  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Pompeii trailer..Shot on EPIC

Very cool, was wondering when some one would jump on this story, even so it looks like they chose to not go by History, since the Eruption came in the dead of night catching all at sleep, and instead chose to mix in a Spartacus like fighting sequences, which did not happen during the eruptions of course.

But I look forward to see this nonetheless... I at the end could care less of history, sorry, and much prefer original interpretations of a visionary Writer & Director.
 
Ketch...

There was some really great research done that outlined the destruction of the area...Evidently the process started around 1pm and lasted 3 days...

What is even crazier is the note about the heat levels across the region...+250 Celsius

Yes I know well how all plaid out, it was the paper I presented during my last year of school as I was shocked after visiting the site and seen al the dead bodies which were found in their sleeping positions in bed, many of which tough to have suffocated during sleep and or burned just about in seconds do to the extreme temperatures... SO sad...


As I said, some of the fighting I se in the trailer did no tactually happen during the main eruption that caused the death of Pompeii, just saying not sure why they chose to represent such a moment of tragedy in history with yet again an other fighting movie...

Nonetheless look forward to see it, hoping that there will be more a lot more to it and that the drama of the tragedy leaved is also well represented in the story.
 
Looks interesting, but I'm in complete agreement with Ketch on this. I realize the movie-going masses don't have the first clue about what really happened at Pompeii, let alone a few of the facts that would make this movie's synopsis completely implausible. But hey, this is Hollywood and it's about fantasy. Anyway, there is so much wrong with the trailer that I'm just not going to get into it. I might put it in my Netflix queue, but this is registering at about a 0.15 out of 100 on my Need-To-See-It-O-Meter.
 
"Hollywood making a movie about Pompeii"

That sounds more awesome on paper.

The trailer was a bit of a let down.
