Quote:You probably know more about the current state of Hollywood screenwriting than most here, David! We might be better coming up with suitable directors. Kubrick would have been the ideal candidate - not only for Spartacus, but for proving his historical-accuracy abilities in Barry Lyndon. John Boorman would perhaps make a good job of it, although he did employ Valerio Manfredi (author of the Last Legion etc) as one of the screenwriters for his proposed Hadrian, so perhaps his judgement isn't so great in these matters... (I heard rumours that Hadrian had started shooting in Morocco last year, btw, with Daniel Craig in the lead role (!) Any news on this?)I think this project was abandoned. The imdb-page for it was already deleted months ago.
