hail Sean, the new Caesar
« on: April 20, 2014, 05:58:30 AM »

He’s made a career out of playing ruthless men who show their rivals no mercy – so Game Of Thrones star Sean Bean should be perfect as Julius Caesar in a new British film adaptation of Shakespeare’s play.

Sean will play the Roman dictator, appearing alongside Samantha Barks’s Portia and Mackenzie Crook, who takes the role of Cassius.

Sean, 55, will have his work cut out competing with the 1970 version, in which Caesar was played by acting legend John Gielgud, Portia was played by Diana Rigg and Charlton Heston played Mark Antony – that role will be filled this time by Misfits star Robert Sheehan.

The movie, called Caesar, has been given a £10 million budget and starts shooting this summer.

Great! I haven't had anything to add to the Death By Cow list in a long time. I could even do it now, seeing as how the world pretty much knows how good ole' Julius bit the big one.  :thumbsup:

Sean Bean Must Needs Beware the Ides of March?

Quote

How dangerous can playing Julius Caesar be? This article and IMDB page about the upcoming Caesar had me squeeing hard enough to crack my monitor. Is this for real? It reads like a fancast and I noticed a discrepancy regarding the casting of Antony. There’s supposed to be a supernatural bent too. Shakespeare shares a writing credit with Kira Madallo Sesay, so I’m guessing it’s not a straight read-through.
 I hope it doesn’t die in development hell, but for now let’s have fun and frolic in the fiery pit. With these hotties. Here are some of the main cast.

Sean Bean rocks in almost everything, Here’s to hoping they balance Caesar’s charisma with his ambition and capriciousness. Soo much potential for epic speechmaking.

Kalliope Films Attaches Travis Burns to "Caesar"

Quote
Australian actor, Travis Burns (23), has been attached to Kalliope Film''s Caesar.  The $10 million, chilling film adaptation of Shakespeare's shocking tale of ambition, betrayal, murder and the supernatural will look at Travis Burns as "Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus",  the son of a politician.
Sean Bean from The Lord of The Rings trilogy will head the cast playing Caesar.

I wouldn't be here if I wasn't a fan, but for some reason I really do find this casting to be kind of odd.  I really can't tell you why yet - it just feels like it ain't right to me. :wellll:

Every time I think of Caesar, I see Ciaran Hinds' face from his portrayal in the Rome series. I don't see togas as a good look for Sean.

I really don't see him as Caesar either.  However Caesar does die at the end. :sneak:

Sorry, Sable.  I think a lot of us will need brain bleach at the thought of that haircut.
