Revenge, 2 great leaders poised against each other, betrayal by politicol masters and 1 kick ass, bloody climatic battle at the end.
From Cannae to Zama would be a good spread, with a few flashbacks of their youths and education thrown in.
They coould do it and be accurate and still make bagloads of cash.
I guess I need to write a script, get a gun and go visit Jerry Bruckhiemer, and get it done.=)
Dylan Thomas aka Darthicus
Are you joking? :lol:
Two Hannibal hollywood films are currently under developement. One starring Vin Diesel as Hannibal, the other with Denzel Washington as Hannibal. Both are also directing their movie I believe.
I did not know that, I hope that they do not muck it up, I hope there is a major role for Scipio.
I am so tired of Generals in History being celebrated and those that crushed them being overlooked. (Napoleon and Wellington, Rommel and Montgomery and Patton.)
I have more faith in Washington's sense of art than Deisal's, but you never know.
