Uncle El and Uncle Mel teaming up for something like this would be absolutely fucking amazing. We could actually get Sydney Sweeney as Helen.

Don't think Sweeney was born from a swan egg. Gotta get a genuine bird in there for accurate casting.
Also, kilts or pictish face-paint for the Aussie-Braveheart were just as off historically as the hoplite armour in the Odyssey, no?

That's not 100m
Maybe 20 years ago.
Not even. That's 30 years ago.
Once Elon realizes it's closer to 300m before cost overruns he'll bow out.

In the historical text by Michael Crichton, there was a group ancient African in the Congo that built an ancient city and tamed a race of white gorillas that used paddles to wallop the heads of their enemies. They had built their empire on the wealth of their vast diamond mines.
There was also a gorilla that spoke sign language that had a larger vocabulary than most magicians nowadays, and was much more polite.

It's impressive how many huge bands never had a number one song on billboard.

I'm not sure Gibson has it in him anymore. Apocalypto is a fucking masterpiece but it was 20 years ago.
Hacksaw I thought was good but nowhere near peak Gibson. We'll have to see how this Passion sequel goes to really get a feel for where his directing is at in 2026.

How much of hollywood is just grift? Especially when you consider DC is hollywood for ugly people, and we know DC is a total grift machine.

Isn't Waterworld's budget massively inflated by the fact the whole set got destroyed multiple times? Still, the point stand. A big blockbuster for 100 millions is probably not a thing. Project Hail Mary is at 200, Galadiator 2 (to use a similar film) a bit more.

Yea, I don't see Gibson going the cheap route with something like that. Love to see it happen.

Except they are talking about Apocalypto and a lesser extent The Passion of the Christ. You know movies that had actual attempts at being faithful to the source material with casting and dialog.

in hindsight, calling the faction, "the blacks" and they actually have blacks on the team, makes for an easy narrative, considering all the other targs look like ugly inbreds, who is whom?
