Nefertiti Resurrected

Sometimes a film hinges on just one good idea. Discovery knew this was going to be a massive hit, so commissioned a big budget ending. After her death the tomb raiders purposefully smashed Nefertiti’s mouth so she would never be able to answer the call and be summoned into the afterlife. 

I proposed it would be great if that honour was bestowed back to Nefertiti so I devised a sequence where history was played in reverse, with Nefertiti riding back in time to her final resting place. This involved using a lot of the sets already built, some model work and phenomenal CGI creating the sphinxes and pyramids rising up out of the desert.
