Anybody heard about/looking forward this project? Gilgamesh @ IMDB Gilgamesh is an original screenplay inspired by a 5000 year-old Mesopotamian epic etched on clay tablets. Gilgamesh is a poetic legend, meant more for adults than kids, about several themes: the joy of friendship, platonic love between man and man, the ecstasy of sex and love; the grief of loss and death; sensual/erotic love between man and woman; an odyssey in search of the meaning of Life; and man's first quest for Immortality. Moreover, in a fascinating story within a story, it's the first account of The Flood, more than 1000 years before strikingly similar Flood in both the Bible and later in the Quran. (Which Flood discovery by British archeologist George Smith in late 1800 prompted him to hop around naked in exhilaration at the British Museum!) Long ago, in a time of magic, there lived in Mesopotamia a very handsome, young king named Gilgamesh who ruled over Uruk- a magnificent city surrounded with Wide Walls by the river Euphrates. His father's dying words to young Gilgamesh were... Gilgamesh is a poetic legend in a time of magic, taking place more than two thousand years before Judeo-Christian monotheist Puritanism. The epoch precedes and parallels the era of another advanced civilization: Ancient Egypt. The Gilgamesh screenplay contains some innocent erotic scenes celebrating the joy of sex and love, which comprises less than 10% of screen time. Gilgamesh's central premise is love- both platonic love between man and man, and sensual love between man and woman. It is about love and loss. Gilgamesh mediates on Life, Death and Afterlife: It is man's first recorded quest for Immortality!
