[edit] Plot
As a member of a primitive tribe during the dawn of man, 21-year-old mammoth hunter D'Leh (Steven Strait) travels through unknown lands on a quest to rescue his people from extinction.[1] D'Leh, leading an army, uncovers a lost civilization in pursuit of a warlord who kidnapped his love, Evolet (Camilla Belle). D'Leh and his army encounters saber-toothed cats and other prehistoric predators in the journey to save his tribe.[2]
[edit] Production
Director Roland Emmerich and composer Harald Kloser originally penned a script for 10,000 BC. When the project received the greenlight from Columbia Pictures, screenwriter John Orloff began work on a new draft of the original script. Emmerich opened casting sessions in late October 2005.[3] Columbia Pictures, under Sony Pictures Entertainment, dropped the project due to a busy release calendar, and Warner Bros. picked up the project in Sony's vacancy.[4] In February 2006, Camilla Belle and Steven Strait were announced to star in the film, with Strait as the mammoth hunter and Belle as his love. The script went through a second revision with Matthew Sand and a final revision with Robert Rodat. Production began in spring 2006 in South Africa and Namibia.[1] Location filming has also taken place in New Zealand.[2]
Originally slated for July 27, 2007, the release date for 10,000 BC was pushed back to December 14, 2007.[5] The film's release was postponed a second time to March 7, 2008.[6]
