Just kidding.  Kind of.  We can never forget the potential power of these technically savvy efforts.  Director Roland Emmerich isn't championed for the artistic subtlety of his films by any means, but he sure knows how to blow stuff up good!  Then again, there was no gunpowder in 10,000 B.C., so I guess he'll be sticking to breaking stuff good.

I don't know.

Anyway, Warner Bros. announced the official site for the film yesterday, which has all the expected bells and whistles.  It kind of seems like "Apocalypto" pumped full of Bonds-level steroids, but we'll see.  Emmerich's last effort, "The Day After Tomorrow," didn't exactly win over the critical community (though with a domestic box office tally of over $180 million, the masses sure disagreed).  Films like this don't necessarily need a positive critical reception to come up strong in certain technical categories, however.

"Independence Day" and "The Patriot" managed five nominations between them, Best Sound Mixing being a shared quotient.  And this film sure does promise to be a loud one.  Pic releases March 7.  Emmerich will follow it up with "Fantastic Voyage" in 2010, at which time you might expect a ditto post along these lines.
