Julius Caesar Flick in the Works?

The initial couple of ‘graphs from a movie-industry blog (and there are no further details after these few words):

Gianni Nunnari and Mark Canton are teaming up with Exclusive Media Group on a potential franchise based on the life of Julius Caesar.

The partners are eyeing a trilogy of films adapted from Conn Iggulden’s four-book The Emperor Series. Exclusive Media Group co-chairman Nigel Sinclair said the company might finance the first project in a split-rights deal with a US studio.

  1. Iggulden’s work covers the lifespan of Caesar, so I wonder if they’ll switch protagonists during the movie or whether they’ll age the actor. Richard Burton wasn’t a bad Caesar when he played him in Cleopatra… I hope they get somebody like him.
