I\'m working on a short film with a Roman soldier

[Robert Vermaat]

In the case of Alexander, movie fans still have plenty to complain about, or so I understand from reviews. But those complaints are about tiresome storytelling.

Yes. A combinmation of the costume details from 'Alexander' with the story from 'Gladiator' would have made an awesome movie. Even if they distorted history...

... If anyone wants to suggest something else for the scene, I welcome it.

Two Romans?

That would actually improve the scene, since they could then talk to each other. But I'm not sure I could scrounge up another one on the exact shooting day, whenever that ends up being. Even assembling the gear for one Roman has turned into a big project.[/quote]
I'm sure that if your Romans are only shot from afar and need not act at all, you'll have no trouble recruiting a well-equipped Roman from one of the local groups, or even several of them?
