Historical movies you want to see made
What subject or people do you wanna see somebody make a movie of? Here are my choices:
A movie about Hannibal's war with rome ( I hear that it might happen, and I wish they'd get on that)
A film detailing Ceasar's war against Vercingetorix and the Gauls.
A movie about the rivalry between Sulla and Marius (I guess ceasar would be in this too, but just as a child).
A movie about Boudicea.
An epic about the Battle of Thermopylae 10, 000 greeks vs. 1,000 000 Persians, and the fight comes down to 300 Spartans. Now that's drama.
My only wish is that they stay true to the story, I liked braveheart as a movie, but Mel shouldn't be rewriting history. And it sounds as though Stone is taking "liberties" with his Alexander movie as well.
Im so glad you mentioned her! She was an awesome Queen and warrior, i think it could be nice to have film about her.
I would also love to see a modern movie about Medea, but the way Euripides told it, with the revenge and stuff, that would make a kick ass movie indeed.

I don't think there should be movies about Historical content at all. Is bound to cause lot's of disagreements between people of different nations. It's better to make documentaries than movies. Some of these movies aim to criticize governments. Is better to leave history to the books, and if there is a need to put in on film let it be a documentary not a movie.
The Hannibal movie is being made theres a thread on it somewhere on the first two pages of this forum, i would like to see a movie made on the crusades.
When im older if I ever become a director or a screenplay writer I want to write a movie called "The Road to Damascus" about the life of Paul before and after he took the road to Damascus and saw Jesus which changed his life and caused him to stop persecuting christians.I want it to be very violent and show christians being persecuted and executed.But the big climax of the movie the thing I want everybody to come to see is Paul get stoned which ill probaly drag out for about 5 minutes I want it to be very graphic.I dont want it to be as long as the Passion on for about 1 hour and 45 minutes.

French Revolution. Nobody has the french revolution...why??? so much gore involved!
thats true though...i bet they'd cast Keira Knightley as Marie Antoinette i bet my LIFE. (even though she's not french) so what? Orlando Bloom wasn't talented enough to change his accent for Troy...GREEK ACCENTS! GREEEEEK! where did british accents come from??

i think they're making a film about the crusades (KINGDOM OF HEAVEN with Orlando) altho it does not seem to be a 'full-Crusades' film, just a backdrop.
i'd like to see a film made about Marie Antoinette...or the Napoleonic Wars. that seems interesting.
Please explain to me why would they have Greek accents? It makes more sense for the to be speaking Greek. Since the director didnt want that and most of the cast is either a Brit or Australian (a few Irish in the middle too) it only makes sense that they would settle on British english.
The epic battle where 300 greek warriors defended against 1000000 enemies, and caused so many casualties, that the enemies retreated (I cant remember the specific names of the factions that were fighting. I think the invaders were turkish, but i'm not sure)
A film about the first frusades (with richard the lionhart and saladin). Hopefully, it will show richard the lionhart and the pope and other king of europe at the time to be the tyrants that they were, rather than the romanticised versions of RTL in other hollywood movies.
A film about Nelson Mandella's life, up to when he was freed from prison.
A film about Martin Luther King's struggle for equality.
A real life story of one of the best trained shaloin monks.
An epic scale production of the napollionic wars (with napoleon vs Wellington/Nelson)
A long series of movies featuring the greatest of the Roman Emperors (with a different hollywood star for each film as emperor, and each film linking to the previous one).

The greek battle of which you speak eleven inches is the Battle at Thermopylae. It was originally 10,000 greeks vs. a million persians, but when they were betrayed, King Leonidas of the spartans ordered all the greeks to retreat and shore up defences further in greece, to hold off the persians for a time, 300 hundred Spartans (including Leonidas) remained and fought to the death, themselves killing 1,000's of persians before their end.
