I'm looking forward to this. :) Most of us need more exotic adventures, even if they're only on screen.
ReplyDeleteyes, yes, especially since we can't really visit Iran, Iraq, Arabia as tourists, although I was thinking of visiting Morocco and Dubai last year :)
ReplyDeleteAnything Anthony Hopkins is attached to will definitely peak my interest, but it's been a few years since his last real hit film.
ReplyDeletehis downfall started with the doomed "Alexander", a movie which pretty much destroyed a lot of careers.
ReplyDeleteThese movies always travel in pairs...
ReplyDeletewhen it comes to epics and fantasy movies, I wish they would travel in dozens :)
ReplyDeleteHopkins is a great actor but I'm not sure with the director who did the lame "Scorpion King".
ReplyDeleteoh, I kinda liked SCORPION KING :) it was wonderfully trashy :)
