THE GILGAMESH MOVIE now has a web page on the Internet Movie Database. The cast includes Omar Sharif and Peter O'Toole, which is an interesting reunion. Max Ryan plays Gilgamesh. The producers did not take up my suggestion to cast Monica Bellucci as Ishtar, but Leonor Valera played Cleopatra in the miniseries and she looks like she'll do all right. Curiously, the Harlot is not listed in the cast. They could hardly leave her out, could they? Maybe they've given her a name.

It's hard to imagine that Hollywood won't botch this completely, and the early signs are not particularly promising, but I suppose I should try to keep an open mind.

(Heads up, Chuck Jones on the ANE List.)
