Roman Polanski, the Academy Award winning director of "The Pianist" and the masterpiece "Chinatown", will direct a film that depicts the destruction of the city of Pompeii. The city was destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D.The story is told following the character Marcus Attilius who is an engineer working to repair the aqueduct that brings water to the people who live on the Bay of Naples. Attilius must eventually fight both the corrupt Roman rulers of Pompeii and the time bomb of nature.
Oh this sounds good! Polanski is an amazing filmmaker. He's had his downs, but his masterpieces far outweigh them. "Pompeii" seems like an excellent film for him to do. Pre-Production begins this summer.
