At first glance I read that as Pompeii, directed by Wes Anderson... Confusedmile:

Actually ... That might be a much better film, or at least more interesting. His films are full of 'magic.' Not the Harry Potter sort of sorcery, but the subtle magic we occasionally see in real life.

Meanwhile ... W.S. Anderson is looking at his film of Pompeii as his version of Cameron's Titanic, but set in ancient Rome. I suspect the next announcement will trumpet the news that the film will be shot in 3D.

I can't find the link to that thread either - bother! There was some interesting comments about making the film as I recall.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

I could totally watch a movie about the Roman military made by Wes Anderson. Bill Murray can play Caesar, Jason Swartzmann can be Octavianus Augustus, Luke Wilson can be Marcus Antonius. It would be awesome. :grin:
