Will Smith may next morph into a god. "Braveheart" writer Randall Wallace will write "The Last Pharaoh," a Columbia drama crafted as a vehicle for Smith to play Taharqa, the pharaoh who battled Assyrian invaders in ancient Egypt. "Pursuit of Happyness" director Gabriele Muccino will be at the helm.

Release Date: 2009

Does anyone smell an Oscar.

Sounds very interesting. Braveheart won academy Award for best pic in '95. And it's being written by the same guy. Will Smith got an Academy Award and a Golden Globe nomination for best actor for "Pursuit of Happyness" And that movies' director is doing "The Last Pharaoh". Will Smith might try to go for best actor with this one if it's as epic as Braveheart and Gladiator.

I know it's still way, way too early to say but I hope he gets it if he does real well. (Which i'm sure he will.) I'm confident that he'll either win or get nominated, at least. (for a G.G. and/or an A.A.)

Just remember, you read it hear 1st...

I read about it a few days ago actually Wallace wrote the script again though I believe after producers were not 100% happy with the original guy's work?

Be interesting to see what Will Smith can bring to the role, could pull off the look from what I've seen in books.

I have to see still photos and a trailer to see about this.

But FOTN...I thought Will Smith was a ***** nigga? haermm

Sounds interesting, I may see it if it is as epic as Gladiator which you compared it to.

Oh dear.

Why you censored the word "house" instead of the N word will forever be beyond me, but, i do agree with how interesting the film seems, so far. I have high hopes for it. I like bio-epics and anything having to do with ancient Egypt, alot. Moreso from a factual standpoint.

All in all, this movie will be one to watch just as much as its imminent developing story.

This movie seems interesting I might see it

Will this movie have jew slaves? If so, I smell a Russian reversal.

Correction: really it's more of an Egyptian reversal, not Russian.

I think the Jews left Egypt by then and went on their wandering through the desert phase. They'll most likely be other brown and black slaves though, as the Egyptians didn't rely solely on Jew sweat to build their empire.

Damn. So no Jew slave extras casting calls? There goes my chance. I coulda' been a contender.

Don't you have jewgolds? Bribe bribe bribe.

Ancient Rome/Greece/Egypt is a setting I've always loved. I'll see it. Hopefully it'll be more realistic than 300. And I'm still waiting for the Hannibal movie to come out.

Isn't Nigga okay?

So is Will Smith gonna be playing Cleopatra? Cause she is the last pharaoh... They really need to change the title of this film.

She doesn't really count, she was a woman and of Greek descent.

True, but still a title change would be good.

300 wasn't meant to be historical. I don't get why people still have a gripe with it.


As long as this movie doesn't take the Braveheart route and shit on its premise, it should be pretty good.

Braveheart was shit, so was The Pursuit Of Happyness.

I respect your opinion but wow both of them movies were great.
If you don't mind me asking what didn't you like about them?

"Braveheart" is excellent. I like "Gladiator", it think it's a great film but "Braveheart" is 5x's better, imo.

And "The pursuit of happyness" was good the only thing about it was that it was such a normal movie, almost most of the time . But more importantly, it delivers it's perseverence message just remarkably. That's why I liked it anyway.

I'm not like that anymore.

I gave up that fight cause it was pointless to continue on.

I found out that racism will forever be with us and that one person can't make a difference.

So I gave up & dropped it.

And moved on.


Anyway W. Smith as "the last Pharaoh" should rule. (no pun intended)

Gut instinct tells me this movie is going to suck, it will probably be cheesy-fun to watch, considering the setting, costumes and mass battle scenarios, but a "great epic", it will not be.

Though I do hope I'm wrong.

My gut instinct has a 98.6% chance of being right, so don't make any bets.

I'll have to at least see a trailer before I make any judgements.

Hm..

Then that would make your chances of "hoping you're wrong" practically nil, with those odd, don't they..

Unless you were just saying you were hoping to be wrong for it's sake or just because.

Either way, you're entitled to how you feel about the movie, no matter the approach.

Practically isn't completely.

I do hope I'm wrong though, as I do like a good battle epic.
