Teaser for 10,000 B.C. live

When 300 came out, its bizarre mishmash of homoeroticism and blatant homophobia was met with a broad range of reactions, from those who found it needlessly offensive (like we did) to those who found it to be the "gayest thing ever" (like many people who apparently don't know many gay people did).

At the time I wondered, "what would this film have been like in the hands of a gay director?" Well, I think we may have our answer.

Gay director Roland Emmerich (The Day After Tomorrow, Independence Day) has a new film opening next spring called 10,000 B.C. that at first blush bears some superficial similarities to the abs-and-sandals epic (it also coincidentally comes from the same studio). I looks to have lots of scantily-clad action, impressive vistas, and monster-battles ... hopefully without all the gay-baiting that 300 had.

The film stars Steven Strait (best known from teen weeotch flick The Covenant) and Camilla Belle (When a Stranger Calls) and you can check out the action-(and-loincloth)-packed teaser here. Steven, better wrap up that call -- I don't think they've got coverage where you're going.
