Columbia Pictures has hired Roland Emmerich to direct 10,000 B.C. The prehistoric epic centers on tribal life at the dawn of modern man.

10,000 centers on a young mammoth hunter who embarks on a journey through uncharted territory to secure the future of his dying tribe. In the process, he saves the one he loves.

John Orloff is writing a new draft of the script, which is based on an idea that Emmerich came up with ten years ago. Emmerich and Harald Kloser wrote the original draft.

Centropolis Entertainment's Roland Emmerich & Michael Wimer will produce the film. Harald Kloser and Tom Karnowski will executive produce.
