New teaser for POMPEII. Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson.
I could say a lot about the CLASH OF THE TITANS remake/SPARTACUS TV show feel to it but I'll just use one word: murky. Kit Harington, from GAME OF THRONES, is the main star.
I hope that this will turn out to be a credible movie with a storyline based on the book. It will be hard pressed to top the 3 previous movies especially the Steve Reeves, TV Mini Series, and the Italian Silent Epic. They were all lavish and fun to watch. Even the Preston Foster version had very good special effects despite a script that was out of whack.
It's only a minute and a half, but this looks to be just awful (that's awful, not aweful). The first half was almighty pretentious. The second looked like a ton of CGI crap.
But, hat tip to RiLaws at Atlantic Wire: "ABS." Jon Snow may know nothing, but ABS!
