I was just chatting with my office mates this lunch about how the 3rd installment of The Mummy sucks. It is totally a waste of money and doesn't deserves a theatrical release.

Then here comes this news about the prequel of the movie The Scorpion King.

The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior (previously known as The Scorpion King: Rise of the Akkadian) is a direct-to-video prequel to the 2002 film The Scorpion King. Filming for the movie began on October 1, 2007 in Cape Town, South Africa. The film has a scheduled release date of August 19, 2008 in the United States, and will be released on Blu-ray Disc and DVD. The movie has leaked of July 28, 2008, to the internet. When young Mathayus witnesses his father's death in the hands of the king, his quest for vengeance transforms him into the most feared warrior of the ancient world.

Good move to make it direct to DVD. I may check it out just to know the Scorpion King's background but I will definitely not spend anything for it.
