wars.

While not the most interesting time period in my opinion, it sounds pretty exciting, although it sounds a lot more like a Discovery Channel Documentary than a movie.

[Red Mask]

What's this? People are now starting to hate "ID4"? When did that happen? I remember when people were going ape all over it.

Thats right. In ID4 everyone else in the world sat on their butts and waited for the US to come up with a plan. cos thats all we do. we wait and hide under our beds until the mighty US of A comes up with idea to save our lousy skins.

and then, they generously let everyone help them when their own land is a frozen wasteland.

I thought both movies were actualyy documentaries, they were so true to life.

[thealiasman2000]

1-Aren't cavewomen supposed to be big, burly, manly woman?

Camilla Belle hardly fits the bill.

What about Lucy Lawless, Chyna, Julie Strain or Grace Jones?

2-Wouldn't this work better as a comedy?

Most cavemen movies I've seen were comedies: "The Flintstones", "Brother Bear", "Ice Age"...

3-You do realize that if they don't speak English, you won't understand a thing that they say?

The cavemen in "Brother Bear" spoke English.

4-NO DINOSAURS! When will people get throught their thick heads that, when men came along, dinosaurs were already extinct!

[thealiasman2000]

I'm pretty sure the more evolved cavemen developed some sort of speech.

[primemover]

Human beings had language long before 10,000 BC.

Though it would seem weird for them to be speaking English, it would be like any movie spoken in English that was set in some other country(or even time), ie Red October. If it's a movie made for an American audience, it makes sense to have it played in the language American's understand.

The hard part here is convincing people that is what people 12,000 years ago said to eachother, because even though word to word translating is easy, context is not. Most people probably think people back then didn't even speak, and if they did it was nothing more than grunts relating to food and sex, and would probably never accept anything more.

how was the day after tomorrow "horrifically bad"?

maybe it wasn't your cup of tea, but it was hardly a bad movie. it was watchable, at the least. people here need to learn the difference between horrible (uwe boll movies) bad (paul anderson movies) and decent, but not great (emmerich movies)

The writing in both narrative and dialogue was up there with Catwoman for lack of quality. Sure the effects were decent, but that was it. As for direction, what direction? It was completely uninspiring and pointless.

No emotion from actors, nothing, it was a cheesey and poorly constructed movie with virtually no remotely worthwhile qualities.

[Rez]

[terry78]

It's like ice age type stuff...they're basing it more after the dino time.

[Rez]

I know, but really, does ANYONE care about that? The only reason people even think about cavemen is because they make tasty dinosaur food. And since we all know this will be full of impossible and epic action feats, it might as well be against dinosaurs instead of against cats. So lame.

[jaguarr]

I don't know. Conceptually it could be very cool, with cavemen dealing with sabretooth tigers, woolly mammoths and the other creatures of that time. Since it's Emmerich, though, I'm pretty sure it will be big on visuals and short on script or plot.

Plot Summary:
It was a time when man and beast were untamed and the mighty mammoth roamed the earth.

[Movies205]

My opinion of Roland Emerich is that he's a relic from the 1990s and Day After Tommorrow painfully prove this, his films end up being all flash with some decent characterizations that never go anywhere. However with that said the trailer has me somewhat exicted for this film since it could be what Apocalypto could of been.

[Hunter Rider]

I have to say i love the look of that trailer:hyper:

because people never saw dinosaurs back then. they died off before. teaser peaked my interest.

It's Emmerich, so I'm not going to even watch the teaser, because I know it will be waste of time for me (I've already given him a chance).

I'll be honest...this is how you do a Tarzan flick...minus the rest of the characters.

[dark_b]

this movie looks like poseidon.......it looks like it was made to bomb.

[jaguarr]

I'll be honest...this is how you do a Tarzan flick...minus the rest of the characters.

Trailer looks great, actually. Most of Emmerich's trailers do, though. I'm curious to see how the story and plot have been developed and executed, though. That's usually where his films just fall to complete pieces.

As for Tarzan, nobody has yet been able to top the Greystoke film with Christopher Lambert. That film is just so well done, even if some of the monkey suits are a bit on the cheesy side. To me, that's really the gold standard of Tarzan films that sets the mark.

[Mr. Credible]

heh, i just realized after watching transformers again: 10,000 BC is when carbon dating told them the allspark landed on earth.

just a funny little coincidence.

[liesse00]

Yea, we know you told us

[xwolverine2]

looks boring...

very boring....

zzzzZZZzz.....

[nocomics]

Sounds like this is gonna be like apoctlypto(sp) type movie imo...

[Tempest19]

One of the BEST teasers that I have ever saw... going to be more than an infinity times better than Apocolypto.

I love prehistoric creatures, so this movie- at least for me- is going to be kick ass.

Hell, I even had a fangasm while watching it!

[Hunter Rider]

jag

I agree Jag but for me the scope and visual side alone is enough to scream to me "See it on the big screen"

[Dark Donnie]

Loved the trailer....action packed. The effects look really well done as well. Some pretty badass animals in there mammoths, and a sabretooth, combine that with what looks like a battle or two between some pretty rough looking guys and I think it will be pretty good.

I think he makes good popcorn flicks which im sure this will be. I'll definately check it out in theaters!

[aaron]

did i see dinosaurs in that trailer?

[Mr. Socko]

Are they going to talk and speak english?

If it's going to be accurate then they won't, but then I wouldn't see it either if all they do is grunt lol

[the a1ant]

The teaser trailer was awesome. This looks to be a fun film. Historically speaking, this looks off, but the visuals are great and I love his films for what they are. I think I saw dinosaurs in there :confused:

[Rac]

Teaser didn't look too bad. I quite enjoyed it. It also reminded me of Apocalypto, but the movie won't probably be as good as Apocalypto were.

I wonder if there will be any nods to the old Hammer prehistoric movies. :woot: Akita! Akita! Shanna! :woot:

[green]

That looks 10,000 times better than I thought it would.:woot:

[AhabTheArab]

the cgi looks like ass. but it looks like a lot of action.... bomb.

[deathshead2]

Lets see I liked Stargate,ID,Godzilla, and DAT was at least fun to watch once, and I thought the patriot sucked. So this movie could go either way for me.

[Cinemaman]

it probably took you longer to come in here and post that than it would to watch the teaser.

if you don't care, don't post anything.

It's forum. I can express my opinion even in the hread about the movie,w hich doens't look intersting to me.

[turtlefocker]

Well thats just like your opinoun man... and mine to this film will suck

[turtlefocker]

The only ONLY thing that could redeem this film is a young Rachel Welch in a sexy furry bikini.

[Hunter Rider]

It's forum. I can express my opinion even in the hread about the movie,w hich doens't look intersting to me.

Still worth checking the trailer IMO Cine,i think it looks like a fun spectacle movie for the big screen

I'll think about it :woot:

this looks amazing.

[terry78]

CGI sabretooth tigers have come a long way since the CGI version of Baby Puss in the Flintstones movie.

[Mogwai]

lol, that wasn't a puppet?

[rdh007]

meh.

[Red Mask]

So a 'prehistoric man' will face sabretooth tigers, mammoths, go all the way south to Mesopotamia and Africa, where the earliest pyramids and civilizations were formed, just so he can save his tribe thousands of miles back up north? O.K...

The New 10,000 B.C. Poster!
Source: Warner Bros. Pictures
October 3, 2007


Warner Bros. Pictures has provided ComingSoon.net with a first look at the new poster (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=37999#) for Roland Emmerich's 10,000 B.C. (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=13260), hitting theaters (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=37999#) on March 7.

It was a time when man and beast were untamed and the mighty mammoth roamed the earth. A time when ideas and beliefs were born that forever shaped mankind. b>10,000 B.C. (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=13260) follows a young hunter (Steven Strait) on his quest to lead an army across a vast desert, battling saber tooth tigers and prehistoric predators as he unearths a lost civilization and attempts to rescue the woman he loves (Camilla Belle) from an evil warlord determined to possess her.

He looks like Snuffleupagus.

"Bird, he's gonna stick me with that spear...oh dear."

nice poster

[Mr. Socko]

As I said before, this movie is doomed to fail.


Firstly, no one will see a film about Cavemen who grunt and no words are spoken throughout the entire movie.

Secondly, if they do speak english, no one in the world will take this seriously.

[Asteroid-Man]

I am really interested in this movie! So there! :p

[Ratcrawler]

Yeah, I wanna see it myself. I don't care if they sPeak as long as they don't use geico.com.

even though Emmerich's movies aren't all that great, i still enjoy them. i was around 14 when Independence Day came out so i loved it along with Godzilla. Day After Tomorrow was a solid popcorn flick. i guess that's how i would describe Emmerich's movies.....solid popcorn flicks.

I'm guessing there will be subtitles? At least I hope so, would hate to have all that CGI,and action be squashed cause of no dialect. I don't think todays audience could handle it that way...

[StrainedEyes]

I'm mad that decency was invented before 10,000 BC... Even back then guys still had to work to see the goods.

This movie looks stupid... What's up with the poster? Why did they randomly put this tiny guy in the corner? He's way to small to have any relation to the mammoth.

Cavemen should not have eye liner and neatly shaven goatees.


:dry: To this movie :dry: To the max.

[chaseter]

Wow. Female Australopitheci really knew how to apply foundation.
And keep those pesky eye brows waxed:o

[A Dark Knight]

Need to see a full trailer before I decide to go and see this or not, the teaser really didn't get me excited to see it at all.

[A Dark Knight]

I was hoping for a 300 type film, I don't think I am going to get that.

[A Dark Knight]

What really is the story of this film? I have no idea from the teaser.

[bunk]

Is this movie sub titled, or is there just not much language involved or what? Trailer was alright but I'm not really sure what to think of this.

The trailer was surprisingly cool. I'll keep my eyes on this one, it could be a cool fantasy epic.

[Taiwarriorz21]

dude i loved the trailer. only thing i dont like is the raptor was like a tall bird with a beak. Gosh Jurassic Park IV needs to hurry up and be made!!!!!!!!!! Come on Spielberg!!!!

[Timstuff]

I'm pretty sure the "raptor" that you're referring to was a "tall bird." There weren't many dinos around in the ice age, to my knowledge.

[Arc-Light]

dude i loved the trailer. only thing i dont like is the raptor was like a tall bird with a beak. Gosh Jurassic Park IV needs to hurry up and be made!!!!!!!!!! Come on Spielberg!!!!

Ahh you do know what raptor means right. There were large predators birds back in the day. No dino's but large birds. I am curious on how they deal with the 1st civilization thing, from the looks of the trailer it seems they are pushing it.

[Tempest19]

Awesome. No subtitles. :)

Well what do you expect? It was a movie about freaking ape men. Think Planet of the Apes without sci-fi. Or Charlton Heston, for that matter.

[terry78]

I do like that they got the mammoths and sabretooth cats pretty decent looking. They're CG, but it's decent CG. Bring on Flintstones 3. :o

[A Dark Knight]

I have to admit the trailer is actually pretty good, I will check this out.

[Ratcrawler]

Is it on youtube?

I do like that they got the mammoths and sabretooth cats pretty decent looking. They're CG, but it's decent CG. Bring on Flintstones 3. :o

So long as it ignore's the prequel entirely and doesn't recast Rosie O'Donnell as Betty Rubble.

The director is crap, so the movie has a 90% chance of sucking. I'll torture myself on DVD.

Seen the trailer,it don't look to bad. I think the title of the movie led ppl astray or something,lot of ppl think its like a Quest for Fire type movie. Its definately not,more like a braveheart/Apolypto type movie rolled in one.
I'll check it out for sure looks like an entertaining movie for sure...

[DOG LIPS]

Mmmmm... Camilla Belle. :heart:

I'd never even heard of this until I saw the movie poster in the theater, then looked online for the trailer. Looks tasty.

[Lord Blackbolt]

It would be cool if this was a prequel to Stargate...I mean these guys did direct that movie. What if the Pyramid flies off at the end of the movie. Now I'd love that.

[SapphirePrima]

Anyone have a sypnosis for this movie? It looks interesting then really unbelievable.

[liesse00]

In a remote mountain tribe, the young hunter, D'Leh (Steven Strait), has found his heart's passion - the beautiful Evolet (Camilla Belle). When a band of mysterious warlords raid his village and kidnap Evolet, D'Leh is forced to lead a small group of hunters to pursue the warlords to the end of the world to save her. Driven by destiny, the unlikely band of warriors must battle saber-tooth tigers and prehistoric predators and, at their heroic journey's end, they uncover a Lost Civilization. Their ultimate fate lies in an empire beyond imagination, where great pyramids reach into the skies. Here they will take their stand against a powerful god who has brutally enslaved their people.

[Electrix]

4 New Posters!

http://filmonic.com/10-000-bc-get-4-new-posters/

[dpm07]

This movie is going to be awesome on Blu-Ray!

One of the things that is interesting is the pyramids, and the people who definitely look like they belong to an antedeluvian civilization. Perhaps Atlantis or Lemuria.

I do like that the film presents things as they probably occurred and not as the dogmatic conservative historians or archaeologists would have us believe they occurred.

This movie looks great but I have two cents to add in:

1. The CGI on the Sabretooth Tiger's face is terrible
2. If the characters didn't talk and just sort of grunted and stuff with subtitles, that would've been better then them all speaking English!

Other then that, this movie looks AWESOME!

[cookiva]

I dunno. That sabretooth was pretty bad...

[terry78]

I said before that's what The Flintstones pet cat would look like if he just got pissed one day.

[The Geek Vault]

at first I thought this movie looked like Apocolypto and looked horrible but I'm kinda pumped for it though now.

Nope. And It's probably not unfinished. At least not in trailer 2 and in the poster. The movie's done and the tiger still looks bad. Either way, the rest looks amazing!

[turtlefocker]

I agree. Should have went in a similar direction as apocalypto,. I hope there is very little dialog.

I think it would have been best with none. just grunts. no subtitles. But the general audience would not have enjoyed that.

The superbowl spot was a waste of money.

[Asteroid-Man]

*high-fives turtlefocker*

wait, there was a superbowl spot!?

Hopefully the Hulk trailer will be attached to this.

Oh, and do they have humans coexisting with Dinosaurs in this?

Actually, Emmerich was trying to keep it under wraps, but the above do appear at some point in the film.

[DBZ2cool]

^ funny

[Harry Goblin]

I just cant get myself hyped to see this. Ill see it tho, but like someone said above, grunts and no subtitles would be great but im sure people would complain about that.

I actually think the tiger looks fine, great actually

[DBZ2cool]

This looks less appealing to me than spiderwick chronicles and that does not bode well for its boxoffice prospects.

[Mogwai]

i'm interested in seeing it. mostly for the main character, caveman guy.

[Sebastos]

This looks really good.

[JohnRico]

The main character in this movie reminds me of Ronon from Stargate Atlantis

[Sebastos]

He does look a bit like him...

this is the second time a movie about the past is coming out around this time. Last year was 300 and now 10,000 B.C. I guess Spring break time is as good as any for a history lesson. lol

[dolfan55aj]

I'll probably see it, looks decent. I'm glad they're speaking english too, simplifies things. Looks like it's got action, and it looks pretty epic in terms of fx and cgi, the civilizations look pretty cool overall. Not saying I'll see it the day it's out, but eventually for sure.

[Golgo-13]

Yeah, it looks pretty epic. I just hope it isn't overly Hollywood like 'TROY' was.

If this is a success, i can't wait to see what they do with the 'Clash of the Titans' remake. :up:

Let's face it, the dumb American public isn't ready for anything but the recognisable twang of a US accent.

Even British movies have to have subtitles when released in the US. Such as The Full Monty, for instance.

This is, I assume, why in space series such as Star Trek, all the aliens speak in American English complete with accents.

I think you were expecting a bit much for dumb America to cope with a made-up prehistoric language if they can't even cope with British English.

[Mr. Socko]

Emmerich hasn't made a good movie since ID4 and The Patriot which was 8 years ago. Outside of that, he rather sucks.

Yeah I agree... but seriously... from the trailers it looked like that civilization was more advance than the Egyptians.... that structure rivaled ancient middle eastern and new world civs... so at the very least... get the damn date right... but with this average director what can you expect? Didn't even bother watching Day After Tomorrow... The Patriot was weak as hell... and Ind. Day was fifty years ago it seems.

Piss off, you bloody knobhead. I've been to England and I've been to Italy, you know what I learn that both cultures don't bother with movies outside of there own frickin film industries and US films. Christ don't get all ****in high and mighty because US audiences going to a cheesy popcorn film don't want bother reading subtitles. Don't call my country dumb when English TV is littered with programs 10X more retarded than anything American TV has put out.

P.S. If your from America then trying traveling outside it since you have a fabricated reality of what its really like out there.

I've been to England and I've been to Italy, you know what I learn that both cultures don't bother with movies outside of there own frickin film industries and US films. Christ don't get all ****in high and mighty because US audiences going to a cheesy popcorn film don't want bother reading subtitles. Don't call my country dumb when English TV is littered with programs 10X more retarded than anything American TV has put out.

P.S. If your from America then trying traveling outside it since you have a fabricated reality of what its really like out there.

And you realize this is the country that made Meet the Spartans nuber 1 at the box office that weekend right? Sorry but the loud mouth isn't helping your case... the numbers speak for themselves... the kids these days are dumbasses in America... we simply go see the movies give us the d*** raising experiences... and I probably happen to be one of them.:csad: ... although I don't see crap films in cinemaplexes anymore with the internet and all...

There's nothing worst than elitists who don't really place things in context at all. First off let's review the weekend that Meet the Spartans came out and how many theaters it was released in. It was released to a HIGH SATURATION theater count of 2,600 theaters. Its two other competitor that weekend was Rambo and Untraceable. Rambo appeals to a very distinct demographic of males and older gentleman so right off the bat the demographics are quite different. Untraceable had a rather scant marketing campaign and again wasn't really that appealing to the general demographic that goes the movies on the weekends which are teenagers. Its only real competition from the previous week was 27 Dresses and Cloverfield. Cloverfield weak WOM hurt that as well as the fact that 27 Dresses is such an obvious generic chick flick. So surveying the field the only new straight comedy in weeks comes out with a HUGE marketing campaign that appeals to Teenager is number 1, BIG SURPRISE.

What people also fail to realize is that weekend was down 11% the previous weekend had made 40-50 MIL MORE meaning theater attendance was down. Then if you follow the next weekend Meet the Spartans dropped 60%, BIG SURPRISE. So your argument had you placed in in perspective means really nothing and is no where near a strong incitement on the American people's intelligence.

Yeah I agree... but seriously... from the trailers it looked like that civilization was more advance than the Egyptians.... that structure rivaled ancient middle eastern and new world civs... so at the very least... get the damn date right... but with this average director what can you expect? Didn't even bother watching Day After Tomorrow... The Patriot was weak as hell... and Ind. Day was fifty years ago it seems.

Well, stylised reworkings of historical periods and events with huge inaccuracies have been happening for ever. Most recently in '300' and Beowulf. And of course One Million Years BC, which sounds almost like the inspiration for this movie, was completely inaccurate. Didn't stop it being a Harryhausen classic of its time though and still great to watch!

I want to see this movie for sure, but it's mainly for the creatures, visuals, and effects rather than for prehistoric character drama. Yes, i know that's shallow and I should go away and whip myself, but as long as the story isn't ridiculous, I'm happy to accept the fantasy/inaccuracy element.

But not in all instances. I felt Beowulf suffered from being an over-stylised fantasy retelling; an attempt to cash in on 300 that failed, largely because Neil Gaiman can't write likable characters.

I was interested in this initially, but then I found out who the director was.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying something that suppose to be entertaining.

Dear me, someone does get easily riled.

America does come across as pretty dumb at times. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone had to be retitled 'Sorcerer's Stone' because Americans kept wanting to know who the philosopher was. :hehe:

For the record, I'm English and have often been to the US and have many friends there.

The fact remains that subtitled movies put people off, unfortunately; and that the American public seems unable to cope with anything but American English with accents. Some alien races with alien languages would be excellent in Star Trek but 50 years on, I'm still waiting. American movies do quite well beyond the States, even though Hollywood's film output is less than a single per cent of the world's films. But films from other countries don't do well in America and films not set in a major American city (Stardust, Golden Compass, V for Vendetta) don't tend to do well in the US either. The Cloverfield creature just happened to attack NY and bite the head off Ms Liberty, the last man on earth happened to be in New York too (unlikely though that scenario is) in I Am Legend. At least the Fantastic Four ended up in London, and Jumper's teleportations did cover more of the world than is usual in these movies! :woot:

We can go through examples and the corresponding numbers, statistics, dempgraphics, competition, etc all day... the list never ends... but that's not the issue here... we also shouldn't be discussing American intelligence based on their tastes in films... but I only brought that up because I think there is something telling about that when you look at the films these days... the point I was making in the first place... its why can't films go back to the seriousness and the sincerity that historical set pieces once were... instead we get completely historically inaccurate films like 300 (although that was Miller's book so I give it a pass), a plethera of cheap horrors... ridiculous spoof films... when is enough enough? Yet people continue to go... when are we going to raise our standards? So speaking for me personally... I am not going to lower my standards to what I assume is an orignal screenplay with a suspect director as of late on what is a completely inaccurate portrayal of the time back then... people might want to dish out the eight bucks for the mamouths and sabertooths... but the CGI is not much better than what you see on Discovery if you ask me... I thought Mel gave us something unique with Apocalypto... it just wasn't executed right... but studios know anyway that films like that won't make jack ***** at the box office... but frankly... I personally am tired of the CGI fests and the animals alone won't dupe me into buying a ticket for 10,000 BC.
