Talk:Pompeii (film)

Speedy delete
I upgraded it to a standard "future film" stub. SkierRMH 21:14, 17 June 2007 (UTC)


 * The film has too little content at the present to warrant its own article, since the project could easily be stalled without a concrete cast. Until there is information available on actual production, it's been merged to the article of the source material.  Due to the nature of the industry, such things may not take place right away (see my subpage for announced projects dating back to the 1990s that still haven't taken off).  Also, IMDb is completely unreliable for future film news.  The release year is only an unattributable estimate by them, and it gets worse from there.  (IMDb is only attributable for its cast list after a film's release because it's an electronic copy of the ending credits.  The rest of the information is basically user-submitted and frowned upon by film editors.) —Erik (talk • contrib) - 23:43, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

What "twin lovers"?
The last paragraph mentions inspiration from the "twin lovers" plaster casts. A google search for pompeii/twin-lovers yielded no meaningful results. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.172.110.244 (talk) 10:49, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Polanski
In 2007 Roman Polanski was initially set to direct a Pompeii, based on a script by Robert Harris. http://variety.com/2007/film/news/polanski-propels-pompeii-1117958517/

But was it related to this production or a separate film entirely? Wasn't sure if it was directly related so didn't add it to the article. -- 109.77.148.112 (talk) 14:06, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Pompeii (2014 film) → Pompeii (film) – There are no other films named "Pompeii". 75.142.30.100 (talk) 01:03, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Support the onky other possible entry is a cancelled film adaptation of a book of the same name which was cancelled due to a threat of an actors strike. That can easily be delt with using a hatnote Pompeii (novel).--67.70.140.89 (talk) 03:41, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Pompeii: The Last Day was a telefilm -- 65.94.77.36 (talk) 04:26, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

tsunami
In the movie, the tsunami is massive, yet "After still a third "the sea seemed to roll back upon itself, and to be driven from its banks", which is evidence for a tsunami. There is, however, no evidence of extensive damage from wave action" according to the wikipedia article on the eruption.211.225.33.104 (talk) 04:28, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
