Anyone notice the credits on this? Did these two intend to make more movies together?
Loved The 13th Warrior!
Wondering why budget ballooned from $85M to 165M making it a huge box office flop.

I would say they had a big budget because of special effects.

The Eaters, in the book, were giant Neanderthal hybrids. Did they attempt to replicate it?

Then when that didn’t go over well, they re-filmed. The cave scenes were probably the new scenes.
