Hollywood Romans -- New Feature Film on Pompeii
#16
Quote:Quite right about King Arthur, but with regards to Centurion, the main character comments that his father was a gladiator.
Oh good grief, I'd forgotten that. On the other hand, said father doesn't actually appear in the film...

Nathan: With regards to the ship-based rescue, I'm hoping that there's some connection to Pliny the Elder's ill-fated rescue attempt there. Whilst it's true that a lot of people will have fled the city before the eruption, and that a healthy number of the remainder will have been looters, I think it's also true that many regular citizens will have stayed behind as well. So long as it isn't presented as a sudden shocking event I'll be happy.

What's he doing stuck on a ship? And 'racing against time' might be quite tricky with the Romans' hazy ideas of timekeeping...


Equally getting from Pompeii to Rome and back will be a bit tricky too!!
Not least since the Colosseum wasn't completed until the following year...

No, I'm actually attempting to post a regular response but for some reason the system will not allow me to do so.

Clearly I have upset the gods of technology.

Aloha Graham.

Your memory serves you well -- I do not recall gladiators in any of those films.

I know that Professor Goldsworthy was making a humorous aside, but I do think he is on to something, even though the evidence does not seem to support him.

This is somewhat akin to having ninja make an appearance in The Last Samurai even though by that period in time they had ceased to exist. Ninja are a staple of cheap 'chambara' films just as gladiators seem to be endemic to cheap Roman films.

That said, the potential problems with this new Pompeii film, as noted by Robert and Nathan, go far beyond a few gladiators.

Thanks again Graham for your prodigious memory -- always a welcome addition to the conversation.

:wink:
