Pharaoh Will

If you're like me, you've never seen Will Smith as the ancient-Egyptian-pharaoh type. But all that matters when you have your own production company is that you see yourself that way. Smith is set to star in a new historical epic about Taharqa, a Nubian pharaoh who battled with Assyrian invaders around 677 BC. [EUR]

What I see at minimum is 120 minutes of Will running around with no shirt on, lol and that's enough for me, lol

Man he probably gonna beef up his thighs and what not based on what Ancient Egyptians wear.

I'm just happy a BLACK MAN will play an Egyptian!

Taharqa was Nubian (i believe the first Nubian Pharaoh) so it is fitting that a black man will play the role.

Just waiting for the scientists and historians to attack and criticize about how it's impossible for a black man to be Nubian, lol. Cuz we all know black films have to be historically correct (unlike white films). Let the fact-checking begin.
