Can anyone remember the last good caveman film in recent memory? I can't recall but maybe the upcoming French film Ao, the last Neanderthal (original language title: Ao, le dernier Néandertal) will fit the bill. The director Jacques Malaterre is no stranger to the subject of our prehistoric ancestors. With his two acclaimed TV documentary, A Species' Odyssey and Homo Sapiens, under his belt, I doubt we would have to worry about an inaccurate historical depiction a la Roland Emmerich's 10,000 BC.
The epic adventures of Ao (Simon Paul Sutton), the last Neanderthal, and his passionate encounter with the beautiful Aki (Aruna Shields), one of the few Homo-Sapiens to accept and come to love him for what he is. A wonderful hunter, Ao must survive and then battles with terrifying animals of a lost world into savage landscapes. He also protects his family from the most dramatic natural phenomena. But...

Set for release in France on December 16th is a film about the last Neanderthal.. and from the pictures it looks quite interesting. From what I can gather it's currently in production being directed by Jacques Malaterre whose done quite a bit of tv, but no feature films since 1993.
Here's a pretty bad translation of the synopsis:
For more than 300 000 years of Neanderthal man reigns over the planet. There are fewer than 30 000 years, it will disappear for ever ... His blood is flowing there still in our veins? No one knows, except Ao ... The last of the Neanderthals!
Does he get that hot chick we see in one of the stills? I'm betting so. Check em after the break!
Head to Quiet Earth to see the stills.

COLOGNE, Germany -- Red-hot political issues, the problems of cinematic adaptation and the origins of mankind are among the themes of the films nominated for best European documentary, to be presented during the upcoming European Film Awards. This year's nominees include Rithy Panh's S21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine, which looks inside Pol Pot's genocide prisons; The Five Obstructions from Danish directors Jorgen Leth and Lars von Trier, in which Leth adapts his 1967 film The Perfect Human under strict directorial guidelines set out by von Trier; and Jacques Malaterre's A Species' Odyssey, which follows the evolution of man from the first primate to the 21st century.
