I'm trying to figure out what movie this was

[ShadowArmy]

I have this distant memory of seeing a blip of some movie where some aged king had something like a worm infesting his body, and later died. And then a black guy, stricken with grief or some other emotion, started roaring like a lion at his bedside.

 

[Stigmata]

Genre?

My first guess is Dune, which I have read about but never seen nor read.

if you ever consider watching dune Stigmata, watch the sci-fi/syfy mini series versions.

And this wouldn't be stargate SG1 by any chance? the black guy had a gold symbol on his head?

Definitely sounds like the episode where Teal'C is at Bra'Tac's side in the hospital in an alternate reality/dream sequence.

Yeah, exactly.
Wow.
