They will. I believe it's highly unlikely that it will be any good. Though with those actors they must at least have a decent budget.

Director: Wolfgang Petersen.

Das Boot was good. As for the rest of his films since then ...

There is actually 2 movies on Alexander the Great in development now as well.. 2004 they say is the year of the historical drama

Especially if Leo is playing in one of them.

I hope it goes well, but it's funny, there is always some year fad isn' there?

Remember in 1998 when it was Deep Impact and Armageddon and so on.

It's swords and sandals time again, guys.

But with Sean Fucking Bean as Odysseus- fuck I'd watch that.

Word has it that Claire Forlani was supposed to be in it.

And they're still looking for Helen. After all, her face has to launch a thousand ships.

Her face can launch my ship anytime.

Don't you just love it how anything can be turned into lewd inneuendo?

I'm sure more than her face is capable of launching ships.

Rosanne can play the role of the big wooden horse.

Yeah Hollywood goes through phases. Each studio (IE Warner, Fox, Columbia) get wind of what the other studio's are doing and so they set something of the same nature into the pipeline.

Spiderman - Daredevil - The Hulk...the comic book phase. Were now in a phase of sequels with both Matrix movies out this year, Terminator 3, Spiderman 2 coming along with Shrek 2 next year, Bad Boys 2, X-Men 2, Charlies Angels 2 Full Throttle [change of topic, does anyone remember the Full Throttle game by LucasArts?], LotR: Return Of The King, Batman 5 is due end of this year of middle of next, Indiana Jones IV starts shooting in May, Leathal Weapon 5 is due out soon after which Mel Gibson will start on Mad Max 4: Road To Fury, Tomb Raider 2...need I go on.

Oh forgot to add to that, the new Alexander The Great movie coming up looks set to feature Vin Diesel. Rumours go that James Cameron is getting onboard somewhere either Directing or Producing which is always good news for me.

Cool! Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom goin' Greek! (you DO know what I mean, don't you? )

Yay! The Trojan War! This will be interesting.

Aw, you're kidding me!

The only movie of his that I liked was Pitch Black. Well, this isn't his typical lame action movie, so maybe it'll be good. (I hope)

Ugh.

I bet for all these movies the good guys are all American sounding and the bad guys are all Arabic.

BTW: Where is the Persian Wars movie?

One of the Alexander the Great movies is being done by Baz Luhrmann. This seriously concerns me...

Oh well, we always have Gladiator.
