For some time now they've been looking for local extras in Kamloops, BC, Canada, men who look "Egyptian". That term by itself has caught my attention, and, being wired this way, here's what I think: either there are more than a few Egyptian exhibits at the museum in question, or we actually jump through a painting portal (this is canon, established by Battle of the Smithsonian) into ancient Egypt, and so we need "a cast of thousands". That sets me fired about the possibilities for this movie in exploring the tablet's origins and powers, and the world of Kahmunrah and Ahkmenrah, adding depth to the story of these two characters (the only strictly fictional characters with any back story to speak of) and possibly to the characters themselves.
This is, of course, on top of the Egyptian Pharaoh, Shepseheret, and, of course, the Brothers Egypt and the tablet which has kickstarted the entire plot in the first place and which needs desperately to be elaborated on. This promises a rich world with something we can use and work with and understand and synthesize. This promises a glimpse into the past which in turn has the promise of revealing more about the Brothers Egypt and the tablet. This is, in a word, beautiful.
