What was the pitch meeting for this like?

"It's Gladiator meets Volcano from the director of AvP!"

Oh Hollywood...

Apparently Kiefer Sutherland is gonna be in it.

Anyone wanna lay odds on him screaming "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" and/or "DAMN IT!!!!!!" at least once?

Soooo... a 1st Century disaster film?

Love it! :lol


Honestly, I'd actually watch this without any cynicism just to see their interpretation of what happened that day.

But... I'd wait until it was out on bluray.

I don't have sound at the moment, but it looks like someone decided to remake Titanic, but replace the lower class passengers with Gladiators and a sinking ship with a Volcano

I guarantee you will during him ruining metal gear solid 5. Wasn't this already a movie years and years ago? I remember watching it as a kid, it had lava flows and i think a love story.

The Last Days of Pompeii (1959) - IMDb

It looks to be the same story, but with different character names. Basically a remake, but just different enough to not be called a remake.

It looked alright until the eruption, the only way for the movie to end is for everyone to die. The end will have the "hero" and his lady sailing into the sunset, watching the city fall (after barely outrunning an explosion on horseback...of course )

And here I thought Dante's Peak was bad with the pickup outrunning the pyroclastic flow (y'know, the thing that moves at hurricane wind speeds)...

Near the end, they'll have the Enterprise time travel back and drop Spock in to the volcano to stop the eruption, forever changing future history.

When the Volcano was done, did he do a slo-mo walk with his head slightly down, and his shoulders hunched with it behind him?

I enjoyed it. Sure it's no "Gladiator", and it'll never win any Oscars for the story buts its an entertaining way to spend a couple of hours and if you've ever visited the actual ruins or climbed to the summit of Vesuvius it'll give you a real insight into what actually happened to those places on that day.
