Alex Proyas to Direct GODS OF EGYPT

Movie Alex Proyas about 11 years agoby Joey Paur

Dark City director Alex Proyas is in negotiations to direct a new fantasy action film for Summit Entertainment called Gods of Egypt. All we know so far is that the story is set in ancient Egypt, and it follows a mortal, a god and a goddess who team up to fight an evil force that is obviously causing some big problems.

The script was written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, who also worked on the scripts for Dracula: Year Zero and Flash Gordon.

There's not really any other information on the movie, but I'm a fan of Proyas' work, and it sounds like it has potential of being epically cool. The director was previously developing a film called Paradise Lost that is now dead, and was also recently attached to direct a film based on the 1942 novel by Robert Heinlein called The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag.
