I always wanted to see an "epic" style movie about ancient Egypt. sort of like braveheart , gladiator or Alexander.

I also always wonedered why Hollywood always fails at making a film about those times in human history. like that crap 10000b.c.

Im wondering why this type of movie isn't being made in modern times. I don't think anything since the 60s joint "Cleopatra" has garnered any critical acclaim or box office success tackling the era.

i always thought how cool it would be to see a movie surrounding the times and location of the pyramids of giza and the sphinx on a big budget scale. big name actors like denzel, halle berry, or angela basset , jada pinkett playing the pharoahs and queens and shyt.

i just read that Angelina jolie has been trying to do Cleopatra for years but directors keep refusing the project. was Cleopatra a white woman?

anyway my question is why hasn't speilberg or oliver stone, or oprah or any deep pocket celeb tried to make a new epic ancient Egypt film. would it be too complicated to make? would anybody care to see it? (other than me)


thoughts?

nah bruh they would probably be "nice" and have arabs pretending to be black....since we are a post racist society now :mjpls:

Ya see. Everybody would HAVE TO agree to that being at least fair. Considering the geographical facts. But if that's the case, how come its TOTALLY accepted for a movie about Jesus to be starring a cac as Jesus? C'mon now

white missionaries still go around introducing white Jesus to dark people all over the world. especially poor dark people.

give them water and food and explain that it was white Jesus who made it possible for them to bring water and food to poor people and they'll be loyal to Jesus forever.
