This allows Tut's filmmakers (director David Von Ancken, writers Michael Vickerman, Peter Paige and Bradley Bredeweg) to take poetic license and produce a colorful epic filled with sex, bare-butt nudity and bloody battles.There's also plenty of hand-wringing and eye-widening in performances from Siddig and Kingsley.įor its few flaws – such as an occasionally campy script – Tut is still wildly entertaining, a good, fun watch that makes you want to read more about the impact of the young Egyptian king, his country and its times. The facts of how the 18th dynasty pharaoh lived and died are fuzzy as scientists and historians still debate the case of Tutankhamun beyond the legendary discovery of his tomb and its artifacts. Luckily, Tut has allies too: the loyal solider Lagus (Iddo Goldberg) and his half-Mitanni lover Suhad (Kylie Bunbury). Throughout the series, scheming, lust for power and martial ambitions are tempered by Tut's wish to be loved by his subjects, his own desires for domination, and a cool-headed approach to negotiating with enemies such as the formidable Mitanni tribe. The list of those who wish unseat King Tut include Kingsley's Ay (Tut's not-so-loyal longtime vizier), Tut’s sister/wife Ankhe (Sibylla Deen), High Priest Amun (Alexander Siddig) and towering General Horemheb (Nonso Anozie). Tut deals with warring factions, false prophets, political back-stabbers and their lust for control of Egypt. second unit camera operator (3 episodes, 2015) Robert McGowan. Tut is like an old fashioned 'sword-and-sandals' serial, but with the gory glory of Game of Thrones (even Tut's introductory music recalls Thrones') and details the king's rise to fame and work toward freeing Egypt from the self-ordained powers of its control-hungry high priests. first assistant camera: 'a' camera, second unit / first assistant camera: 'd' camera / key first assistant account: second unit (3 episodes, 2015) J.
