I had no idea a film about Thermopylae is being planned. Sounds great at first... But when I think about it some more it could a ridicule of the theme... I...
The worst part of the movie, would be if George Clooney had anything to do with it. LD ... great ... ridicule ... it's ... some ... put ... throwing ... Gates ...
Louis, Given the choice would you rather have George Clooney or Mel Gibson? My vote is for George. Mel makes some very nice "entertainment" but he can...
I know that LD is a HUGE Leonitis fan... so I will LMFAO when it comes out that George Clooney is to play Leonitis himself... or better yet they could just get...

If I had to choose between Mel Gibson or Clooney, I suppose I would have to choose Clooney. Although I am not a real fan of either. Gibson still plays Mad Max...
I would much rather see Sean Connery, at his age play Leonidas, than either Gibson or Clooney. According to Plutarch when Leonidas was preparing to leave for ...

It seems clooney is the most likely candidate. I think he's an idiot. Leonidas needs to be played by someone with a strong, disciplined, heavy persona. How can...
Very interesting that Korean archers were nobles. Contrary to the west where killing by a missile weapon was considered a low deed. I think crossbows were...

Yes,as anything with Pressfield, very entertaining but not so strong and accurate on the historical side. He is more for the characters than the history,...
