It's been a while since the first post, and that Yahoo link is dead. Here's a link to the Still no actors mentioned yet.

Oh, here's a hilarious quote from the SF Examiner, from a January article:
(Trust or don't trust, it's from San Francisco!)

"Hordes of people from all over the world are expected to descend on Santa Maria this week to show support for Michael Jackson as he's arraigned on child molestation charges. ... Did you know that Jackson is obsessed with King Tut, the Egyptian boy king? ... When I was in Hollywood the other day, I learned that Jackson had insisted on a private meeting with director Roland Emmerich, who once expressed an interest in portraying the life of King Tutankhamun on the screen. "I'll do anything to play King Tut," Jackson reportedly told Emmerich. Sensing the director's shock at how his face had been ravaged by plastic surgeries, he added, "I'll even wear appliances." Jackson was apparently referring to where his nose had once been. Tut, tut. ... Jackson also said he's getting acting lessons from his friends, Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando ... Hooray for Hollywood. ... "

Aye Carumba. And does he know Marlon Brando is dead?

if MJ plays King Tut, I not only will scream and yell at the top of my lungs "WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?!" But I will also NEVER see the movie and strap myself to a wall if anyone tries to make me see it.

I'm sure if Jackson was needed in the movie he could have a surgery to meet the the part. Just playing I am sure that would not happen.Or would it!!
