Dwayne Johnson as Gilgamesh?

Anyone else read Gilgamesh the King by Silverberg? I feel like it would be great adapted as a 'classic' sci-fi movie -- and can I get a little love for Dwayne Johnson? Given his recent turn in Hercules, I think that with the right approach, he would actually do well as Gilgamesh, a la The Scorpion King.

And then throw in Vin Diesel as Enkidu. Major points also go to the book for a complex female character ('Inanna').
