I am sure you are all correct. Hollywood is Hollywood! No one decries the bending of fact (which is often a damn good story in itself) than me, just to introduce a more convinient or tittilating script. However, think on this...
Many people I know who are interested in history got where they got because sometime in their life a film kicked their interest into gear. With me it was Ivanhoe way back, with my daughter it has been the recent run of Queen Elizabeth I TV programmes and films. With my friends.....
Given the appalling history syllabus in the UK National Curriculum for schools, these films are probably one of the few ways to get history in front of many people.
After 32 years of re-enacting/interpretation, I know we can always do better and we do, but so does Hollywood. Give'em time, but at least they are making films about Hadrian rather than more crime thrillers and shoot'em ups.
That's it - rant over!

Quote:Daniel Craig is an excellent actor, and I think would make a great Hadrian. If you.........
Here's what I think: If the film goes ahead, and Craig plays Hadrian, I predict he'll be up for an Oscar. That's how good I think Craig is with the right material.
Hmmmmm, but can he grow a curly beard? :?

If he can't, the makeup guys can grow a curly beard for him. Shouldn't be too hard.
