"the story of a common thief and a god on a magical quest set amongst the pyramids and sphinxes."

soooo, documentary? cool.

Man, what the f#ck? He was working on a version of Paradise Lost.. did he abandon the project? I've kind of lost faith in Alex Proyas, though, after Knowing, which sucked hardcore ass.

lmao yeah, knowing, was balls lol

Apparently went over estimated budget & studio dropped the project.

Need more movies set in Egypt that features the gods, Got plenty of movies set around Greek Mythology.

You know the dung beetle was worshipped as a God in Egypt?

I wonder which actor would play him?

It is actually the working title for Black Adam...

Oh, good lord, this is the first I've heard of this. I was wondering what Alex Proyas was up to since his adaptation of Paradise Lost fell through...

It looks kind of horrible and fun at the same time...

"Run?"

"We mortals do it all the time!"

Ha ha ha

At least it looks slightly more entertaining than the Clash/Titans remakes.

Watching that preview, I can only conclude that this is going to tongue-punch unwashed ass, hard, so hard.

I'm just glad they made the gods white.

Wonder if people are going to complain about this movie, Like they did with Exodus: Gods and Kings about not casting Egyptian actors.

Probably as much as people complained about Johnny Storm.

This looks so awful....

Such a shame since I think Proyas is rather talented.

I knew when I saw they cast white people as the leads, that there would be a shit storm...lol Social media....if this movie were made 15 years ago it wouldn't have caused near the uproar.

Pretty much

they made heaps of these types of movies back then.

People always complained about it, you guys probably just didn't care or pay attention.

It's funny that the same people who think this isn't a big deal were butthurt over a black Johnny Storm though.

No shit, I wasn't around in the 1950's

When I saw the trailer I knew it was a mistake to cast white leads. Did I think social media would explode like it did? Not necessarily. But I'm not mad that it did. I do think it should have been more accurately portrayed.

Point is, I am mad about Black Johny Storm because I cared about his character. Egyptian Gods were never something I particularly cared about, so I wasn't as butthurt. That's how it works. If I was Egyptian I'm sure I'd be way more pissed off about it.

Do we really consider being white part of Johnny's character? His character is a douchebag jock who takes full advantage of his powers and celebrity status they bring him. And is an absolute terror to his brother in law's best friend, treating him like less than a person most of the time while playing it off as joking.

He's just white because of the time period he was created in , considering that character type doesn't really have a race. He could be any color and still be Johnny Storm. Now if they turned Black Panther white, that would mess with his character as he's the ruler of a traditional African nation.

You're right, being white has nothing to do with history or personality or pride; or subsequently part of who someone is. I'm sorry, but you saying that you can't turn black people white but can turn white people black is hypocritical. YES, it's unfortunate that there weren't more diverse characters originally, but times are changing. Also, it's a slap in the face to minorities to not be given their OWN characters; instead of just being handed a character that's been around forever. Blue Marvel is a great example. We need more characters like that. Black Panther is a step in the right direction; but we need more characters like that. Not just a lazy re-skin to pander to the ignorant masses.

Some black characters can be made a different race, but usually people have a problem with it because there are so few that it seems like an insult. With other black characters, race is an integral part of their characterization, like Black Panther and Luke Cage.

I never said you can turn a white > black but not vice versa. I said in a specific example, ie Johnny Storm. Turning him black didn't take anything away from him, as being Caucasian has nothing to do with who Johnny Storm is. I then said Black Panther is an example where race is just as important to the character as their personality, as he is an African Prince. You can't just change the prince of a massive tribal African nation to a white guy and call them the same.

It takes NOTHING away from him? He's White. He's been white. His sister is white. His entire histroy as a character is white. Basically you're like, "**** his fans, they won't care, because PC". You're being hypocritical and you don't even realize it. It's pretty funny actually. You're basically saying white people don't have souls, or personality, or any history; but black people do. You realize how dumb that sounds? AND AGAIN, I'm all for racial diversity in comics, and everything else. I'm just IN FAVOR of realistically portraying characters that have 40+ years of history. The Gods of Egypt thing is gaining alot of ground, as was black human torch. There is a reason people are outraged for both. Do the math.

The Egyptians being white is the least of the problems in this abomination of a trailer...

Still alot of this kinda stuff happened back then and no one made a big fuss

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, They got an American to play a Arab.

This was the best movie of 2016. I wonder why it's not nominated.

Racist Academy.
