I hope they don't plan on presenting Augustus as a villain, Cause that guy was frigging awesome.
It's Rome. There has to be. It's a law of media.Earnest Cavalli said:Plus, there would probably be nudity. That always helps.
You have once again delighted me Nex. Keep up the good work, amigo.Earnest Cavalli said:Thus, feel free to speculate wildly in the comments. I've got my fingers crossed for Paul Verhoeven [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000682/], mostly because I think this would make a wonderful satirical allegory for the horrors of Manifest Destiny vis a vis their visitation upon the cultural forebears of the concept by their sociopolitical offspring.

One can assume from the movie's title that this is not going to be a gritty and serious film no? I'd expect not anyhow.Mcoffey said:This sounds so incredibly terribad. Are they at least making it a tongue-in-cheek comedy? Because if not this sounds like something that would fit in with the lower levels of Sci-Fi Original Movies.
That is a very good idea. Think of all the lawsuits that come up against Studios and Production companies that come up from some wag who said, 'That movie was my idea, I demand monies!'binnsyboy said:See, this is why I don't discuss my book ideas on the internet. They're kind of awesome...samsonguy920 said:There is always the chance WB bought the rights to lock it up. Studios have been known to do that. In a way, I kinda hope so.
Probably too late for that.BgRdMchne said:I hope the dude who wrote this has an agent so he doesn't get screwed over by WB.

They're not even that great! In any other country the Marines are the Commandos, but in the US they're just a slightly better presented version of the US army. At could at least use the commando equivalent and use the US Rangers!
Or, here's an idea, why not use a military other than America's? I honestly stopped caring about movies where America saves the day long ago.
So apparently I'm not allowed to announce any distaste about the over-use of one countries military in media?IceStar100 said:DID SOMEONE WANT A LARGER ORDER OF BUTTHURT?Mantonio said:The thing that bugs me most about this (and there are many, many things that bug me about this) is it being about the US Marines.

Here you go sir you order of butt hurt with chili fries.
I just think of it this way.... who else would let their military travel back in time and blunder everything so bad?Mantonio said:The thing that bugs me most about this (and there are many, many things that bug me about this) is it being about the US Marines.
