Roland Emmerich's "King Tut"

[rayzor09]

So I was at IMDb and stumbled upon Roland Emmerich's bio. It turns out in 2005 a movie called "King Tut" is gonna come out. It sounds purdy good.

Plot Outline: The young pharaoh Tutankhamen vis to reclaim his kingdom after the death of his father.

i thought you were posting BS again, lol. but it's true...i've heard of the name "King Tut"...but i'm not sure. its a drama IMDB says. roland emmerich stops making disaster movies?

[rayzor09]

i dunno. he's pretty good with the scifi/disaster genre. I wish he could stick with that. But what else is there to do? He's done hurricanes, tornados, blizzards, floods, aliens, and even giant mutated monsters.

I dunno, I'd like to seem him do an epic. The Patriot sucked.

I think it could be good. And some of Tut's life could be called a disaster, so maybe his genius in one disaster area will carry over to another. ;) But I always like Egypt, so that'd be cool.

Excluding Independence Day, Godzilla and The Day After Tomorrow though, he also did The Patriot and Stargate, so I'd say King Tut likely fits into some of what those latter two films were about.

I wish Emmerich would give it up. His movies stink.

This sounds like it could be a pretty good movie, with all of the egpytian stuff.

Hmm. I have a friend who lives on the History channel. She should be told about this.

Unfortunately as far as Hollywood depictions of history go, she'll probably spend the entire movie pointing out the inaccuracies.

Should be fun!

King Tut was an Egyptian king right?

I think Roland is a good director.He did a great job in The Patriot.

god those people are so annoying! unfortunately i'm one of them so i have little chance of escaping it! this one will be particularly bad since it was discovered a few years back by studying the skeleton of King Tut that he had spinal problems, i can't remember the name of the thing he had, but it basically meant that a bunch of his vertabrae at the top of the spine were fused together, so he couldn't turn his neck. to look to the left or right he had to turn at the waist. so everytime the Tut on screen turns his neck i'll be like "no! he couldn't do that!"
it will be hard, but i'll definitely see it, i love all things ancient Egypt, i even have an Egyptian tattoo...
