<br>
"The screenplay is based on the extraordinary life of Cyrus the Great, who lived from 580-529 BC and founded the first Achaemenian empire in Persia."<br>
<br>
"No star roles have been cast but Sean Connery is being courted to play Cyrus and Angelina Jolie to be his empress."<br>

Great ...to hear that. Always enjoy a great epic from the past.<br>
Hopefully the tale will be kept in line with correct theme and costume on scence if possible.<br>

Ah, to be Sean Connery and have a woman young enough to be your granddaughter cast as your romantic interest. Is it a coincidence that film producers are usually middle-aged men? <p></p><i></i>
