THE LAST TSAR d. Oliver Stone
THE AFGHAN CAMPAIGN: THE OFFICIAL MOTION PICTURE OF THE NOVEL (by Pressfield) d. Ridley Scott (and as long as this is *fantasy* combos, I'd say that Colin Farrell makes a cameo appearance in the key role!
)
Other idea: (because I'm kind of in an idea generating mood)
I read a story recently about how like 90, 000 years ago, the human population dwindled to only a few thousand individuals in Africa, and everyone else in the world died. Every person alive today is directly descended from that group of people.
What caused it? Well, climate change and stuff most probably, but what if... a gigantic meteor hit somewhere in eastern europe or the middle east, and it was composed of a radioactive material from the depths of space, never before seen by modern science. It was radioactive and glowed and stuff, and had other fantastic properties, but also lead to radiation sickness (of an unusual sinister slow acting variety). Early humans would have mistaken it for magic, and because of the glowing and other remarkable properties, along with it's religious significance (which would vary from region to region), people all over the globe quickly began to use the value of the element as the sole organizing principal of their society. It could be used for heating, as a weapon, as a light source, ETC (all the while slowly poisoning health and minds of the people who used it), and it quickly became the most critical resource for the people who coveted it. Wars were fought over element, it was broken down into chunks which traveled far and wide and lead to all sorts of horrible unfathomable stuff, that we never learned about because the facts were lost in the darkness of prehistory. No traces of the material remain because it had a short half life and dissipated after a number of years. The few thousand surviving humans in africa were the last people who managed to escape the influence and wielders of the mystery element.
It would kind of be like a sci fi, cave men lord of the rings
