[MaximiIian]

Y'know, I've always wanted someone to make a really good Epic based off the Battle of Verdun, or Tannenberg. Or Grunwald. Or Lake Peipus. It's a shame they don't make epics out of semi-obscure battles and wars.

[Rapax]

Or Lake Peipus.

The only one out there about it is "Alexander Nevsky" and it's unlikely they're gonna make any other.

there is all quite on teh western front that could have been anywhere on the western front including verdun. Tannenburg ( im guessing the ww1 battle not the roman one) would be a cool plot for a movie. It would have all of the good parts of a movie/book about ww1 without those wating in the trench scene

personally ide like to see a eaither a good roman movie ( about someone like ceasar, scipio, krass even) or a good crusades movie.

im a little rusty on my russian histroy ( living in america for 10 years will do that to you) but wasent ALexander Nevsky the Russian prince who was finaly able to break from the mongols and was the first to establish himself as a king of Moscow?

[Destraex]

cool, u ever heard of "jarhead"

or that tom cruise flick coming about the american BOB fighter pilot

[Marcus Scaurus]

Or Teutoberg Wald. I'd rather see a movie on the Roman defeat in Germany than another movie on Gladiators. With Varus seeing his men getting whiped out, the mystical and scary atmosphere in the forrests, the warcries of the Germans, the last stand, the suicide of Varus, Augustus saying 'Varus, give me back my legions!'

[Ecclesiastes]

I would rather have a movie about the battle at thermopylae above everything!! :wink:

[Maron]

I would rather have a movie about the battle at thermopylae above everything!! :wink:

i Completely agree but i would rather it be based on "Gates of Fire" than the crappy "300" graphic novel

HAHAHA oh dear, the innocence of 2005

[Freddie]

There is already a movie called the 300 which is about that very battle and in the list above a remake is being done, staring Gerard Butler who has also played other historical figures such as Atilia the Hun.

Personal I want to see the Last legion and 300. I wouldn't mind a remake Waterloo as well.

[Seleukos]

This is worth a sticky.

I still think they should make a movie on the 7 week long seige of Constantinople. That seige was a true epic.

[Internazionale]

What? 7 weeks, I don't think people want to view a monster cannon bombard the walls of constantinopel all the time...

The best people to star in "Viking" themed movies must be the Icelandics, they speak almost like the vikings did back then! Just a little adjustment

I have heard of this movie 300 and that it is really crappy. I like the idea of a movie based on the novel Gates of fire, I that book!!

Sorry, I've just seen they are going to do a remake of 300, would love to see that :original:

You mean the Battle of Teutoberg Forest?

[OG Grenadier]

Boudicca , the epic about the Celtic Queen and her 100,000 strong army that oh so nearly threw the Romans back into sea in 55BC (Invasion of Britain). Randall Wallace and Mel Gibson are apparently teaming up again for yet another sword and gorefest. Details being thrashed out this year and shooting to begin next year I heard.

Boudicaa played by Lucy Lawless anyone?

[matthew the black prince]

geat,it has to be one of the two battles where the britons got their asses kicked,at least at other battles they put up a fight held the romans for a while(medway,monsgraupius)

[ChiTuMa]

Boudicaa played by Lucy Lawless anyone?

Hells yes! She would be just the right age and build for that too. Just needs to do something about getting her hair red.

Wasn't there a Polish movie about Tannenberg called Krzyzacy? Dammit why can't we ever get a pro-Teutonic Knights movie? They were, after all, responsible for the conquest of what would become the great Nation of Prussia. They fought long and hard in the Northern Crusades, almost invariably outnumbered by savage Lithuanians and their allies. There really should be a movie......but an updated Alexander Nevsky would be just as nice I think, especially if it showed both sides equally.

[Legio XX Valeria Victrix]

I don't know what anyone else thinks, but the Vin Diesel Hannibal movie looks like it has all the makings of a bomb. I mean, Vin freaking Diesel. I don't think I could think of any actor I would want less to make a movie about Hannibal. First off, he doesn't strike me as having the intellectual capacity for real research. The chief writer worked on King Arthur and Gladiator, not exactly the most historically accurate movies...

I'm already picturing napalm elephants, Roman legionaries straight out of the 2nd Century AD, Stephen Seagal as Scipio Africanus, Vin slicing Romans in half with a little short sword....oh the horror.

Dude, it's IMDB.

IMDB.

The same guys who said 50 cent would be playing Epona in Twilight princess and Eminem playing Mr Coates in Advent Children.

But anyway, Vin Diesel is awesome. I think if it was Vin Diesel back in 216 bc he could kick Roman ass all by himself. He is that hard.
