I was really, really hoping to see "Gates of Fire" made into a great movie true to the book . . . which was probably not going to happen anyway, but I suppose now its completely done for unless "300" flops. "Gates of Fire" is such a good story. My ideal (dream, unrealilistic) cast involves getting Russel Crowe for Dienekes, Bradd Pitt for Polynikes, a younger Sean Connery for Leonidas, and one young fellow whose name I don't know but who was in 'Remember the Titans" for Alexandros. Ah well, a less than stellar movie would probably have ruined the book anyway.
Now I can move on to my next Greek-cinema dream: seeing a good movie made about Brasidas or Pericles.
