well, nothing as long as the screenwriter doesn't move on with the story. There are some ideas for this project in my mind, but I don't think it's relevant any more..... (a pity - imagine that in six years, which is exactly 2000 years after the Clades variana, *no* film at all about the whole thing will reach the cinemas or TV-screens). <p>---------------<br>

Just took a look over on his site- there is an update for a new scene added (scroll down to the flashing "NEW" icon). Curiously, the date given for this addition is 11/01/03 (and it's not an announcement for a new scene to be added on that date- the scene is there now). I haven't been on the site for a long time though, so I don't know how new that scene is.<br>

That scene's been there since the 11th of January this year. Apparently they use the same date system in Australia as we do in Europe: day, month, year, instead of month, day, year. <p>Greets<br>

Tim, the creator of this project, has just told me that a big overhaul of the script is in the works and new scenes will be added soon. Not all is lost for a commemorative movie in 2009! (It's just that someone needs to come up with the cash ) <p>Greets<br>

Hey, for a free trip to New Zealand, I could bring bring 60 odd sets of great Roman kit, leather tents, catapult, lots of other goodies and with a good digital editor we could make it look like a cast of thousands. For the Spartan thing we did in Malta for Discovery Channel we had about 30 Spartans and we made them look like '300 Spartans', not to mention thousands of digitized Persians. Besides, all of those Hercules and Xena extras down there are probably looking for work and I have never caught a Tuatara yet, and its on my list (living fossil lizard-like reptile that only lives there.)<br>

Indeed, a movie in New Zealand could be good alternative – the landscape looks rather European and it’s much wilder and less overpopulated than the original sites in Central Europe. The scenes with Augustus and his family could be shot on Malta.<br>

I think the whole movie should have a similar direction as the best Vietnam-films, with the young recruit Marcus Aius as someone the young moviegoers can identify with, a bit like the less corrupted Charlie Sheen in “Platoonâ€Â
