Roma

Herreduminskapare, nu kommer den stora episka tv-serien om Rom! Detta var väl ofrånkomligt i Gladiators, Alexanders och Trojas kölvatten, men ändå...
Det är ett samarbete mellan HBO och BBC, det ska bli mycket intressant och se vad det blir:

"Rome, the saga of two ordinary Roman soldiers and their families, looks at the birth of the Roman Empire through the eyes of ordinary citizens, as well as famous historical figures such as Julius Caesar, Mark Antony and Rome's first Emperor, Octavian.
It is an intimate drama of love and betrayal, masters and slaves, husbands and wives, and portrays a fascinating and influential period of history - the birth of a modern society as we know it today - and brings the audience vividly into everyday Roman life.
Ciaran Hinds stars as Gaius Julius Caesar, the battle-weary commander of Rome's conquering army in Gaul and Kevin KcKidd is Lucius Vorenus, one of the two foot soldiers around whom the drama unfolds.
Ray Stevenson is the headstrong legionary Titus Pullo, Vorenus's battlefield cohort; James Purefoy is Mark Antony, one of Caesar's powerful political allies; Lindsay Duncan is Servilia, the lover of Caesar and mother of Brutus; Polly Walker is the powerful, manipulative and sexy Atia, Caesar's niece; Kerry Condon is Octavia, the daughter of Atia, who is forced to choose duty over love [Ohhh!] ; Ben Whishaw is Gaius Octavian, who becomes the first Emperor of Rome and Indira Varma is Niobe, Vorenus's stunningly beautiful wife. "

Det kan bli hur bra, eller hur dåligt, som helst. Har förresten hört att från början var Deadwood tänkt att utspela sig i Rom, men då man fick veta att Rome war in the pipeline bytte man till vilda västern.
