Theodosius:
I'm hoping the money went into the re-creation of Rome itself. No-name actors are a good sign. Bankable stars mean that the majority of the budget went to hiring one or two people and then buying a ton of insurance for them, then most of the rest for advertising, leaving a pittance for the actual production. Put that money up on the screen. Too bad about the military costuming, though. They shoulda asked me. Funny, though, how Hollywood keeps ignoring me.
