So directly before Gladiator came out, Entertainment Tonight did a piece on it, and after they were done showing short clips of the movie, and talking about how big it could become, they mentioned that (paraphrasing) 'other actors were looking at this film with some serious interest. Among those, Tom Hanks is said to be considering a movie about Julius Caesar'.<br>
<br>
How about that? Tom Hanks as Caesar....I actually think he could pull it off.<br>
<br>
I've always been partial to the Boudica revolt, but from the side of Suetonius Paullinus, cause what he did to survive that day is nothing short of amazing in my book. And just think of the final battle scene! Wow!<br>
<br>
Or, if you are going to take it from the every day 'grunt's' perspective, I would love to see a movie made about the attack on Maiden Castle during the Boudica revolt...from either the roman or the celtic side....film it like Gallipoli...now THERE was an ending to a war movie. One of the best war movies, in my book. *sniff* *sniff*<br>
<br>
Uale!<br>
