"Akkadian" follows the events before "Scorpion," the 2002 summer hit that starred Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Mathayus, the fearsome warrior king of an ancient desert empire. The new production tells the story of young Mathayus' rise to become the Scorpion King. Michael Copon (the N's "Beyond the Break") stars as the young Mathayus. The film also features Simon Quarterman, Karen David, Ralf Moeller and Ultimate Fighting Championship king Randy Couture.
