New Film on Julius Caesar...Sort of...
#1
This might belong in the Reviews Topic, but then again Off Topic seems right.

There is a new film about Julius Caesar in development -- that is to say a film of a graphic novel adaptation of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar set in the modern day London crime world. (Now you see why this might belong in Off Topic)

Mods please move as you see fit.

[size=150:3li8760h]Et Tu, F. Gary Gray?[/size]
Director to helm urban Caesar comic adaptation.

by Todd Gilchrist
August 19, 2008 - On Monday, August 18, 2008, Variety reported that F. Gary Gray is directing an adaptation of Julius, the Oni Press graphic novel adaptation of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. The announcement marks the latest Oni property to be adapted to film, following Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Resurrection, Courtney Crumrin and the Night Things, The Damned, Maintenance and Billy Smoke.

Julius, which is being developed by Mandalay Pictures, is a modern-day adaptation of Shakespeare's classic play, translated to an urban setting. According to Mandalay President Cathy Schulman, Gray "has a vision for this adaptation that will satirize obsessive consumerism while providing a thrilling ride for audiences."
