Narukami...
Thanks for your insightful reply! That helps a lot. I haven't read Faulkner's book but I will look it up today. Yes, Quintus is quite extraordinary. The three lead characters have an interesting chemistry. Isaac, a Jewish boy from the north of Israel is out finding his place in the world. Quintus lost his wife and son in the Great Fire (under Nero's watch) and sees Isaac as sort of a vicarious carrying-on of his son's spirit. Yarko is Quintus' slave whom he allows a lot of freedom (though unbeknownst to Quintus, Yarko is also a secret Zealot who is plotting to ambush him but because Isaac has joined Quintus' small entourage - he is constantly having to change plans to protect the ten-year-old). And that's just the first 20 minutes of the film.
I'm heading out Monday to begin the process of scripting the film. I have a bit of reading to do yet on the Equestrian Order and browsing through some of the posts on the forum have filled a few of those holes already. It seems I've found a few gems here in stumbling upon this board quite by accident. Lucky for me, I guess.
Thanks again for your help!
