"300" producers on Julius Caesar Trilogy
Sun, May 16, 2010 
Producers Gianni Nunnari and Mark Canton, whose last toga pic was 300, will package and produce Exclusive Media Group’s new historical drama based on the early life of Julius Caesar.
The movie hopes to be the first in a trilogy based on Conn Iggulden’s bestselling Emperor book series. William Broyles (Flags of Our Fathers) has written the script. Nunnari and Canton are currently producing another historical epic, The Immortals, for Relativity Media and Universal.
Exclusive hopes to start filming within the next few months, although no director is yet attached.
If your not familiar Caesar was a Roman military and political leader. He played a critical role in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. In 44 BC he was assassinated by his own people, they surrounded him outside The Theatre of Pompey, where it's said over 60 men helped in his murder, stabbing him as many as 23 times.
As long as they don't go with a green screen for the entire movie, like they did with 300, I think this could be a very cool trilogy. This is the kind of project Ridley Scott should be attached to, no more Robin Hood in re-written history.
