LAST LEGION movie

[Goffredo]

Hi guys<br>
some time ago I mentioned a book by Italian author Valerio Manfredi that wrote THE LAST LEGION. The book has been traslated in English and maybe some of you have read it.<br>
<br>
I don't want here to discuss the book other than to say that it takes place in the final months of the Empire following the destiny of Romulus Ausgustulus.<br>
<br>
Well I heard a TV interview of Manfredi the other evening and he says there is a plan to make a movie!<br>
Well I also know that some of our Italian forum members know Manfredi personally and can contact him.<br>
It would be important that there be a lobby, a pressure group, that firmly suggests and help him to keep the pressure on who will actually make the movie to ensure high standards in representing in some credible way what was left of the LATE ROMAN ARMY and of the armed germanics roaming the empire in those days.<br>
<br>
Valerio Manfredi is a talented writer and he hosts a decent TV series that discusses ancient history. So he might be open to our suggestions and HELP.<br>
<br>
If he and thru him the producers, costumists, whatever, get properly exposed to LATE ROMAN and "BARBARIAN" reenacting groups there is a chance a decent movie could be made.<br>

by the way Manfredi wrote the script to Oliver Stones' Alexander the Great movie that they say is being made (we already saw some nice photos on this forum).<br>
<br>
Ciao and lets keep a coordinated pressure on Manfredi.<br>
