Gilgamesh: Epic Games’ Epic MegaGrants Program Supporting Upcoming Animated Feature
Epic Games’ ongoing Epic MegaGrants program is supporting the development of an animated feature titled
Gilgamesh, based on the hero from ancient Mesopotamian mythology, according to Deadline.
Gilgamesh will utilize Epic Game’s Unreal Engine technology.
The story follows the exploits and adventures of the king-turned-deity Gilgamesh who was immortalized in the epic poem that is “said to have influenced Homer’s
Odyssey and
Iliad.” The movie will explore the demigod’s quest for immortality and his rivalry then friendship with “wild man” Enkidu.

The film, a collaboration between Latin American animation studio Hook Up and Argentinia s DuermeVela and FilmSharks, will focus on the tales and tribulations of Gilgamesh, using Epic’s Unreal Engine technology.
Historians believe the hero to have mostly likely been a king of Uruk, an ancient Sumerian city located in modern-day Iraq. He is most famously known as the namesake of the third millennium BC Mesopotamian poem – the earliest known great work of literature – about man s struggle for immortality.
The poem is said to have influenced Homer’s epics
Odyssey and
Iliad.
The animated adaption, directed by Argentinian filmmaker Tomas Lipgot, will be focused around Gilgamesh’s quest as well as his relationship with friend and comrade Enkidu.
