There are far worse choices than Vin Diesel as Hannibal, particularly in the rampantly politically-correct world we live in today. I recall one in a series of "Black History Month" posters distributed around the army bases, and their Hannibal, though amazingly correct in equipment, looked quite a bit like Idi Amin - unquestionably a sub-Saharan negro.<br>

Back in 2003 Denzel Washington was seriously thinking about casting himself for the part of Hannibal. Thank God he put it out of his mind. He's a fine actor (by US standards ) but otherwise completely inappropriate for the role.<br>

Too bad we can't get someone like Russel Crowe again .<br>
Ideally they should cast a classically trained actor (as opposed to a US actor ) <p><img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y25/RCasti998/CHI-RO2.jpg" style="border:0;"/></p><i></i>

Vin Diesel was also noted for his writing/directorial skills...which is why Steven Spielberg noticed him and cast him in Saving Private Ryan.
If he's that passionate about it, you may want to burn some incense and give it a chance. Besides, it can't get any worse than any other hollywood flick on history. And no...the armour won't be to anyone's standards here, so stop it right now...lol.
