THE REAL ROMAN ARMY vrs. the renactments

[Narukami]

"What is the Capitol of Assyria?!"

And we all stared at each other and mouthed "Nineveh!" in amazement. I know one of the answers to the impossible questions in the Holy Grail. I've learned WAY too much.

Well i'm pleased to announce that withing a decade there will be a historically concious and accurate roman movie. Who would the director be you might ask, why me of course. I have always wanted to write/direct a movie and this would be my project. Brainstorming ideas for it now... So there should be one in a decade or so.

I will be waiting with bated breath! Brainstorming Ideas: Base your screenplay on "The Year of the Four Emperors". I would love to see this book be made into a movie!

[Gaius Honorius Felix]

Ok, Lopez i'll have to read it now. Just out of curiosity, who is the author?

Good read & good history!

[Gaius Decius Aquilius]

Damn! You stole my screenplay!!
:wink:

Go ahead and use it... I'll have my lawyers do lunch with your lawyers. I suggest the cast include Hulk Hogan, Michael jackson, and the entire cast of "Friends". Michael Moore should direct.


Gaius H. Felix...

Seriously, Connolly's two books based on Tiberius Claudius Maximus awould adapt well. The Dacian war history, from what we know, is better than fiction anyway.

I would kill my self also! PC envioronmentally concious anti-war pot smoking gay cowboys save village of illegal migrant workers with their band and with their musical message during their protest march...
(Ralph Izard)

YES! HAHAH! I like that!

Don't forget the Big Group Synchronized Dance Scene...With Hobbits for Tarbicus. :wink:

For that big movie, the entire cast of Friends, everyone on American Idol and the Survivor series can be the front line of [Gauls] who get taken out and driven down by the first Pila toss...And it can be the bloodiest scene in the entire movie...ohoh, and Britney Spears and/or Jessica Simpson can play Boudicca!

Nah, just a little bitter

I agree with Aquilius - the T C Maximus series by Connolly would be a good start...The TV show on History Channel a little while back was a good chip off the iceberg with that.

[Gaius Honorius Felix]

Ok, i'll try to write one on T C Maximus first because those books look like a shorter read D

Wow I just took on alot of work.. hock:

[Robert Vermaat]

Ok..

This thread is getting more and more weird.
Is is OT already? Or best put in re-enactment? because it sure is not Military History and Archaeology anymore! :twisted:

[Praefectusclassis]

How about we simply write 'finis' and continue all these spinoffs in their own separate forum?
