Making of the Taj Mahal Movie'

This one is just plane weird, yet cool. I love the concept. Anybody have any solid details on the project?

According to the Indian press, Hollywood is anxiously seeking to make a feature movie on the story of a seventh wonder of the world: The Taj Mahal. Using CGI technology they plan to show how the gigantic wonder was made. The story behind the Taj is a romantic story about a medieval Indian emperor building a mausoleum for his beloved late wife. So most likely the movie's story will be based on this. No casting has been done, nor has a director been chosen, but both Oscar winning directors Richard Attenborough (Hammond in “Jurassic Park” and director of Oscar winning movie “Gandhi”) and Bernardo Bertolucci (director of Oscar winning movie "The Last Emperor", "Last Tango in Paris" and most recently "Stealing Beauty”) are very interested in this project. The movie is planned for a year 2000 release and is expected to cost not less than $80 million, due to the expensive recreation of the Taj Mahal. It's already being tipped for planning to be a big powerful movie in the style of Titanic, possibly Oscar winning.
