This is the story of the young Mathayus, and the events that led to his becoming the Scorpion King. As a carefree boy of 13, Mathayus witnessed his father (a renowned Akkadian mercenary-warrior) being kidnapped and murdered by a jealous rival, Sargon. Sent to train at the illustrious Order of the Black Scorpion academy, Mathayus spends the next seven years learning to become a fighting and killing machine-driven by his vow to one day avenge his father. Convinced his only hope of defeating Sargon and his growing power is by retrieving a charmed sword from the Underworld, Mathayus embarks on a perilous supernatural odyssey--accompanied by the tomboyish wannabe-warrior Layla, the aspiring Greek playwright Ari, a freed Chinese captive Fong, and a few other characters he meets and enlists along the way. At stake is not only the fate of the entire Akkadian nation but of Mathayus's very soul as well.

    Polaris an event in July in Toronto has announced Karen David will be appearing. She plays Layla from the movie. Never hurts to go check it out and she isn't hard on the eyes.

    OMG.The eyes nose and chin, definitely look like Mel Gibson. Blocked of the sides of his face with my fingers, completely blocking out his ears and cheeks, and it looks amazingly like him.

    I know it's a prequel. Didn't say it wasn't. I know The Rock couldn't realistically be in it, or he'd only have a small part if he was. Just saying it doesn't really seem to have much appeal.

    Well duh it's not going to be the rock, it's a Scorpion prequel from what I can read

    I'm with you on this XJ, straight to DVD tells us all we need to know about this. Was disappointed with the first film, looks like they somehow made it worse. Without The Rock, this has absolutely no pulling power.
