More stuff on this forthcoming Roman movie starring Colin Firth. IMDB details here
It seems that moviemakers are still flocking back to Rome - this century has seen a veritable Roman revival thanks to the success of Gladiator. I first heard of Gladiator when they were casting the extras - some of my reenactment chums were in it but I turned it down - my initial reaction was 'who was Russel Crowe? The only person I'd heard of in it was Oliver Reed so I thought it was some low budget romp! I actually don't like the movie - I think the best Roman movie has to be Spartacus - Kubrick's slave army is fantastic - they look like shepherds and so on.
