Camilla Belle, Steven Strait, and director Roland Emmerich came down for Saturday’s 10,000 BC WonderCon panel to discuss the movie and offer up an extended trailer for the film.
Extended Trailer – This extension of the regular trailer shows a little more of the story and what other type of action set pieces audiences can expect. It starts with a voiceover narration talking about how the cavemen hunted mammoths, the mightiest of beasts. Cut to a few scenes later, bad guys invade and take a dirtied up version of Camilla Belle with dreadlocks, while the protagonist (Steven Strait) watches and later goes to save her. Then there’s a quick-cut collection of scenes featuring saber-toothed tigers, giant birds, and wholly mammoths. Looks pretty stupid, but maybe it can work in a B-movie sort of way.
10,000 BC looks dumb, no doubt, but as with any Roland Emmerich production, what matters most is how fun it is. From what I’ve seen though, there seems to be way too much fake-looking CGI balancing against the aggressive stupidity of the story, so my hopes remain low for now.
