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.
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.

Will he have a Julius Caesar haircut?
