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

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.
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 said: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.
The Phantom said: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.
I liked ID4 . Godzilla was crap though, I won't argue there.Kevin Roegele said:Given that Day After was slightly better than Godzilla and ID4, which were complete f****** b*******, this might be, maybe, reasonably watchable, perhaps.
